This was not an easy task, I was preparing for a Harlem Renaissance event and brought them a Zoot Suit to alter. The fit was absolutely perfect, they captured perfectly what I was seeking and I won Best Dressed at the event. Thank you indeed, Great Job!!! read more

They are meticulous, priced competitively and customer friendly. They have great attention to detail. I've always had a great experience.

They altered my wedding dress! Very quick visits, and they were able to make the adjustments in about 6 weeks. We are hosting a wedding reception in a few months and I'll be going back to have them add a bustle, and do some additional work on it. Will continue to have all my clothes that need tailoring done by them! read more

I am raising my great-grandson, who is extremely hard on clothes and shoes! The zipper on his new winter coat worked just fine when he left for school in the morning, but wouldn't unzip when he got home. I tried everything - it would go up but not down. I found Salem Custom Tailoring on an online search and I am so glad I did. The owner was so nice and the shop is so bright and clean and organized! He fixed the coat in minutes and for a very, very reasonable price! I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend Salem Custom Tailoring to all my friends and family. read more

Great job with my mother of the bride dress! Thank you for a beautiful transformation! read more

On Oct 1st, the dress I had ordered for my daughters wedding was too big on the shoulder strap. I called the business first thing in the morning in a panic. The owners said to bring the dress in right away and they could have it fixed the same day. They were AMAZING. They did a fantastic job for such a short amount of time. I would definitely highly recommend them for any future tailoring needs. Thank you so much Salem Custom Tailoring. read more

Great business! They have hemmed pants, dresses and gowns perfectly for me. Then I gave them 2 king bedspreads to make into 4 Twin bedspreads for a bunk room! Very nice job! And they are so very friendly, easy to work with, extremely efficient and precise! Finally found my go to Tailor!! read more

I have had many pieces of clothing altered here and they have always come out amazing. I have had nothing but a great experience with Salem Custom Tailoring and I will always recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a reputable tailor. read more

the customer service is abysmal and non existent. I dropped off a pair of jeans, said the latest possible pick up date was 10 days from drop off. when I called 7 days later asking if they're ready yet, just to check in, I got absolutely berated on the phone about how I said a different date and I'm wrong. All he needed to do was tell me they're busy and it's not done yet. Instead I got yelled at, interrupted and talked to for 15+ minutes, multiple phone calls because I eventually hung up due to the rudeness and a final voicemail telling me they would no longer work on the pants and to come get them. Absolutely asinine place to attempt to do business with. I will never come back. read more

We've needed the expert services here several times over the years, and they have always surpassed my expectations. They're very reasonably priced and very prompt if needed. Every time I go, I feel like I should bring half (or all) my wardrobe to them, because they make everything fit better, like the clothes are made for me. This is absolutely the go-to tailor for the area, no contest! read more

Called the store to see if I needed an appoitment. I was told I did not and to come down when it was convenient for me. We did and were accomadated right away. My daughter and I needed alterations of our dresses for my son's wedding. I can not say enough about the work that was done. They are very kind, professional, and extremely detail oriented. We were so pleased with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Salem Custom Tailoring to anyone. read more

Booked an appointment 4 months in advance for wedding dress tailoring. When I made the appointment, they seemed surprised when I asked if I should leave my phone number. Drove an hour for the appointment only to find a sign on the door stating they were closed for the week. No one attempted to contact me to cancel/change my appointment. Thankfully, a very kind and skilled tailor at a different business worked me in on the same day. If you're thinking of using them for wedding dress alterations, I suggest having a backup plan or triple checking your appointment. read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They did a beautiful job on my last minute request... wonderful people and very talented!

I had some trousers altered, adding a zipper up the inseam to accommodate my prosthetic leg. The work was fantastic, the zipper is barely noticeable and it makes putting on my prosthetic much easier. I'll certainly go back if I need more tailoring. read more

I try to mend or sew things myself to save money. I am not a pro at it, so I need a pro for the hard jobs. Located right off Rt 28 N (N Broadway) this independently owned shop helped me out big time. I had a unusual item that I needed mended, a medical sling for a hoyer lift, and the owner guy did a great job. Took over a week and a half but no bigger. The sling is like new and this guy has a new customer. $20 bucks. Cash only. Def would recommend. read more

My fiancé and I take all our tailoring needs to Salem Custom Tailoring. We enjoy dressing up and going out to various functions, including charity dinners and concerts. They are even working on the wedding dress. If it's not a tux rental, most of our outfits require some Tailoring and SCT has always been on time and their work is spot on. Rachel and Tom read more

I have used Salem Custom Tailoring for a few years now. They are amazing! The clothing comes out perfectly and looking as if they were never altered in the exact style as originally (e.g., cuffs and hems). They are professional and friendly, the items are completed in the time stated. They are reasonably priced. read more

Excellent, fast, precise service. Great pricing and awesome customer service. I highly recommend this business.

Brought some work uniforms to these guys and they came out great! I look and feel great at work. Got a lot of compliments too. Then brought two pairs of work pants and they nailed it again! The only issue is that they are a bit pricey but their talent shows the price is justified! It was $180 for three white tops ( arms had to be shortened and the midsection taken in) and it was $15 per pair of pants to be hemmed. I will be coming back to get more of my clothes done! Thanks SCT!! read more

We've had everything from uniforms, dresses, shirts, pants, suits, and prom gowns tailored here and can't say enough good things about the quality of work they do. It's obvious they are talented, experienced, and take pride in their work. Not only that but they are honest, friendly, and accommodating. We highly recommend this family run business! read more

Very accommodating and very friendly. They fixed a botched job from a tailoring in Boston on a suit I ordered. I take all my tailoring here now. Highly recommended read more

I had a horrible experience at this tailoring shop and caution people (especially women) from supporting this business... I needed last minute alterations done to a bridesmaids dress that included taking in the shoulder straps and hemming the dress. Prior to bringing my dress in to be tailored, I called the shop and specifically asked if they would be able to perform the alterations to my dress within a limited time period and the man that I spoke with said that they would be able to perform the alterations. When I was fitted for alterations on my dress (on Monday) I was asked when I needed to pick it up and I said Thursday morning as I would be heading to a wedding up north later that day- he ( who I think is the owners younger brother) gave me a receipt that stated that the cost was $130 which is expensive for what I needed done to the dress but due to it being last minute I didn't mind paying for what needed to be done. I went to the shop on Thursday morning to pick up my dress when an older man and his middle aged son were behind the counter and I asked to pick up my dress- they were looking all over for the dress until the middle aged man finally went upstairs and stated that they needed more time to do the alterations- I stated that I didn't have time as I would be leaving for a wedding. I then asked for the dress back- he refused to give it to me stating that he needed 2 hrs to get the alterations finished and I said no give me the dress and then he said 1 hour and I said ok. And then he proceed to state how I didn't give them enough time and that they had over 200 dresses that they needed to perform alterations on in an abrasive manner. I had my husband go in to pay for and pick up the dress and the middle aged man had nothing to say to him. So basically I paid 130 dollars for a little over an hours worth of work to a dress that was not altered properly (loose straps) and was made to feel like the lack of communication within the business was my fault. The worst part is I was given a recommendation to get the alterations done by a seamstress who would have had it done the next day (but was located farther away) and it would most likely of been less expensive. read more

We took a prom dress here and at first the customer service was good, but ultimately the dress wasn't tailored well at all. When we questioned the work and had asked for adjustments the owner and his son's were verbally abusive and insulting. In our opinion they were overwhelmed and basic tailoring might be there speciality but that is it. I would not recommend this tailor shop to anyone for anything read more

Very expensive for very poor quality. Brought a simple gown to be hemmed and change the zipper out from gold to black. Hem was ok, nothing special. The zipper job was terrible. No hook to close it at the top which was needed since a poor quality zipper was used that was rounded at the top. The zipper unzipped, as a result, the entire night of the event. While wearing the dress I noticed something long and bulky around my butt. The zipper was about 24" long and they used about 12" of it - they simply left the other 12 inches hanging in the dress and did not properly cut it and stitch it. The job was a $10 job for labor but cost $90. Will not go there again - horrible. read more

This is a great place for all your tailoring needs! I have been here a few times for alterations and have always received excellent service. It is a family business with kind, trustworthy people! I like to give my money and my business to nice people and Habib , his wife and their sons are just that! They also have beautiful long dresses for proms or other formal occasions- all for just $50! If you need anything tailored then this place does not disappoint! read more

Best tailors in town. Not only is their customer service superior, but their work is amazing. I've been to this tailor several times for pants hem, adding a liner to my jacket and resizing my husbands hat. Each time I am blown away by their work. They are also very quick! They are worth every penny. read more

They are overpriced and have a sign inside that they only take cash for alterations, but I was 6 weeks from my wedding and my dress came in late so I was just going to have them do it. They had my wedding dress for 2.5 weeks and went for my second fitting (an appointment they made with me at my first fitting) they hadn't even touched my dress. They also had a hard time finding it. They were very rude when I asked why they had me come back for a second fitting when they hadn't even started my dress telling me that I couldn't tell them how to do their job and actually insulted me about my job because I had my name tag on since I came on my lunch break. Then when I said I wanted my dress and deposit back they continued to tell me that no one else would be able to do my dress in time and would do a horrible job. I went to another place that day and they fitted it much better than the guy had originally done. read more

I've been coming here for years and have always been impressed with the timely service and more importantly the quality of how well my clothes are tailored. This past week I was heading back to work and needed a shirt and dress tailored for work pretty quickly and the owners were more than happy to make it happen which in opinion went above and beyond. My husband also has all of his uniforms for work tailored here as well and has always been pleased with the results. I highly recommend this business to all of my friends and family and have never been disappointed. 10 stars if I could! read more

This place is the absolute best! 2 weeks before my sisters wedding there was a mishap with the alterations on her original wedding dress. Next thing we knew they pulled out a couple dresses for her to try on and She went from a bride in distress to the happiest bride I knew! Thank you all for your kindness, patience and your utmost professionalism that each one of you displayed! Top of my list for this shop! Thank you again for being a huge part of the most beautiful day she could have!! She looked stunning! The alterations were flawless and it fit her like a glove . read more

This little shop goes above and beyond! I was in such a jam when ordering suit after suit online and nothing working for my sons first communion. I had gone to men's warehouse the month prior and they were NOT helpful at all! Salem custom tailoring ordered me a rental, had in to me in just a couple of days. I was stuck at work and they brought it to me!!!! Honestly. Not many places like this anymore! While I was in there I was poking around at the beautiful dresses they have ! Highly recommended going in here for suits, dresses and any tailoring needs! read more

I had two dresses I needed for a vacation in a week (one hem and one being taken in) and it was during the busy prom season. Very friendly owner who was able to accommodate in time! The store is cute and clean and they also sell prom/formal dresses at the storefront which I didn't realize. read more

The only place I will go for tailoring ever again! The owner is prompt and courteous. I am very short and I always have to get my pants hemmed and rather than butcher them myself I can take them in to Salem Custom Tailoring and pick them up at the close of day and he only charges me 15$ a hem. That is a steal in my book. I brought him 2 pairs earlier this year and he had them done in a day and understood my need for it to be same day pick up. I just picked up two more pairs today and they are perfect. The length is great and he managed to keep the width of the original bottom throughout the jeans minus the almost extra foot of fabric. Often when I have to get my pants hemmed they just cut and hem. The owner lets the pants out on the side too so it still maintains the boot it or bellbottom style. Never will I give my pants to a company that sends them out for a week or two again. Get good customer service and precise work done here. read more

Excellent experience ! I brought in 2 leather jackets that needed lining alterations and a favorite blouse that needed to be taken in. Perfect work done at a reasonable price. I'm bringing in a leather car coat to get an estimate on taking it in a couple of sizes. Who knows, it might be worth it! read more

So give him a try you will a Happy Customer Just like me read more

My mother and I took our bridesmaid/mother-of-the-bride dresses to be altered at Salem Custom Tailoring. The owner and employees are very friendly and courteous, and they did an excellent job with both of our dresses. The price was reasonable for the quality work. I've also taken pants in to be hemmed in the past and had a similarly positive experience. They also make a strong effort to get work done quickly when necessary. I very highly recommend this place. read more

I brought my wedding gown in to be taken in a little. He put in four pins, and said it will take almost two weeks to do. We talked price, he wanted 375 dollars to make a small alteration and press it. That was more than I paid for the dress! I slept on it and spoke with some family that said they could get the alterations done at my house for under $100. I decided that it was not worth that price, but foolishly, I had already left the dress there. I called as soon as they opened, and he was very good about giving me the dress back. He didn't even charge for the consultation, so there's no harm in going to talk to the guy if you need a professional job done. You are going to pay for what you get though. read more
