I went in to get my bridesmaid dress altered, and it turned out perfect! When I came to pick it up and try it on, I realized it was still a bit long, but Karen was very kind and willing to make it shorter without any additional charges. The turnaround was a couple days, which I found to be very quick for the flawless work that was done. Even if this location is farther than other alteration studios, I am willing to make the drive for the amazing service and value it offers. Thank you, Karen! read more

100/10 stars! Simple To Perfect Studio consistently provides excellent customer service, prices, quick turn around time, and craftsmanship! All of the pants I have taken in to be altered/hemmed are absolutely perfect! Highly highly recommend (I will say the yellow mannequin in the window never fails to startle me LOL) read more

I've been coming here for a few years now with all my alteration needs. As a petite girl it is hard to find clothing off the rack that fits me and suits my height. I've gotten dresses, jeans, and pants altered here to fit me exactly the way I want. I usually give 1-2 weeks of time if I need a certain item finished before an event and it's always ready for me to pick up! read more

They did an amazing job taking in a dress, it had a floral pattern so I was worried it would look wrong since it needed to be taken in so much. But was perfect! read more

Karen is the nicest! Easy to work with. Have an actual dressing room. Exceptional prices, good work and quick turn around. I've only had hems done, so I can only comment on that. They even try to use the same color thread. I've had places that use the closest and you can see it. I'll be back with other items and update my review. read more

Love this shop! They're so professional, quick, and cost efficient. Always had great luck and only wish I lived closer to stop in more

Such a great tailor! She had a quick turnaround and did an amazing job altering both a skirt and dress of mine that I plan to wear to my upcoming Hawaii trip. I am petite and often get bummed that many clothing do not fit me. I definitely plan to come here for future altering! Everything fit perfectly and the process was easy from start to finish. Very reasonable and affordable pricing as well. Highly recommend! read more

Found my new tailor. I'm grateful for Karen's expertise, thoroughness, and speed. My pants were hemmed to desired length, my sweaters' holes mended and reinforced. She also checked to make sure there were no other holes I had missed! I was thankful for this gesture. I truly appreciated Karen's input and receptiveness to my thoughts. You can park in the lot with the dentist, and her shop is just around the corner. Can't miss it! read more

Thanks (again) to Yelp for helping me find an alterations shop that meets my needs: good workmanship, reasonable cost (greatly appreciated!), completed in an acceptable period, with friendly and approachable customer service. I immediately liked Karen from the start; her warmth, friendliness, approachability, ease in communicating with her, and her listening to my alteration goals, quickly put me at ease. After changing into the garment, Karen quickly-and-confidently put pins in place; and I'm off until pick-up time. She is clearly knowledgeable. I've been pleased with her work, to date: taking in the waist, shortening a hem, and altering the style of dresses. As others have reported, I've parked at the Auto Zone, right across the street -- a simple crosswalk away; however, have since learned that (despite the signs) we can park in the parking lot on the side as it's shared with the dental office! Fabulous find! read more

SERVICE REQUESTED. I needed both sleeves on a new button down shirt altered to a shorter length. The staff at Simple to Perfect Studio measured the shirt sleeves and pinned the sleeves to their desired length. The studio staff was very attentive, polite, friendly and experienced. The shirt was ready for pick-up in three days. Thank you to Karen for great customer service! QUALITY. The sleeves of the shirt were nicely altered and the shirt looks great. The shirt was returned to me on a new clothes hangar which was wrapped in clear plastic wrap to keep the shirt clean. Excellent quaility and great workmanship! VALUE. The studio staff collected payment in advance for the shirt sleeve alterations. I thought the price for the shirt sleeve alterations ($10.00 by credit card) was very reasonable. LOCATION OF THE STUDIO. Simple to Perfect Studio is located in a small one-story building on the corner of West 17th Street and North Ross Street. You can park your car across the street in the shopping center. However, I decided to park my car in the empty parking lot next to the dental office and walked to the front door of Simple to Perfect without any problems. After you press the Ring button on the front door of the studio, the staff will open the front door for you to enter the studio. The interior of the studio is very clean and tidy, with several private changing rooms for you to use when trying on your clothes. read more

The woman working there was very helpful in getting my three suits tailored for a very affordable price. I didn't know the first thing about what was needed to tailor a suit (I didn't even wear a proper shirt or shoes!), yet she helped me through the process and gave me some solid looking suits. Highly recommend! read more

What a sigh of relief to find this place! I was in need to alter an outfit for NYE couple days before. Found Simple to Perfect and decided to give it a shot. They were not only able to have it ready in time, but Karen also went over and beyond! My top had a flower which was attached, and fell out. Karen sewed the flower back on for me and also altered the top to have it fit better, and added a hook on the back to secure the hold. She explained that the flower had to be sewn in a way that I could still move around. It was simply perfect! I also took a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear because they were too long. She altered them to a perfect length! The best part is that the alterations are so affordable, and Karen is so kind and trustworthy. They are open 7 days a week. Truly a simple to perfect studio! read more

I have nothing but only the best thing to say about this business. I went here for the first time and my experience exceeded my expectation. Super fast turn around time and great prices! I went in on a Saturday and came back on Sunday since I had a trench coat alteration that was very involved and needed more time than same day service. This is still incredibly turnaround time as my previous tailor would take a week for a simple pant hemming , leave alone trying to do complex alteration. Work was perfect and it is with the drive from Long Beach for me read more

I actually found this place by accident -- I had started a project on Yelp and unknowingly messaged a bunch of businesses. This happened to be the one I ended up going with, and I'm so glad I did! I brought in a bridesmaid dress for alterations. The shop shares a building with a dental office, and parking is super easy -- just off to the side. I dropped off the dress on a Monday and it was ready by Thursday. Super fast turnaround! The tailoring was perfect -- she hemmed it to just the right length and even tightened a loose button in the back. She was extremely nice and professional throughout the whole process, which made the experience even better, especially since this was my first time ever getting alterations done. The price was very affordable, especially for the quality of work. I'll definitely be coming back here for future alterations. read more

Had a great experience all the staff were super friendly and helpful. The prices were fair as well. I got a wedding guest dress alter and they did a great job and even steamed it for me. Moving forward I am Ditching original hems and, coming here for all of my alteration needs. read more

This place is a gem! Was hard to find at first because it's a small shop located across from Autozone next to a dentist office. There is plenty of parking either next to the dental office or in front of auto zone (you'll just need to walk across the street). Fitting was quick. There is a separate room to change. I had 3 jeans that were too long for me that needed to be hemmed. There are two options: regular or original. The way I understood it was for the 'original', the bottom would be cut and brought up higher to my chosen length. This is good for people who have some sort of design on the bottom that they want to keep. For 'regular', the pants would be hemmed at the desired length but the bottom would be lost. 'Original' would be about $10. 'Regular' would be $4.50. I went with 'regular' for all three jeans and I also asked if she could fix a hole in one of my tops. That was $4. Total was $17.50 but it was rounded up to $18 because I was paying with card. You pay up front and pick up later. I dropped mine off on Sat. I received a text that it was ready for pick up by Monday. The text includes the unique number identifier you will need when picking up. Overall I am very happy with the results. My jeans fit nicely and I can't even see where the hole was in the sweater. For the purpose of the review, I did ask how much it would be or if any discounts would be applicable if I needed to get the same jeans fixed again. I was told there would be no discounts since the price is already very cheap compared to other tailors and I agree! I'm happy with the results anyways so I won't be bringing it back. Will definitely be back if I need more clothes to be tailored! read more

Excellent and quick. Worth the drive. I bought some jeans and wanted them hemmed quickly. They hemmed it in 5 minutes and did it perfectly. The price was AMAZING. Plenty of parking. Right next door to a dentist office. read more

The people here are very nice! I paid a little more than $30 to get a waist adjustment on these denim pants that I bought that were way too tight. And they even special ordered material that would blend in better with the existing black denim material. It literally looks like it wasn't worked on. The added material looks like it was part of the design and is not noticeable at all! read more

Karen was so great to work with for tapering a bunch of pants and jeans. Her attention to detail on each pair was impressive, and I really appreciated the fact she offered to make any future adjustments free of charge (she nailed it the first time so I don't plan to take her up on this). She was also able to taper a pair of pants I've had other tailors tell me weren't possible to taper, which was such a pleasant surprise. Not only did she do a great job on everything, but she also did it in record time, and for a very reasonable price. I was so pleased with Karen's work that I've brought her some other pieces to tailor now, and I can't wait to see how they turn out. I've been on the hunt for a go-to tailor, and I can confidently say the search is over! I can't recommend Karen enough, she's amazing. read more

I did a walk-in for getting a pair of pants hemmed a few inches. Was seen super fast. They told me my pants would be done in a few minutes if I wanted to wait, which I did. Everything took about 10-15 minutes and cost $4.50! Pants came out nice and the service was great!! Will be back in the future :) read more

I had a really great experience at this location. I toon my dad in for alterations to a suit. We both felt immediately comfortable and happy with the service. The work was done really well and was a great value. I look forward to going back !! Thanks!! read more

I'm so glad I found this spot! I needed to get a pair of jeans hemmed but I've never had them done before from a tailor or alterations place so I did some research online for places around my area that provided quality service at an affordable price. Luckily, Simple to Perfect Studio ended up being exactly what I need. Karen took great care of me and walked me through the process. She had me try on my jeans, took the measurement for my adjustment, providing recommendations on where it should be hemmed, and took it in for alternating, all in under 15 minutes and at about $5-6. I was pleased with the service and the outcome and wear my new pair of jeans very often now! I asked Karen if they did alterations on other items I may be interested in fixing up and she was able to put my mind as ease for some of the items I never thought I was able to fit well. I will definitely be coming back in the future and recommend this to anyone looking for affordable, quick, but quality service for alterations! read more

One of the best things that came out of TikTok. There was literally no wait, fast turnaround service, and they don't actually cut the fabric in order to hem any pants. The price is very very fair and I'll be back with more of my clothing pieces! read more

I sent a request for quotes via Yelp, and this studio provided the best price and the quickest turnaround time. They have a super great deal right now $2.50 for pants and jeans hemming. Karen was very responsive as I texted more questions and was super friendly and flexible with our availability. My husband needed a pair of suit pants hemmed and I was so impressed that she was able to get him measured, get it hemmed, and have him try it on in about 10 minutes. In addition she did an amazing job of hemming. Most other places required 3 day turnaround and at a higher price. Thanks so much Karen! We will be back! read more

I ordered a ruffled maxi dress online in a larger size on purpose to fit one of my measurements but needed to have literally everywhere else taken in - waist, slit, length, the puffy sleeves, etc. Karen was very patient in hearing my request and turned around my dress in a week. She was able to accommodate adjustments after the try-on and turned that around in a day or two. Price was very fair as well. Would definitely bring anything that needs tailoring back here! Oh and I got so many compliments on the dress and fit! read more

Quality work. Fast service. I only had hems done. They were perfect. I will continue to take any of my other alterations in the future

Quality service for a fraction of a cost. This one is a hidden gem. Definitely recommended!

They have altered and fixed a few of my clothes and I've always been a happy customer. Been impressed by the quality of their work and very affordable prices. Definitely better than the Asian places I've tried in the past. read more

I came to Simple To Perfect Studio with some unique requests. My hubby and I have motorcycle gear/clothes that needed some intricate alterations/redesign. Karen was the one who helped us by listening to our requests and taking the time to measure and understand what we were trying to accomplish. Karen is friendly, personable and honest. She does not over promise and will be upfront of the limitations and caveats to the alterations. She spent time explaining to me of what to expect and checking in with me throughout the process if each part I was okay with. I trusted her and am glad I did! Her work is amazing and it came out better than I expected. My hubby was happy with his leather pants and I am happy with the two pieces I brought in. Because I wasn't very good at communicating the first time around and therefore, the redesign didn't fit quite well. Karen offered to redo my leather jacket to get it right. This goes to show that Simple to Perfect Studio stands by their work and will do everything they can to make your garment work. These three items were no easy feat. So, I feel that the price was very fair for the quality of work and the time it took for them to complete it. Another thing to note is that this place is open on the weekends! Not many alteration places are open both Saturdays and Sundays so I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for an alteration place. read more

Awesome experience. Very honest about what can be done and how it should be done. Fast and perfectly ironed.

I Chose the Business because of the positive reviews. I took 7 garments to this business to be made larger. Unfortunately, I trusted that the end result would be satisfactory. I took them home and hung them in my closet. I was not able to wear them right away due to a serious illness (heart issue). When I started wearing the pants I noticed that they were ill fitting and so were all the other garments. I went to "Make it fit". They agreed that the work was not professionally done. They re-sized the garments. The lady at "Make it fit" ask me who did this? The end result was that I had to pay twice instead of once. I had used "Make it fit" many times before and always took the garments home to try them on at home. Not once did I have to bring any garment back for a redo. My mistake was a very costly one. Live and learn! Don't change. Stick with what work even if the price is higher. My garments were more complicated. Each was lined. One skirt ended up with the lining re-attached inside out. Don't take fine garments to this business. Simple is the word. Don't take complicated wordrope there. They are not trained to do fine work. Christa read more

Came in to get a jacket tailored, and honestly karen delivered. Happy I found this place, best prices in town and highest quality in work. I will for sure come back for all my tailor needs. read more

I have gotten two formal dresses hemmed and altered here, and also got a formal dress fixed here (I burned a hole in it...). Karen is very nice, and makes recommendations for how to best hem/alter to your needs. Make sure to bring the shoes you want to wear so she can do the measurements accordingly. The work here is done so quickly and in a timely manner (she fixed the hole in my dress in the same day!) The prices are also reasonable. Highly recommend Simple to Perfect Studio! read more

Karen was working on Labor Day weekend though the shop wasn't open, and I wanted to get a hem done since my weekdays are typically very long and I get off work late. She allowed me to come in and offered to have me wait for the service which was beyond expedient! I wasn't in a rush so I told her I would return for the pants. They are still running their opening special and she mentioned it may go away this year but the hem pricing would still be set competitively, under $10. I'm a fan! Brought over two more pants for a hem. I'm a shortie so nothing ever fits at the right length for my pants. So glad I found this studio shop. They share parking lot with the dentist and their store signage is tiny and hidden. Just know it's in the same building corner block as the dentist. read more
