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

They did. A Great job and it was also reasonably priced. Will go again when I (or my kiddos) need clothes tailored

Excellent service and well-priced! I brought in two pairs of pants to be hemmed and they were finished in two days. The woman working there was so kind and helpful! She ensured the pants were exactly as I wanted them. Highly recommend coming here for alterations!! read more

The nicest people work here! Really quick, amazing prices, excellent job. Would recommend to anyone.

I am taking the time to write this review because I believe it is important for other customers to know about my experience. I'm very disappointed because I had been a loyal customer of this business for over three years, bringing in pants and other clothing for alterations. Until now, I had always trusted their work and never had any concerns. Unfortunately, my most recent experience completely changed my opinion. There was a misunderstanding about the alterations I requested, and I was charged for work that I never asked to have done. When I explained the mistake and requested the alterations I originally wanted, I was charged a second time. I politely asked if the amount I had already paid for the unwanted work could be applied toward the correct alterations, but Karen refused. My recommendation to future customers is to carefully review both your receipt and the requested alterations before leaving the shop to ensure everything is accurate. As a long-time customer, I expected better customer service and a willingness to resolve an honest misunderstanding. Instead, I ended up paying twice because of a miscommunication that could have been handled much more fairly. Karen also charged me a credit card processing fee, even though the mistake originated from her misunderstanding of my request. Paying for quality work has never been an issue for me. What disappointed me most was the lack of accountability, the unwillingness to find a reasonable solution, and the feeling that retaining a loyal customer simply didn't matter. It's unfortunate to lose confidence in a business I had supported for so long. I hope they take situations like this as an opportunity to improve their customer service and how they handle honest mistakes, especially when they involve long-time customers. read more

Love this place! I've had multiple bridesmaid dresses tailored by Simple to Perfect Studio and they've done such a good job! After the tailoring, both dresses have fit just right on the first try, just like they did during the initial pinning. Their turnaround time is very fast (usually only a few days) and they make the whole process quick and easy! Even though I don't live close, it's worth the drive for me. 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

I brought in three pairs of jeans to have them shortened with the original hems reattached, along with two scarves that I wanted narrowed. For the scarves, I specifically asked that the new hem be sewn to match the existing hem exactly. I asked her this three separate times before leaving them with her, and each time she assured me she could do it. When I returned to pick everything up, the work was not what I had requested. Two of the three pairs of jeans were supposed to be tailored to the exact same length, but only one was. The other pair was left about half an inch longer despite my very specific instructions that they match. The third pair was also longer than I had requested. The scarves were even more disappointing. Instead of recreating the existing hem, she folded the fabric over much more than necessary and sewed a hem that was significantly thicker than the original. It looked completely different from the opposite side, despite my repeatedly emphasizing that I wanted the hems to match exactly. What bothered me most was not the mistakes themselves, but how she handled them. I asked her to shorten the longer pair of jeans by the additional half inch it should have been shortened in the first place so it would match the other pair. Rather than correcting her own mistake, she told me she would charge me again. Likewise, when I pointed out that the scarf hems did not match as promised, she refused to redo them without additional payment. She charged me $20 per pair of jeans for original hem reattachment. I now understand why her prices are lower than many other tailors--the workmanship reflects it. Everyone makes mistakes. What I cannot recommend is a business that promises it can perform a service, fails to deliver what was agreed upon, and then expects the customer to pay a second time to correct its own work. I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere to a tailor who stands behind their work and treats customers honestly. I also recommend paying by credit card rather than cash whenever possible so you have some protection if you encounter a similar situation. I believe she felt comfortable refusing to make things right because I had paid in cash. 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

I go here for all of my clothing alterations for bathing suits, dresses, pants, tops and skirts. She's very skilled and able to complete alterations within even a couple of days to a week. Her prices are great and quality is superb! read more

Amazing personnel , best value in all Orange County, i found them on redit, and im so glad i found them, i drive from Ladera Ranch just because they are the best 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

Simple To Perfect Studio - Perfect hem! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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

They're fantastic. They knew which length would be best for me when I didn't have a clue, and the turnaround was great since I had an emergency deadline. Professional and excellent service. 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

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

No response was given to my request for a quote. I provided pictures and a description of the alternations

Great price!! My sequin jumpsuit was too long. I'm 5'4 and needed about 2-3 inches hemmed. Perfect job! 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 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

Oh my goodness I would give 10 stars if I could!!! Karen was so wonderful, amazing service. My dresses were definitely serviced with love...she took in a bridesmaid dress and an evening gown for me and both fit like a glove now! The craftsmanship is a 10/10 and amazing price for high quality work. I will definitely be back. So insanely grateful for such a great job!! 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

Great prices great turnover times I have given them a ton of my clothes to hem and alter and they have always done a fantastic job.

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

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

First time going here, it's located next to the dentistry and it's closer to 17th street. Did a walk in and asked 4 pairs of pants to be hemmed. The lady there was sweet and patient, and told me that it would be ready in 2 days. They accept cash or credit card. The pants came back great and the stitches were phenomenal! I would totally go here again for an alteration. 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

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 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 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

Needed two pairs of pants shortened and Karen at Simple to Perfect couldn't have been more helpful. Great work and even better prices.

I haven't used them but the person who contacted me was very nice & the quoted price was reasonable. I found a closer place which I shall report on afterwards. Based on their response I might use them in the future. read more

After several disappointing interactions with local tailors, from inflated pricing to misrepresentation, simple to perfect is a breath if fresh air. Professional, fast, excellent pricing and quality work. I highly recommend them!!! 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

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

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

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
