You don't need a reservation, she takes walk-ins but if there's someone there already you might have to wait a couple minutes. You can call ahead if you want, but don't need to. Very fair pricing (in my opinion, not expensive at all). She hemmed two dresses for me for my elopement and was fast and professional, and did very quality work. Also, as a plus, she's just a really nice lady. Note: it's my understanding that she DOES NOT usually do wedding dresses or gowns. She only did mine because they are very simple and don't have layers or anything fancy. I'm eloping so my dresses are honestly more like regular dresses just in white. read more

Sook was sooooo amazing! I brought a dress in for a quick alteration by my chest area. She asked me how fast I needed it done I said in 4 days and she did it in 5 mins !! Service was amazing and quality was so good and so speedy! I would highly recommend going here! It is in a strip mall between excellent motor group and 808 center on the 2nd floor with plenty of parking! I will be coming back for all my alterations!!!! read more

I've been impressed with Sook Hi's work for over a decade. She always goes the extra mile. Once, I took my husband and his suit in for alterations. She could have altered the suit as requested but she immediately told us that we should buy a new one in a more current style. Lol! Another time I didn't pick up an item on the day it was ready and she was closing early the next day. She called and left messages and stayed an extra hour so I could have my dress for my event. Everything is always done with the utmost care and quality and always on time. Her location is convenient and there's always parking during the day. Love her! read more

This Korean woman had a terrible attitude. Not only was the alteration of her clothes poorly done, but she was also extremely rude!

Bruhh 10/10 would recommend this place! My coworker found this place last minute for me because I needed my wedding guest dress ASAP hemmed!! I called early in the morning (she opens early because she says she gets lots of rush orders) and was able to get my dress taken. When I saw her in person, she said she'll text me to know when it's ready. I only waited 2 hours and my dress was perfect! I would highly recommend her. She is great! :) read more

Beautiful work! Had to get some items hemmed and Sook Hi did an amazingly quick job of it. She's a bit pricier than i had anticipated but it was totally worth it. Mahalo Sook Hi! read more

My whole family went to sook hi's for alterations for my wedding, which included two suit alterations, one dress hem, and an aloha shirt tailoring. The shop is cozy and no frills, but so conveniently located and has incredibly fast turnover. All of our pieces were finished within 2 weeks (mind you, her studio is packed with like-pieces) and finished within excellent quality. Her prices are incredibly fair, and she even hemmed a pair of dress pants for free while she waited for my brother to try on his suit jacket. Will definitely be back for all of our alteration needs! read more

After failing at what I thought would be a simple alteration that I could do myself, I took my dress to Suki. She was very sweet and tried to explain to me how I could still do it myself, but I decided to leave it to her. She altered my dress quickly and perfectly. The price was great too. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any future alterations here. read more

Hemmed 2 jeans that I needed for travel. Walked in on a Saturday and she said no problem. It would take a couple of days, so we left and went shopping out in Kahala. Got a text 2 hours later saying it was done. Awesome service and it fit perfectly. Will be back for future alterations read more

Needed length shortened on 3 denim jeans. Took them in around 10:00am, "Suki" called me a few hours later that same day letting me know they were ready for pickup! They were perfect! Suki is very pleasant, seems to have great work ethics and an excellent & talented seamstress read more

Wow this lady here is so awesome. I will always come here and recommend you do too. She fixed the rip in my pants so quick. I am so so happy she made my day. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much. read more

Just needed some slacks hemmed and a button hole/added button on some shorts. Well done. Very easy to park and the nicest lady. My stuff wasn't to complicated so I left a star off cause I got no idea about fancy stuff. read more

I'm not sure what average pricing is so I cannot comment on that. I was pleased with how easy it was to get my pants hemmed. Was ready for pick up the next day and looked great! read more

Did last min alterations. Responded very quick. Price was on the higher end but the dress fit was how I wanted it. Thank you!

Sook Hi's Alteration isn't just a tailoring service; it's craftsmanship at its finest. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately set the tone for a great experience. I brought in a few pieces for adjustment that needed a better fit, and I left genuinely impressed. Sook Hi doesn't just alter clothes--she transforms them. It's like she sees your clothing as a raw form of expression and uses her needle like a brush on canvas. Every stitch is thoughtful, every hem intentional. The precision of the work, the quick turnaround, and the way she ensures everything fits just right speaks volumes about her experience and care. It's rare to find someone who combines technical skill with such genuine customer service. Would absolutely return. If you want your clothes to not just fit, but flatter, and you're looking for someone who treats tailoring like an art, Sook Hi's Alteration is the place to go. read more

Such a sweet, hardworking woman. She is very skillful in what she does and I appreciate her so much. I won't go to any other person for alterations. read more

She is so fast! Both times that I've had pants hemmed by her have been faster than what she said it would take! I was pleasantly surprised! The quality of her work is top notch too! read more

I can't recommend Sook Hi's Alterations enough! Sook Hi is incredibly sweet and runs this small business all by herself. I recently needed the length of a bridesmaid dress hemmed, and she finished it in just one hour! She texted me to pick it up, and I was blown away by her speed and the quality of her work. One thing to note is that her hours can fluctuate since she's the only person running the business. Sometimes she stays late, and other times she leaves early, so I'd recommend calling ahead to make sure she's there. Her prices vary depending on the type of alteration, amount of fabric and difficulty but my friend compared her prices to another local spot for a dress alteration and Sook Hi's was more reasonably priced. Despite this, I will be taking all my future alterations to her! read more

Sook Hi's Alteration - Outside Sook Hi's on the second floor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My cousin told me about Sook Hi's being the best seamstress. I couldn't believe she was so close to me and I had no idea. She is really talented and professional. I am so impressed with her work. She saved my son's favorite baby blanket and fixed my daughter's romper that didn't have an easy fix. So happy to have found her. Hopefully we don't have too many more items that need her expertise but happy to know where to go now! read more

I had a hole in the pocket of my favorite sweatpants. I don't know how to sew, so I brought them in for repair. She was friendly and welcoming, and helped me right away. She said it was good timing because she already had black thread in her machine. She finished the repair in less than a minute -- which I really appreciated. She said there was no charge, but I paid her anyway. I'll definitely be back and would recommend her to others. read more

Sook Hi really does an amazing job. She was able to take my items for hemming and I mentioned I was hoping it would be ready for an event. She told me to wait and had my alterations done in a few minutes while I was there. Talk about excellent customer service. Her prices are reasonable, parking is easy. read more

I needed two pairs of pants to be hemmed. It took less than a day. So was quick, nice, and helpful. FYI: bring cash.

Was nervous to get some things altered since it was my first time doing so but I had a dress, shorts, and a skirt that all needed shortening so I saw Suki's place on Google and decided to go to her for my alternation needs. There's a small, free parking lot in front of the building where her store is located that you can park in. Her store is on the second floor on the left. The process was super simple and Suki was super nice to work with. You go in and she asks what you have. Then you try each item on for her and show her what you want done and she pins it all up super quickly. Then she writes down the cost of everything and you pay upfront and she lets you know how long it'll take for all the items to get done. My shorts and skirt were pretty simple alterations and cost around $25 each. I had one item that was a little more work because the frilly hem had to be specially preserved and taken up and the back area had to be taken in. That special hem cost around $75 and it was $25 for taking in the back. If you pay with card there's an extra fee so if you want to avoid the fee you can just use cash. For all three items it took just a week and they were all done right on time! When your items are done Suki will text you and let you know that you can come in to get them. All of my alterations turned out perfectly and as expected! I will definitely be back for any future alterations! read more

1. Did not replicate jean's seam. 2. Lied saying I didn't request the scraps. 3. Charged for jeans not completed but said it wasn't her work. read more

Excellent fast tailoring. In and out the same day. Plenty free parking and great service

Soon Hi is the best! Does an incredible job, reasonably priced, and so fast! Just awesome

Sook Hi nor only does awesome alterations, she gives recommendations and amazing fashion tips.

Suki, the sole proprietor and tailor at Sook Hi's alteration, is a gem. She is competent, honest, helpful, responsive, professional, and cordial. She is honest in advising you when you do not need to alter part of a garment. She is helpful when you are undecided about what looks better and suggests an alteration for your consideration (with no pressure). She is responsive when you ask her if she could rush one part of the work and she tries to accommodate your request. I highly recommend her as your tailor. January 8 and 10 were my first experience with her. On the 8th, I brought her a navy blazer for possible shortening of the sleeve length and a new black blazer of the same style for finishing the cuffs; a pair of dress pants for letting out the waist and hips; and 7 casual pants for shortening of the legs. Since she was about to leave for a vacation starting January 11, she asked if I could wait until her return for her to complete the work. I asked her if she could sew on the buttons to finish the cuffs of the new black blazer, whose sleeve length she advised me was perfect, and leave the rest until her return. She agreed and said she would have the blazer ready on the 10th. I was uncomfortable with the navy blazer's sleeve length but wasn't sure what I should do. Using pins, she proposed shortening the sleeve by a certain amount. The proposed length looked much better and I welcomed her suggestion. The dress pants were too tight around the waist and hips. She advised me that they could be let out 1" (at most). The casual pants, all of the same style, were sold at a standard length, requiring the buyer to finish the hem with the shoes to be worn. She suggested an appropriate length. When I returned on the 10th to pick up the black blazer, to my surprise, she had completed the work on all 10 garments, despite my desire to spare her the rush before her vacation. That is responsive and more. It turns out that what she recommended regarding the navy blazer's sleeve length made the sleeve the same length as the new black blazer's and each sleeve now extends to the heel of my palm (the maximum appropriate sleeve length per Proper Cloth). Perfect. The dress slacks are now comfortable to wear and the 7 casual pants' hemlines are appropriate with the stitching 1" above the hemline as requested. Her professionalism and cordiality make her someone with whom it is easy to work. Having never met her before the 8th, she immediately put me at ease and made me comfortable in entrusting my blazers to her care. Having not used a tailor in decades, I cannot speak to the benefit-to-cost ratio of her work compared to other tailors'. Her prices seem reasonable to me--$20 to finish the hem of each pair of casual pants, $30 to sew four buttons on each sleeve of the new black blazer (an expensive Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Italian-made, wool blazer), $70 to shorten the length of and move the four buttons on the navy blazer (of the same brand, style, etc. as the black), and $30 to adjust the waist and hips of the dress slacks. Suki works extremely long days. She is blessed with an overabundance of work because of the conscientiousness she brings to her work and the many customers whom she has satisfied by it. I am among them and shall give her more garments to alter after she returns. read more

Sook HI's amazing! Did my wedding suit alterations for me and my groomsmen and they fit amazing. She is a true master of quality. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Just plan ahead because she is so popular. IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE SHE IS THE BEST!!! QUALITY TAKES TIME! read more

This is the best service we have ever had. She is worth every penny . We paid her most double what she charged us.

ONE & ONLY who opens at 7am with the early birds I called requesting for a RUSH hem/ruffle gathering needed by 12pm today She asked what type of material initially she said wouldn't be enough time because she was currently doing a rush walk-in & was fully booked. I called back minutes later and she allowed me to bring it in to have a look & got it done in less than 15min!!!! COMPLETED BY 8:15am Price at the time for me priceless I owe her BIG TIME! She came through and an instant weight was lifted off my shoulders. My daughter was able to have her dress in time for her May Day Performance. WHEW Save this for your next Alteration Thank you Aunty Appreciate you! read more

Sook Hi's Alteration - Daughter dancing with the blue polyester/ruffle & a little flare maxi skirt May Day 2025 - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

She was very helpful and honest...will definitely come back in the future. Thanks for your help

Sook is absolutely amazing--I can't say enough good things about her! She is incredibly hardworking and always does an outstanding job. I first brought her an Indian dress with a tight deadline, and she hemmed it beautifully, making it fit me like a glove! Since then, she's worked on so many of my clothes--skirts, yoga pants, dresses that needed adjustments in the cleavage area, elastic band fixes, even ripped camping pants. No matter what I bring her, she always finds a way to make it perfect. I completely trust her work, and I feel so lucky to have found her. If you need any alterations, Sook is truly a gem! read more

Amazing!! She was extremely talented and fixed my daughter's dress when I entered within 5 minutes she was done! I highly recommend this place! read more

Sook Hi's is absolutely hands down the best! We brought in our daughter's new white coat that she brought with her during her short visit from Los Angeles. We were thinking that our daughter could get fitted while she was in town and we could mail it back to her at her Los Angeles home once the alteration was completed! Sook Hi surprised us by not only helping with the fitting, but she also completed the alteration for us so that our daughter could take her white coat back with her, saving me time and postage of having to mail it back to her. Sook Hi has a heart of gold! She has been helping our family with alterations for years. She is very diligent and hardworking! She takes pride in what she does and is true to her word. My husband also has high regards for her as well. We highly recommend Sook Hi!!! read more

I needed to get my bridesmaid's dress hemmed for a wedding I was in on Oahu, and I found Sook Hi's through Yelp. I called first to see when i could drop it off and I'm glad I did because she was closing early the day I called (and she was heading out of town for a trip that weekend). After confirming with Suki, I stopped by her shop the next day and tried the dress on while she added some pins to the hem. She also helped me figure out how to tie the straps on the dress in a more flattering way. I left, expecting the dress to be done the next day, but to my surprise I received a text an hour later saying my dress was ready! I was still in the area so i was able to swing by and pick up the dress the same day: Amazing! The fee was quite reasonable considering the lightning fast turnaround and the double layers in the skirt of the dress. The length turned out perfectly, not too short and not too long. Thank you, Suki! read more

I needed my pants hemmed at the last minute for a holiday function and they were done the same day..super impressed with this place!
