I was in dire need for my bridesmaid dress to get altered and Nordstrom's had a 10 day minimum timeframe on all items. So I searched Yelp and Sook Hi's had high ratings and I thought I'd give it a go. I called ahead of time to make sure it could get done within a week before I had to head to the mainland for the wedding. She said it would be fine, I came in around 4 PM on a Wednesday and we chose the latest date it needed to be done by (1 week). The bridesmaid dress needed to get hemmed and taken in and then another cocktail dress needed to get taken in. By Friday morning around 10 AM she texted me that my dresses were ready...so fast! The dresses were perfect. I'm in two more weddings this year and will definitely be bringing my dresses here for any alternations! 10/10 recommend Sook Hi's Alterations! Cash is recommended, but she takes card payments for over $100. Prices are comparable to others around the island. Parking is easy and free. read more

Suki is just awesome! For some reason I didn't read her hours correctly (my fault). I showed up a few hours after she closed, but she went out of her way to make sure I could get my dress since the shop was closed the following day (day of my event). Fantastic customer service that went above and beyond! I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Suki!!!! read more

Suki is one of THE sweetest people ever! I called around to a few different places to ace some pants shortened since they were just way too long, and Suki fit me in the same day. Not the not did she fit me in the same day, but she texted not even a few hours later to let me know that my pants were ready for pickup! My pants were EXACTLY how I wanted them and from now on ALL of my alterations will only come to this amazingly skilled woman. She is awwsome!!! read more

Suki is wonderful and does amazing work! Dropped off my dress in the morning, and it was ready by noon.

I am soo upset I was sent to Sook Hi alterations by the designer of my dress. When I went whomever was working the shop said they no longer alter wedding dresses and the owner said they were "busy" My wedding is in September of next year it is currently May. What is weird is that there were also Prom dresses being altered. What ever you do just dont go there. -10 Stars for Sure read more

I took my lace wedding dress to Sook to have it hemmed and add some bra cups. I was worried I would loose the gorgeous design that was at the bottom of the dress but some how magically she brought it up from a seam where the fitted part met the flowing part! I have no clue how she did it but it fell to the perfect length and I still have the pretty design. She is top notch at what she does that's for sure. Do not hesitate. And to top it off she is so sweet:) I'll have to add a picture later. read more

Wow just wow. Sook has magical hands! She was able to let out my wedding dress by 2inches and this was so important to me because I truly could not breathe in my wedding dress. David's Bridal was only willing to let out 1/2 inch and wanted to keep my dress for a full month, Sook only needed two weeks. I was having such a hard time losing weight and was stressing endlessly every time I would eat and work out. At one point I didn't want to eat anymore but Sook took away my worries. When I went back to pick up my dress and tried it on I cried tears of joy! So much stress was lifted off my shoulders. Not only did I felt listened to but cared for. Because of Sook I had the most amazing day on my wedding day. read more

She's the best and super fast! Her stitching is incredible and hemmed my jumpsuit to the perfect length! I'll definitely be coming back!

Would give this place zero stars if it was an option. Took my bridesmaids dress and a suit here for alterations. After the lady was done pinning the items, she informed me the dress would be $60 to hem since it was a "double layer dress." I told her I would think about it, get quotes from other places and call her if I wanted her to do the alterations on the dress. The suit she told me would cost $80 for a pant and sleeve hem. (I was in a rush to get the suit hemmed, so I told her to work on that item. I never did tell the lady to work on the dress.) A friend picked up the items for me when I received a text that they were ready. I was upset to find out that she had hemmed the dress, which I did not tell her to do. Which my friend reminded her of when he picked up the items. She apologized and said she would give us a discount of $20. Fast forward to when I actually had the opportunity to look at the alterations. The sewing on the dress is extremely crooked, the buttons on the suit are not lined up and are on top of one another. Not to mention, the buttons are sewed on the outside of the lining. DO NOT TAKE YOUR ITEMS HERE FOR ALTERATIONS. It is extremely overpriced for the poor workmanship they do. read more

Amazing! She finished within 20mins of me dropping it off & did such a fantastic job of hemming my pants! Definitely recommend to all friends and definitely coming back if I need a hem! read more

I turned to Yelp to find a seamstress near my workplace and my fellow Yelpers did not disappoint me. This shop is located on Sheridan Street across from Sam's Club and the building has its own parking lot. I hate having to look for street parking, so this made it even more convenient for me. There were a number of open spaces when I dropped off and picked up my items. I took in a shirt that needed a button sewn on, a pair of pants that needed a hem sewn back up, and two patches that needed to be sewn on my son's Boy Scout sash. I dropped them off on my lunch break and Suki texted me a couple of hours later to let me know that she was finished. Great service and reasonable prices! read more

had an alteration last month and it was a great experience!! I had a really long dress that needed to be altered by the end of July and it was altered very beautifully!! it took about 1.5-2 weeks to pick it up. if you looked at it, you wouldn't be able to tell it got altered! thank you!!! highly recommend going here for high quality alterations read more

I am so happy to have found Sook Hi's. Suki is so amazing. I needed to have my baseball players pants hemmed for their first game. She was so accommodating and finished them that same day. She saved our season. The quality of the hem was perfect and she even added the elastic at the bottom. For the quality of work and quick service the price was also unbeatable. I will be taking all of my alterations to Sook HI. Thank you again Sook Hi's! read more

Sook Hi is great! Took a pair of new slacks to get hemmed. She was really nice and completed the job the same day! Highly recommend!

I rarely use a tailor but Sook Hi's was great. They were quicker then they even said to me and their work was very professional. If I ever need a tailor again I would definitely go there. read more

Sook Hi IS A GOD SEND!!! She is currently hemming my sister's wedding dress after the place back home failed to complete the hem. My sister's wedding is tomorrow and I noticed last night that there were still pins in the dress. Upon further inspection the last place never completed hemming 8 inchesthe lining. It was left in 8 pins! Sook Hi took me at 8 am to help me all before my sister even notices. I'll add photos after the wedding so I don't ruin the surprise of the dress. read more

Being a true Yelper, I searched alterations for my mother of the groom long dress to alter the length. Of course, I procrastinated for weeks....but finally the weekend before I leave for the mainland, I popped out of bed early and headed over to 5-star Sook Hi's. Got there a little before 8am (she opens at 7am on Saturdays). She asked if I had an appointment, which I didn't but she said no problem and that today she has many appointments. So I recommend calling ahead of time to make an appointment out of courtesy. I put on my dress/sandals and she began to pin up the length. As she was doing that, she mentioned to me that she would alter the front length just a little shorter so I won't trip and the back a little long to flow nicely. Wow! I really like that idea. Once she had it all pinned up, she wrote up an invoice then asked for name and cell number so she can text me when it's ready. I like that!! I asked when would it be ready and she replied on Wednesday. Great! That's days before I leave so I was very pleased. I went about my day, did some small errands then went home. Just when I got home about an hour after I left her shop.....I got a text! You're alterations is ready!! WHAT??!!! I had to read the text a couple of times to make sure. LOL! So immediately went back to my car and headed to her shop. When I got there.... I said, that was incredibly fast! She's so sweet. Reminder....cash payments please. I tipped her for her excellent service, she hugged me and said God Bless You! I replied...God bless YOU for being so efficient! If you ever need alterations, go here. Its right on Sheridan street, parking lot available, and owner is an incredible person! My dress was altered very professionally as if it came that way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! read more

This is my go-to place when I need alterations or hemming. Suki is very nice, professional, and VERY prompt with her services. She has actually finished all my items earlier than expected (sometimes even the same day!). I took my wedding dress in for alterations (pre pandemic) during prom season. She seemed a bit busy, but still was able to turn things around in a very reasonable amount of time. I've taken a variety of items in to Suki (a dress for my engagement photos, my wedding dress, pants to be hemmed for work, mesh yoga leggings that needed to be hemmed) and all of them have turned out perfect. read more

Wow. Now I understand why Sook Hi's alteration is 5 stars... Suki is detailed, responsive and I got my evening gown I bought from Bloomingdales altered in less than 2 hours... who does that? Especially on this island?! I was going to use the tailor at Bloomingdales but they never picked up their phone or replied to my email... so I scoured online and found this place and gave it a shot. I parked at WalMart because I got lost. Turns out I didn't need to do that-- there's parking in front of the building. Anyway, big 5/5 experience. That dress she altered for me is not easy either... it's has a BUNCH of sequins. She knows what she's doing, super friendly, super responsive and the prices are fair. I would definitely come back. So glad I did not settle for Bloomingdales' tailor bc they said it would take them TWO WEEKS for me to get my dress back! No thank you! Come to Sook Hi's!!! read more

Amazing! I've never had to get clothing altered before and I'm so glad I found her on Yelp. I was able to be seen the same day I called. The store front has ample parking and my 2 dresses were hemmed perfectly in under an hour. She is very nice, communicative, and easy to work with. Will definitely come back if I need anything else done! read more

Impressed. I took in two skirts to be fixed on Monday morning. One hour later Sooki texted me to let me know the items were finished. Unfortunately I did not have any cash ( I never have cash) so I told her I would pick the items up the next day. I am so relieved to have found her in town. Efficient, good work and not unreasonably priced. She takes credit cards for jobs over $100. But....have mercy. I hear that people think she doesn't sleep. Last minute true emergencies aside, if you have a wedding at 11 o'clock in the morning to attend, you can't expect her to do your alterations if you bring it in that morning. Please be considerate! Sooki feels so bad if she can't help you, but she's not pulling any more late nights! Located next to Meadow Gold on Sheridan Street with lots of free parking out front. read more

Sook Hi is fantastic! I dropped a dress off for hemming and she had it finished by the next day! Her work is great and the fake reviewers should be ashamed of themselves for trying to discredit her. The stitching is perfect on the outside and on the lining. You can't even tell it was hemmed! Thank you so much read more

I absolutely recommend this shop! Both times I I have dropped off pants to be hemmed. And they were ready the same day I dropped them off. Suki the owner is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be using Sook Hi's Alteration for my future alterations. read more

Suki from Sook Hi is comfortingly casual but very professional with her work. She runs a small place on Sheridan on the second floor of the structure behind 808 Center, diagonal from Walmart. I brought in three items, each needing different alteration: a romper that needed a hem in the pant legs, a skirt with a hole in the side seam, and a tank dress that I had her convert into just a skirt. I paid $40 for all of them. She was quick and finished the work within a week, and she texts to let you know when your items are ready for pick up. Each item came back looking like I bought the pieces that way! She matched thread accordingly and her line and length in the hem was perfect. Coming here from now on for all my alteration needs. Only thing is: CASH ONLY. So be sure to bring enough! read more

I don't usually get my clothes altered but my boyfriend bought me a pair of Patagonia tulip pants and suggested we get it shortened. I would have done it myself but they are Patagonia tulip pants! I can't chance messing them up! So I checked out Yelp and found Sook Hi. She was very friendly and reasonably priced. She said she would text me when she was finished. Unfortunately, I never received a text so I walked in 2 weeks later and see what was up and they were ready to go. She thought she texted me which was fine. I don't fault her since we're all human and can't be perfect 100% of the time. The pants look great and exactly what we asked for. I could have never done it myself! I will keep Sook Hi in mind if i ever need any alterations in the future. . read more

The most efficient service in my entire life. My son needed a suit altered for an upcoming wedding in one month. She was so kind and even thanked us for giving her time to complete the alterations. To our surprise she completed the alterations within one day!!! I know she was really busy because both at drop off and pick up there were always other customers so I am so appreciative of her service and the suit fit absolutely perfectly!!! read more

The directions on Yelp (via maps) is a tad inaccurate but if you drive around the block, you'll find her :) Its above Camelot, right next to Walmart. Anyway, great experience! I went in on a Monday with 3 pairs of pants that I needed hemmed and tapered. The owner (I assume), Suki, asked how quickly I needed them back and I told her "Well, I'm off Tuesday and wednesday" and her response "no problem. I'll have them ready." WHHHUUUUT?!?! She clearly already had a ton to do. Her shop (on the second floor) was filled with finished products and bags of items that needed to be worked on. Everything ranging from shorts to wedding gowns. Shes obviously a busy woman. And based on other Yelp reviews, I can see why. Anyway, I dropped the pants off around 3pm, Monday and they were ready, as she said, on Wednesday morning. Giving me plenty of time to get them home, washed, etc. The fit is great. I have recently lost about 50 pounds so while I can fake the waist (with a belt)...I definitely cant fake the amounts of extra fabric around the legs. Suki did an outstanding job fitting, hemming and tapering all 3 pairs. She did a great job on the pants and even gave me a discount because of the department I work for. Thank you so much for the quick and quality work! Anyone who is reading this review and questioning if you should give Sook Hi Alterations a shot...DO IT. You WILL NOT be disappointed. read more

She's such a sweetheart. I had a small rip in my shirt and she sewed it up really fast. I tried to giver her money but she denied it.. Mahalo read more

This review is a little late (a year to be exact lol), but I cannot say enough how amazing SookHi is. My dress was originally supposed to be created custom to me, however there was an error on the tailor's side and they messed up the length of the straps and made them too short (they confused it with another customer). I did not receive or find this out until just before my wedding. While I did get compensated from that tailor/dress company, I was left to scramble and panic before my wedding due to having a dress that cut into my shoulders and sat wrong. I found SookHi on Yelp and explained what happened. She totally saved the day and extended the straps so that my wedding dress looked beautiful and I was comfortable on my wedding. The dress showed no signs of the seams being opened...it was perfect. In the picture you can see it is sitting lower, exactly where I wanted it to begin with. When I brought it to her the straps were like 4-5 inches shorter, and there were these huge awkward gaps on the side. I cannot thank her enough! :) read more

Wow. Suki of Sook Hi's Alteration is amazing. We had a last-minute hemming request for a dress and she finished it that day - 2 days ahead of schedule! Great communication - she texted me when she was done. Excellent customer service while we were there too! She did a great job. I am thrilled I found found her. read more

Amazing!! Fast, friendly and very professional service. I brought in a long sleeve shirt around 930am to take a few inches off the length. I was told it should be ready in 2 days. Not even 30 minutes later I get a text saying my shirt is done. Wowww!! For a second I thought maybe this was a mistake text but I drove back and low and behold my shirt was ready. I can't wait to wear this shirt to dinner in Vegas next weekend. I will definitely be back in the future and I highly recommend this place!! read more

Amazing tailor. Full trust, she knows what's she's doing and she's a total professional, also fast!

She did a fantastic job on hemming my slacks and altering my dress. I will definitely return to Sook in the near future! read more

Suki is amazing!!! I brought in a dress I needed back in 2 weeks, and she texted me the SAME DAY that my dress was done! I was in and out for fittings in 15 mins. When I picked up the dress, it was perfectly hemmed to fit. You can tell she works hard and loves what she does. I would definitely recommend. read more

Sook Hi is intelligent and well put together. She's quite lovely. What I love most is that she is Christian. That's why her skill and her business are so blessed. She's wonderful. She took me last minute before a wedding. Not only did she promise it would be ready the next day, but she texted me in just a few hours that my dress was already ready. On top of that, she took in my shoulders in just the way that I had in mind even though I didn't tell her (she initially gave her own suggestion and I just went with it). My experience with her has decreased the amount of stress I was expecting to have this weekend. I am so thankful. Also, I told her she has many amazing reviews on yelp and she very truly and humbly just said, "they are very kind people." I am so grateful to find her. read more

I was searching on Yelp for a tailor after buying a dress with straps a bit too long for me. I decided to see Suki and was not disappointed at all. I didn't call or anything, just walked in. I was expecting to drop off my dress and pick it up another day but Suki had it done for me in no time and within the hour of me dropping it off. My dress fits me perfectly now and pricing was very fair as well. Suki is very diligent and knows what she's doing. If you are in need of a tailor, see Suki!! You will have no regrets. read more

Best tailor on the island for sure!! As we all know, fit is the most important part of looking polished and being a short girl, I always need items altered to fit properly. After trying a couple different tailors on the island, I'm SO happy I found Sook Hi!! She seriously works magic. I found her on Yelp and went into get a bridesmaid's dress altered. I was a little worried as the material was a mix of very delicate crinkle chiffon and polyester lining and I had a tight deadline for the wedding. Sook Hi finished everything even earlier than I asked and the dress fits perfectly!! She expertly hemmed the dress and then took the extra material to make the top bodice a little larger so that my cleavage situation is more modest and can be zipped up properly. It looked like the dress was made that way, not altered. She also took up a skirt for me and let down a different skirt that I felt was too short. 3 pieces total and amazing work every piece - she's a true expert craftswoman. Plus her prices are really quite reasonable. I'll be coming back for all my pieces. Thank you thank you!! read more

I took my pants (3) in to be hemmed in the morning. She had them ready a couple of hours later. The job was done perfectly and quickly. I couldn't ask for more. read more

Suki is awesome. Accommodating, efficient and friendly! I'm visiting my brother and he got me an island shirt for Christmas. Wanted to wear it in Hawaii so bad, but it was too wide. Suki got it done for me in an hour, while I ran errands on the island. She is awesome read more
