5 VERY HIGH if not 6 stars! Only because as a male, finding a reliable tailor who actually listens to your requests can be a never ending quest. A quest that frankly can be an expensive and anxious one by entrusting total strangers with literally cutting up your clothes. After Yelping and Googling high and low, I'm so glad to have found DJ. Nothing against those businesses that do alterations along with dry cleaning but I'm glad I've found an experienced TAILOR who truly takes pride in their work! DJ himself was a very professional tailor throughout my whole experience. Immediately from responding to my questions, appointment requests, all the way to the very end leaving me with professionally fitted clothes! During fitting, DJ was very professional by taking his time with measurements, throwing in bits of recommendations while still encouraging your requests. Unlike past experiences I've had with alteration shops where they have you raise an arm and leg or two then send you out the door faster than you came in (how comforting yes?). I had a few high end aloha shirts and pants tailored. I initially intended on just having 1 shirt done then going from there but DJ's attention to detail gave me the peace of mind that I could entrust everything with him. So happy to say, I've found a personal tailor I can go to for all my fitting needs! read more

I am so happy with the amazing service I received, I'm only five feet so ordering pants online is the worst experience ever because companies will tell you they are made for petite and it's not true at all. I was trying to find someone close to me and saw this place was literally a mile away, he took me in the same day I called and hemmed all three of my pants for me, he actually had it done a day early and said I could come pick them up. DJ is very professional and kind and he holds a lot of knowledge when he speaks about sewing and clothing, the hems on my pants were done so well and professionally I am very happy with my experience and the prices are extremely reasonable. Please go this business if you need any type of alterations done. read more

This is the place to go to get all your alterations done!! I've been to so many alteration shops throughout the island and this is the best! DJ (the tailor) is the sweetest. He works out of his home, which is very welcoming. DJ answers all my questions and takes the time to explain things in detail. He's very professional and is so easy to talk to. I've been here several times over the years for small to large alterations. One was taking in the waist of a skirt that was far too large for me. It came out perfect. I also asked him for a rush work on shortening the shoulder straps of my dress and he was able to do it in a few hours! Life saver! I've had so many bad experiences with bad alterations and I'm so happy that I finally found someone I can take my clothes to. read more

We purchased a CK suit for our son to wear to his proms and it needed to be altered. We set up an appointment via text approximately 1 1/2 weeks before the event. The website has detailed information on location, pricing, and services provided which was helpful. We got sleeves shortened, pants hemmed, and other style-related fixes. Prices were reasonable and we knew ahead of time how much it would cost (no surprises or hidden fees). Suit was done on time. We were very pleased with the results. Thank you! read more

What can I say about DJ? Well I've known DJ for quite some time now and there is no alteration job that he can't tackle. He's done all types of tailoring work for me.

Sooooo...DJ is pretty effing' awesome! Thank you yelp folk for helping me find him. I ordered a dress online for my cousin's wedding and it got in about two weeks ago. But because I'm a major procrastinator, I pretty much waited til down to the wire to look into alterations for it because it was longer than I wanted it to be. It's a tulle dress with layers so it was kinda grandma looking when I put it on. I texted DJ and asked him if I could see him and he took me in. We did my fitting on Tuesday. I let him know that I would need my dress by 11am Saturday. I get a text the next day saying it's ready. Needless to say I was impressed. He did a great job and he was able to make my dress look more modern which is exactly what I wanted it to be in the first place. His prices are great and I love that if you pay with a card, proceeds go to a charity!! I will definitely be bringing in more things for DJ to alter for me. He's fun to talk to and his demeanor puts you at ease. Thank you DJ!!!! read more

Had to have a pair of pants hemmed and a shirt taken in. DJ was very quick in sewing everything for me. He was very professional during his consultation and even made recommendations about what would make my clothes better fitted for my body. He was also accommodating to last minute requests. I will definitely go back to him in the future. Thanks DJ! read more

As a hula dancer there can be so many situations & problems when it comes to costumes! I'm so glad that I was able to meet DJ! He's very knowledgeable and you can tell he puts in a lot of effort into what he does! His work, is AMAZING! I knew DJ for a while now, and he's worked on so many of our halau projects, and I don't know how he does it? But it always comes out perfect! When it comes to time, I would say DJ is very flexible! I remember running to him for a last minute favor, asking if he could adjust the lengths of my slacks, and he was able to return it to me the next day, with no problem! I can always rely on DJ when it comes to adjustments! I wouldn't want to trust anyone else! I'm so thankful and grateful to finally meet someone who understands my needs!! read more

I needed to get some pants hemmed by Saturday for a show and saw him on a Wednesday. He was very polite and friendly! The hem was done perfectly and at the right length. The show went without a hitch (aka I never trip) and I am very glad to have seen him for the alteration. Will definitely recommend others to him in the future. read more

Definitely going back to him whenever I need anything altered. He is also a very patient and nice person to work with and talk to! :-) would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!! read more

DJ was amazing!!! Bought a dress for my boyfriend's sister's wedding and didn't realize it was way too long even with high heels. Took it to DJ to get it altered and shortened. Dropped the dress off on a Tuesday and he texted me to let me know that it was already completed 2 days later. Very quick, quality work and for a fair price! 10/10 recommended! read more

I am impressed with his knowledge and workmanship. His prices are very reasonable and his turnaround time is fast. He also took time to give advice on altering an elderly relative's clothing, even though it meant not getting our business. He is cordial and friendly and puts me at ease with his hospitality. read more
