I've been going here for years, and my clothes have always been cleaned beautifully. The customer…read moreservice had also been consistently good, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Last fall, I brought in a suede jacket for cleaning and was told it would be sent to a specialty cleaner because it was suede. When I checked on it in February, I was told it was taking longer because the suede cleaner had been on leave. When I followed up again last month, I was shocked to be told they had never received my jacket. After checking their system, they insisted I had never dropped it off. What disappointed me most was not even the lost jacket. It was the lack of accountability and the complete absence of an apology. I was not asking for compensation. I simply wanted someone to acknowledge what happened and say they were sorry. Instead, when I pulled the owner aside to express my disappointment, she looked at me with confusion, as though I was making the whole thing up.

July 9, 2026 I hate leaving bad reviews so much that I…read moreactually go back and delete them at later dates to not jeopardize anyone's livelihood or reputation, but this one will, hopefully, be immortalized. The first thing you need to know is that this establishment does not have a standardized list of services or prices anywhere online or in their shop. I first went to them on June 22 to have five dresses dry cleaned (quoted $79.45), one blazer dry cleaned and shortened (quoted $52.95), and one dress' zipper repaired as well as have it dry cleaned (quoted $52.99 or $29.99 depending on if the existing zipper was salvageable or needed to be replaced). The prices seemed a bit steep to me, so I told the woman at the desk, Eden, that I would shop around for a cleaner and maybe return. I decided that paying for convenience was worth it and returned on July 8 due to Barr's close proximity to my workplace. This time, I dropped off two dresses for dry cleaning/stain removal (paid $29.98), one dress to just have the zipper repaired (paid $28), and two blazers to just have shortened (paid $50 each). When I got to work, I realized that I was paying almost the exact same amount to simply have a blazer altered that I was quoted for an alteration AND dry cleaning a couple of weeks ago. I called to inquire about this and was given the runaround. A man who I suppose is the manager initially said that he did not know why the pricing was what it was then told me that it was perhaps due to some promotion going on. I asked how much the promotion was to result in the pricing nearly being equivalent, and he said 10% which still doesn't make sense. I told him so, then, presumably due to being tired of speaking with me, he told me that I could come pick up my items and receive a refund which worked perfectly fine with me. While picking up my items, Eden told me that the refund had to be processed through an accountant and that the man I spoke to before was not in at the moment to discuss things further. After getting in contact with him, he told me that the refund had been initiated and to text them my email address to receive proof of this via email. As of the afternoon of July 9, I have still not received an actual refund, confirmation of a refund, or any specific timeline for the processing of my refund. I called Barr this morning after they ignored my texts and got an AI assistant for the first time since trying to resolve this matter, so it seems I'll just be disputing these charges with my bank. These business practices are egregious, and I can only imagine how many others have been charged on a whim but did not realize and thus could not rectify matters. I cannot recommend Barr Cleaners any less. UPDATE (July 10, 2026): Barr Cleaners said they issued a refund this morning and requested my email to send me a refund receipt. I will update this review a final time when I receive the receipt. UPDATE (July 10, 2026): I received confirmation of a refund via email this afternoon. I'm glad to have this matter finally resolved, but my original rating still stands.

I took my puffer vest to get cleaned her after two small stains, when I picked it up I was…read morehorrified. Not only were the stains still there, there was two more stains and they STAPLED their papers to the hood of the vest leaving holes in the hood. They also stapled another paper to the coat hook inside and claimed they do this all the time, zero logic. I left a review, received a call that I would receive a refund and they would pay for the $300 vest. Of course neither happened so here I am.

Unfortunately, they don't take responsibility when they lose your items. I took some valuable items there and unfortunately they lost one of the items. They gave the runaround for 2 months and then tried to give me an item that wasn't mine as a replacement. They then tried to deny responsibility. If you want a cleaners thats going to get your every day shirts and pants clean they are good for that but if you want a business that won't lose valuables and is dependable then I suggest finding a different establishment.

I thought I would have to throw them all away and it would be a lost cause. I came back to pick them up today and couldn't believe how clean and brand new they looked. I still feel like they had to have gone out and bought the same shirts, couldn't believe it was possible to recover them. Moreso, I was charged the same price I'm normally charged even thought they were so much dirtier. I don't have many dress shirts so I go here once every week and they have been so nice and the shirts have come back perfect every time.

The owners are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Everyone on staff is always super pleasant, remembers you, and handles the front of the store with ease and professionalism. I've never seen an unpleasant customer interaction there, and I've been going there for years. The clothes always come back exactly as you'd like them. They are very, very consistent. I've never had a complaint. Their prices for the area, I would say, are in the mid-range. I had a bit of sticker shock when I tried one of the dry cleaners closest to me one day. I also appreciate their honestly. A short while back Mr. Park told me they couldn't clean a coat I had brought in - it was waxed denim - while guaranteeing that the cleaning process wouldn't cause discoloration in the coat. I told him I appreciated his candor and gave him the ok to go ahead. He made a point of putting it to the side so he could explain the level of care needed to whomever would be doing the actual cleaning. It looked great when I picked it up! I have never used the seamstress/tailoring services but I know they do a poppin' business so I have to guess that, too, is a winner. I'm very happy I am still close enough to Parks to remain a customer, because they do an awful lot to earn the loyal clientele they have!

Yeah, I know. Leave it to me to bank of getting dry cleaning done the same day I am leaving for a trip. And, just my luck....my usual dry cleaners machine was broken!! So I was scrambling to find another cleaners in the neighborhood, with hours to spare. Yelped this one and gave them a call. I was greeted with the friendliest voice and she simply asked....How soon can you get here and the rest was done. I was greeted by the owners and they got me in and out of there. The quality of the dry cleaning was excellent, the turnaround is quick, and the price point was really good. All my items came by super clean, pressed and looking new. They even called me and told me when my items were ready for pickup and were willing to wait if I would be running late. Where else can you find a more friendly dry cleaning service in the city!? I am totally sold!....And, this place truly earned my business for accommodating me in such outstanding service!!
