Very overpriced, I showed what I needed done but they started cutting up my top before I could agree on what they were doing or the price. Was not easy to work with and was acting shady the whole time. Would have absolutely gone somewhere else if they hadn't completely taken my blouse apart before telling me they couldn't do what I was asking for. read more

This place is great. Their level of accuracy is the best. Got a first time customer discount which is always nice. Also, they text you when it is ready. Was right on time as well! Great place I highly reccomend this business. read more

Great place to get anything altered! The place feels very clean, and the seamstress is very knowledgeable. I don't have many other places to compare it to in terms of price, although it seemed reasonable to me! I would come again. Their time frame takes a bout a week, and they do a very good job! read more

I love Pro Hem! They do an amazing job. I just wish it wasn't so pricey!! Sorry! Your quality and service is great!

Great experience at Pro Hem Studio. They were very accommodating, did quality work, and were super personable throughout the process. Everything was handled quickly and professionally. Would definitely come back--highly recommend! read more

Zhila was super nice and able to accommodate our expedited request. Very lovely store front. So happy we found a local business we can support. read more

BAIT AND SWITCH I came here as a recommendation from the bridal store I bought my wedding dress from. I called pro hems and they quoted me from $250-$375 depending on the gown. Since they came as a recommendation, I decided to take the 45 min drive to pro hems to dry clean my gown. I wanted to make sure it was done right. I arrive, and the lady inspects it. She repeats the same prices and told me she would let me know because the team had to inspect it. That should have been my first clue. I don't believe they dry clean in house. She also notices the zipper is broken and quotes me $40 for the zipper. The following week I get a text message that the cost of the gown would be $500. The zipper is now $75 to replace. At this point I'm pretty upset. If there is a possibility of charging this much, it should have been stated. The only reason I decided to agree was because it wasn't worth driving almost an hour to pick it up and take it somewhere else. She told me she would fix the zipper for free. When I went to pay the total came out to $525. I was confused again. Tax makes sense, but what about the extra dollars? Then she told me we charge a credit card fee. Once again 0 transparency. I truly wish I went somewhere else. They did a great job, but when people pull a bait and switch it's infuriating read more

A little shorter on a couple pants than I wanted so just be aware but excellent service.

They made a plain dress that I got from D&B and added a few things that I wanted to the dress and I loved how it came out ! I most definitely recommend this place and the staff is most definitely sweet read more

The people are nice. The quality of work is good. The prices are insane. I was here a year or so ago and the pricing was reasonable...but apparently not anymore. I dropped 2 light jackets (along the lines of blazers) for cleaning and also needed a simple seam sewn (approximately 3 inches of sewing on a regular exposed seam on the inside of the sleeve; I could have done it in under 5 mins at home). The price? $90. ~$40 to dry clean a blazer?! Insane. I regret not asking for detailed pricing before dropping off. Will find a new place as being ripped off isn't a favorite past time of mine. read more

Love Pro Hems - they are definitely Professional and always deliver excellent work in a reasonable timeframe!

Fast efficient clean courteous and a terrific job. I've taken several items and most are unique and the challenge was met every time with excellence...Thank you! read more

Unfortunately, I didn't realize it til it was too late that this place was under new ownership. Had I known and read the Yelp reviews beforehand, I would've taken the pants elsewhere for a better price. Took 2 pairs of casual, linen blend pants for a simple hem because they were a couple inches too long. Cost to hem: One of the pants was a solid color and cost $18.00 and the other one was stripped and that cost $18.75. It took 6 days to get them back. I was shocked by their pricing because I've never paid that much for just a simple hem. The alterations costs more than the pants! Although the ladies that work there were nice and got the job done, I know I can go elsewhere for less for the same quality & service. read more

Zhila took middle value suits and shirts and turned them into ultra high value suits and shirts. She made me look like I was wearing $5000+ suites and $350 shirts! The knowledge and craftsmanship she possesses is second to none. I was nervous moving to a new tailor (my old one moved on) but Zhila made me a life long customer. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Had a seamed that came undone in my jacket. The estimate was accurate and it was completed on time. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you for the care you provided to me and my jacket :) read more

These people are lovely but this is by far one of the most expensive alterations places in north county. If you come here, be prepared to spend some serious money. I was quoted $275 plus for bridesmaids dress alterations. read more

Professional and friendly alterations. The women helped me to see what looks best on me. Very courteous! A great experience and great quality. read more

Great work but i felt that the pricing was high. Not sure I would return based on pricing alone.

I had looked at Yelp and decided to try this place for alterations of my daughters jeans. She is a tween and growing in height quite fast. But her waist has been staying the same. We decided to get her two pair of adult jeans at Seven as an investment that were 6 inches too long for her so we can take out the leg often as she grows. These are really nice expensive jeans. I told Zhila that the jeans needed to have two inches cut off the bottom and to please tuck under the 4 inches so we could take them out as she grew. The hem was a 2" hem at the bottom so she only needed to fold it and sew it at the two inch mark and it would look like the original hem. She said she understood and did I want the hem to look like the original and I said yes, the two inch looking hem is what I want and it will hide the bulk of the folded material. The cost was $38 each to hem them, I paid $76 dollars total for the alterations. When I returned 5 days later at first glance they looked okay because they looked like when we left with the 2" hem line but when we got home I looked at them and was appalled. She had cut the pants clean off at the 6" mark and then trimmed 4 inches off the pants and sewed the original base right back on the pants that made it look similar to the original style but without and material to take out when she grows. There is no extending the pants at all. It completely defeated the purpose of us getting these two pairs of pants. I am so disappointed we spent not only the money for the jeans but $76 for the alterations and they may not even last more than 5 months. I can't even imagine what she was thinking cutting off the 4 inches, I have honestly never seen anyone do anything like that. read more

Wow, their prices have sky rocketed!! My husband took some pants in for hem last year and pricing was under $20. My daughter dropped off a pair of pants for a basic straight hem and the price is now $30 plus $20 rush fee to get them within 5 days. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go to my normal seamstress in Encinitas who would do it for $15 and no extra charge for "rush" because 5 days is about her standard turn around time for a basic hem. I understand that business costs have increased but $50 for a basic hem is beyond ridiculous! read more

Brought a jacket here for prom. Called before going and spoke to owner. I asked if they could do it by that Saturday and she said yes. She said they normally charge a rush fee but that if I brought the jacket in she wouldn't charge it. So we did a couple of hours later. And as we're checking out she charges me a rush fee. I reminded her of our conversation and she tells me she remembers speaking to me but that she said no such thing. I would have brought the jacket in regardless. It needed to get done. But she essentially called me a liar. Repeatedly. And I hadn't even asked for her to waive anything. She offered! Ugh. I didn't argue, just paid. Whatever. They did an ok job. I wasn't there at pick up. Pricey regardless of rush fee. Jacket didn't fit great but not worth the hassle of going back. read more

I had a last minute alteration needed for a wedding guest dress. They were able to get my dress done for a reasonable upcharge for the rush. They made a suggestion for the dress I had not heard before, which was helpful. I will try them again for a more complicated order. read more

Zhila and Farah made my experience here exceptional. I needed some last minute alterations for my intimate wedding ceremony last weekend and they were able to get the dress altered the same day! They truly care about their work and this passion shows in their commitment to excellence. The dress was perfect! Thank you so much! read more

Can't say enough for my new-found tailor, Zhila. I had a couple terry cloth seat covers that needed altering and Zhila had some great ideas about how best to design what was needed and they turned out great. She did one of them on the spot while I waited and was so very gracious with her time and efforts to get them finished ahead of what I was expecting time-wise. She's kind and does great work at a reasonable price so I will plan to come here from now on with all of my altering needs. read more

If you're looking for a good tailor, this is your place. I probably drive past a half dozen other tailors to come here anytime I need anything done. They are very knowledgeable and always take their time to go over alteration options, suggestions, and pricing. Pricing is also super reasonable, definitely recommend. read more

What made this business special has gone. The prices are nothing out of the ordinary and the time to wait is pretty ridiculous. A simple hemming on a pair of mens pants took a week. Honestly, if you were a previous customer of this establishment don't expect the same level of service or quality as before. They are very nice folks but won't last here. Read the other reviews. I should have before just going in! read more

Pro Hems was not the closest tailor to me, but they were the easiest to work with. They responded quickly to my Yelp quote request and were able to meet my turnaround deadline of 5 days. I had to have 2 straight leg pants hemmed to skinny leg (shut up, skinny leg is still cool), and they quoted me $48 for both. Kathy's Tailoring in Oside wanted to charge me $56 EACH! They text you when it's ready for pick up, and my pants were a day before scheduled. The studio is nice, the people working there are lovely, and the price is very reasonable. Definitely coming back for future tailoring needs! read more

This family run business of sisters is AMAZING! These women are friendly, professional, quick and experienced. I needing my wedding dress altered and was short on time. These ladies were patient and loving. Finished my dress early and the quality of the adjustments were perfect! Thank you so so much!!! read more

Theres a reason this tailor is the best in town - their customer service and skill are unmatched! Not only did they deliver a perfectly altered suit for me, but they also stayed an HOUR past closing to make sure I got my suit before my flight. Absolutely incredible! A million stars out of five!! -Tim :-) read more

Brought several items of clothing to be altered. One pair of pants needed taking in at waist. They did a good job with the taking in, however, neglected to replace the belt hoop on the back. Didn't notice till I put the pants on a week later. So, now pants can't be warn with a belt. Another pair needed the clip/hook at waist to be sewn back on more securely. It's secure now, however, it's sewn to far in that the hook is off. Again, I didn't notice till weeks later when I went to wear the pants. Lesson to self: Try on before leaving the shop! Also, I think it would serve better to once in awhile thank someone for a 5 star review rather than only replying and defending to lesser starred reviews . read more

The sweet and talented ladies at Pro Hems tailored a vintage jacket that had been in my family for generations; to fit me like it was always meant to. They removed a stain (ink pen) that I had gotten on the jacket back in '88; I was convinced long ago that stain was never coming out: but they removed it! Finally; I had lost the original button years ago; they voluntarily presented a variety of buttons to me, one of which was a near perfect match, and attached it in minutes. I am truly grateful, and was clearly the most sharp dressed man at the wedding that weekend (sorry groom; family vintage trumps 3-piece-suit). read more

If I would give the place a zero I would. I use to come here all the time when it was the old owners. These new owners are rude, overcharge, and take advantage of people. I came in once for a dress hem and wanted to charge me 150, mind you I paid 129 for my dress. I ended up taking it somewhere else where they charged me 35. My mom and sister came here one last time. Andcompletely over charged here for her hem, charging her $400. My mother said just this last time because even she felt taken advantage now. Everytime we were coming in. I felt they kept changing us more and more. Honestly I wouldnt come here again. There so many more places around with reasonable prices. And you can never tell them when you need your item by or else they will also charge you a rush fee. I learned this the hard way. They also spoke bad about the previous owners saying they lost their business. When in reality they sold it because they wanted to move closer to their family. Overall don't go here unless your ready to spend your whole paycheck or the same amount of the dress. read more

I absolutely recommend this establishment! They are all so kind and friendly and truly seem to care and take pride in the work they do .. which results in grade A quality work. I needed a bench cushion altered that I had purchased online, resized and sewn, they took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and made the measurements EXACT. I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be coming back here in the future for all our clothing alterations and any household items that need to be resized and/or reupholstered. I'm so happy to have found this place and I'm sure you will be too:) read more

This place does a nice job and they are pretty quick but they are SO overpriced. Constantly changing the prices on me. I got the same pair of pants zipper fixed about two months ago and all of a sudden it was $4 more dollars and I asked why did it go up and she told me that the price of zippers are more expensive and I'm like seriously? How much can zippers and buttons cost? They also quoted me $250 for dress alterations on a super simple dress!! I could not believe that. No thanks, Taking my business elsewhere. read more

The new management, sisters, are very difficult to work with and will not negotiate their price at all. Their pricing is three times the cost of local studios. don't waste your time unless you want to be taken advantage of. I walked out of the store yesterday and found somebody in Carlsbad Village who is more reasonably priced combined with excellent workmanship, The original owner was a total sweetheart. She was always willing to work with me. Unfortunately, the new management is hopeless. In times like these, I want my money going to good people. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

This great tailoring place is one of the nicest and fanciest ones I have been to. The modern decor inside could make you think that you'll be paying a higher price for the services, but it's actually the opposite! They have a great price for a regular pants hem. They did a great job with hemming two jeans with one being tapered the way I wanted it. Will definitely take my dry cleaning and tailoring needs here! read more

Love the ambiance of this alteration studio! They provide dressing rooms for you to try on the clothes you'd like to alter to make sure you get the perfect fit. read more

I just paid $90 to hem 3 pairs of men's jean type pants. They changed owners so they thought they could get away with it since I didn't check beforehand. Who knew they would pull this? I live close by but will find a more reasonable shop. read more

I am always thrilled with the beautiful work that Prohem does. They are professional, warm and welcoming, and do exquisite tailoring every time I bring something in. I recently brought in a beautiful embroidered coat kimono that I knew might be a challenge to alter but they did it in just days with perfect results. So thankful to have such amazing experts nearby. read more
