Lincoln Avenue, Suite 2 Chicago, IL 60659 Telephone: 312-210-2428 Hours: Tues. - Sat. 10AM-7PM; Sun. 10AM - 6PM. Closed Monday I dropped off five winter coats, including a knee-length goose down filled one, two men's winter jackets, one women's hooded jacket, and a zip-out liner for one of the men's jackets. They were ready a week later. Total bill was $90.00. Compared to my local neighborhood, this was about half price. All garments were beautifully clean, no issues at all. Their tailoring services include wedding and prom dresses, women's, men's and children's suits and other clothes. A customer I met was having alterations to an old dress to bring it up to date, and said she has had Nura do her work for years. Two Asian women run the business. They are English-speaking, both very friendly and careful to get all the details down. It's a small shop, with obvious work in progress everywhere you look. Payment is by cash or credit card (I used Visa) on pickup. There is street parking along Lincoln Ave. A side street joins Lincoln just south of the address, which may have parking. Good connections to both the northern leg of the California Ave. CTA bus line, which connects to the Davis St. terminal in Evanston and Logan Square in Chicago, and the Lincoln Ave. CTA bus line, which goes from McCormick and Howard St. on the north to the Western Ave. Brown Line Station on the south.

My dress was very well done but they charged me $140 for a simple hem. I was too shocked and…read moreconfused and quite a bit embarrassed to ask what the reason for the charge was. They did not indicate there would be any sort of up charge or that it was a rush order or anything like that. It was ready early and done well... but it was 150% of the original cost of the dress. Iwas hoping that I could at least wear it to a few more weddings so that I didn't feel like I took such a big financial loss but alas it did not survive a very fun wedding (lol). I cannot afford to return here again and did confirm with 3 friends that they were charged the normal $40-50 for a hem at their respective tailors just in case I wasn't aware of some sort of crazy inflation on tailoring. Be sure to ask ahead of time what the charges will be so they don't take advantage of you or whatever it was that happened to me here!

That being said - and look at other recent reviews of this place, because there's a theme - their pricing is moronic. Had my jacket brought in, sleeves lengthened and pant thighs brought in. $200 for that... that should be no more than $125. They don't post their prices and they hand write their receipt so they have freedom to charge whatever they want right there and it's a tough position to negotiate when the receipt is already written and you're standing there. They do a nice job but there are several other places in the neighborhood that are much cheaper. I would recommend elsewhere.

Buyer Beware Our…read moregroup needed 2 bridesmaid dresses tailored for an upcoming wedding. Akram Hanna told us that walk-ins were welcome and accepted the dresses for inspection to determine a price. During this interaction, no consultation fee was mentioned, no credit cards were taken, and no agreements were signed. Note that there is also no service fee or consultation fee mentioned on the company website. However, upon receiving a call with the estimate, the prices were far above what we were willing to spend, so we let them know that we'd shop elsewhere based solely on the cost of the alterations. Unfortunately, the dresses were then, for lack of a better phrase, held hostage. The company's response was that "for wasting their time" $60 per dress needed to be paid before getting our property back. No tailoring had been started, and again, no previous mention of added cost had occurred. After significant back and forth, a member of our group went to collect the unaltered dresses in-person. The company still refused to return the expensive dresses and out of panic, she ended up paying $20 per dress for their safe return. During this process, the staff berated her and were extremely unprofessional. This unethical business practice borders on thievery, and we now feel completely taken advantage of, and frankly, extorted. I would recommend everyone to stay far away from Akram Hanna unless you enjoy exorbitant hidden fees, shockingly rude staff, and a ransom for the return of your unaltered property.

Because a cold front was coming in and I was traveling, I needed this relatively quickly. She initially quoted me almost 2 weeks but then said she could do it in about 5 days. $30 total paid in advance. When I picked up the coat the button was fixed but the lining was not. At that point I didn't have time to wait a few extra days to fix it, so I paid $30 to resew a button. To be fair it's a solid button but I had to take my coat somewhere else to get the lining fixed before my next Chicago winter trip.
