I went to this tailor for the first time on June 29, when I brought in six pairs of men's chino…read moretrousers. I needed the waists altered. The proprietor and his teenage son were there. Both were pleasant with me. Since my request was pretty basic, the tailor didn't have any problem with accommodating me, complete with promising a fairly quick turnaround, namely the following Monday, July 6. When I retrieved my items, they were folded neatly and placed in the shopping bag I used to bring them in. More importantly, when I tried my pants, they were perfectly tailored. Couldn't be happier with the quality of the job done. So, why the one-star deduction? It has to do with when I picked up my order on July 8. I had to wait a couple of extra days because when I arrived on July 6, I found a hastily written sign taped to the inside of the front door saying that the shop would be closed until 7/7. Needless to say, the lights were out. A bit disconcerting, to say the least. I tried calling, in addition to going back again the next day, all to no avail. Fortunately, when I returned again on the 8th, everything was back to normal. The son greeted me, then found my order. The tailor, in turn, came out to say hello. Like before, both were quite pleasant with me. Plus, I received a small discount. I guess, as they say, all's well that ends well.

I went here because years ago the seamstress that was working there did a great job on alterations. Since then this establishment has been taken on by new ownership or the owner lost the seamstress they had. I went here on the 16th of April with three items that needed alterations. As I was heading to the store, there was a man smoking outside who gave me a bit of the side-eye. I wasn't sure why but I walked right on in with the hopes of seeing the lady who did alterations for me before. Once I got in, that same man followed me into the store and asked me how he can help me. I didn't sense much of a customer service attitude but it is what it is. I went over the clothing that needed adjustments. One was a skirt that needed the inside lining hemmed and side stitched, a pair of pants that needed to be hemmed, and a fancy blouse that needed its neckline opened up wider and sleeves tightened a bit. While looking over the blouse, the owner, Ahmed, immediately pulled off a beading on the neckline stating that the beads were glued on and I would lose the beading if he adjusted the neckline. I asked him why he pulled it off and whether he would be glueing it back on. Seriously, who does this? He could have easily just explained that the beading is glued on. Then I gave him a sample blouse to use as reference for the neckline. He immediately showed me a much lower neckline because he was measuring the reference blouse from the waist up rather than from the shoulders down. I was concerned but figured with the positive reviews he had that he knew what he was doing. I corrected him and said the measurements should be made from the shoulders down, not from the waist up of the other garment. He then said it would take over a month to get all this done and quoted me $125 for the three items! This is when I should have left. Honestly, I was a bit confused as to whether this person was the actual seamstress or just someone working the front desk. I decided to still go for it. I told him I needed it sooner because I was leaving the state for a wedding and needed these items. He then gave me a pickup date of 5/9. So the seamstress had from 4/16 - 5/9. Still three weeks for completion. 5/9, Saturday, gets here and my husband accompanied me for pickup because he knew I was a bit nervous on how the blouse would turn out. We got there a little after 11 a.m. and the child manning the front of the store could not find my items. He went to the back to talk to his dad. The owner then comes out and immediately addresses my husband and doesn't even acknowledge me. He starts off with "My brother...I'm not done. I need more time." He was so nice to my husband. Totally different from my experience on 4/16. My husband asked if it would be done by the end of the day and the owner wasn't confident that it would be. Then my husband asked if Monday would be okay for pickup to which the owner agreed with and thanked my husband. Monday gets here and I call at 12 to ask if the items are ready for pick-up since it would take me 30 minutes to get there. Owner states that the skirt and pants are done but he hasn't started on the blouse. At this point, I told him to forget it. There's no way he would be done altering this intricate of a blouse on this same day. I told him that I would just take the blouse back in its original state because I have to leave in a couple days for the wedding. The next day I go to pick up the items and he tells me to check out the pants and the skirt. The pants were fine. The skirt lining was hemmed but there was still a gaping hole going down the side! When I pointed this out, the owner chuckled it off, apologized, and went to the back to fix it right away. Then he went on to gaslight me as to why I chose to not have him fix the blouse because he was just waiting to ask me some questions on the alterations before he started working on it. Mind you, I called HIM for an update - he never called me with questions. He then said that he was there working till 6:30 on Saturday because a man came in and asked for help with his pants for work so he prioritized the pants and ended up staying past his normal 5 pm end time. Why is this my concern? If you didn't have the skillset to fix the blouse, just say it. I could have went somewhere else instead of waiting close to a month to find out it wasn't even touched. Hire someone for help if you can't handle the number of customers coming to you for support. Now I can't even wear this outfit for my nephew's wedding because of the lack of integrity and work ethic from "Seams to Be.." Seams to be a let down! If you are thinking about going here, save your money, time, and frustrations and go somewhere else.

Coming from the City, I was spoiled having really great cleaners & alteration spots right on the…read morecorner in my neighborhood, and I haven't had luck in the past out here finding good replacements. Until now. This is exactly what I have been looking for, and I'm so glad I found a spot for all future needs. I needed a pair of jeans patched (big split rip & hole in the butt area and patches on the jeans coming unglued). I brought them in and went over the pair with the tailor & she said she could fix it for me & they would be ready in a week. Went to pick them up today & I was blown away. Couldn't even really recognize how torn they were on both sides of the main seam and they stitched and glued the patch back. All for only $30! The shop is small but that's what you want. A spot dedicated to just alterations sticking to what they are good at. Knowing they could handle the jeans, I know they will be great with any alterations I may need (dresses, etc.), and I can update when I do. The two women are super friendly and very good at their work! So glad I found my spot, and will definitely be sharing with any friends & family in the area. Support local!

I needed tailoring this summer for a black-tie formal bridesmaid dress and my immediate thought was to go to Kim's, despite the fairly long drive 1-way from Tempe. Due to the drive, I called ahead to confirm they were open (it was a random Friday afternoon). The gals running the shop are super nice and do great work! I needed ~3inches taken up on the dress for 3 layers which ended up being way more expensive than I thought, but Kim told me it's due to the layers. Fair enough. She quoted 2 weeks turnaround and it was indeed ready at the day quoted. I think if you don't give them a hard deadline, it may take longer than you think. So if there is a specific event/date you need something, make it abundantly clear.
