Unfortunately, I had a negative experience with this business. I've been bringing my clothes here…read morefor about 2 years and I've spent hundreds of dollars for dry cleaning and minor alterations during that period. I dropped off a stack of clothes about two weeks ago, and picked up this afternoon. Upon arriving home, I realized that my white blouse (a white button up, long sleeve) had yellow streaks on both sleeves as well as sporting on the front by the collar. The shirt did not have stains before I brought it in and I asked for a dry cleaning. I took the shirt back about 10 minutes later. The woman proceeded to tell me that the shirt was like that when I brought it in (a $200 shirt in like new condition). She would not take accountability for the staining and insisted that I did not know what I was talking about--as though I didn't know what my own clothes looked like before I brought them in. She gave me my $8 back unprompted and commented that she could try stain removal AGAIN. This wasn't an "again" situation--there was not significant yellowing to the top before I brought it there. I walked out, and went to another cleaner/tailor. This individual confirmed my suspicion: given the extent of the yellowing, it's likely that the blouse reacted to something applied to it during cleaning. I should have known better--just two months ago, the sleeve of another sweater was damaged here following a repair (I didn't complain then because it was minor, but I should have). Based on my experience today, I do not believe that this business respects its customers and stands by its services. I hope that others have better luck.

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

If you're looking for a top-tier tailor in Midtown Manhattan, Alterations.com should be at the top…read moreof your list. Head tailor Juan Cuello is exceptionally skilled and relentlessly professional--he simply won't stop until the fit is perfect. Over the past six years, I've brought him around a dozen off-the-rack suits, and he has consistently transformed them to look and feel like high-end made-to-measure pieces. The difference in drape, balance, and overall silhouette is remarkable. I've used other tailors for alterations, but none come close to Juan's level of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in every finished garment. Juan is truly one of a kind.

My first visit to Vilairs was on August 3rd, 2019. It's a tidy and small location. When I arrived I…read morewas greeted by Vilair, the owner. He is a very nice man, straight forward, honest and is a really hard worker. I came to him to get my wedding dress altered. I went to another place around my job and they wanted to charge me $300 to cut the bottom front portion of the dress which was way too expensive to ME. Vilair wasted no time and asked me to change into my dress. He has two small fitting rooms in the store, nothing special but it gets the job done. I had my daughter help me get into the dress and it was quite difficult to move around in that small space. Once I had it on, he had me stand in front of the big mirror and hemmed the dress with safety pins. He pinned it to the length of my choice and ASKED me if I wanted any other alterations. I was really happy because the other place didnt even ask me if I wanted any additional changes. Vilair also took the waist in one inch on each side to make it more fitted. Overall, I'm so happy with the alterations. I honestly couldn't of found a better seamstress. Vilair only charged me $180 and he had to remove the lace bottom portion of my dress, cut the tulle and perfectly place the lace back on to make it look seamless to the train. I would of never expected to find such a good place so close to home. He made me feel confident in his work and by September 3rd my dress was ready for me to pick up. The only thing I didnt like is that as I walked in the store with my dress on, all the pieces of string, hair, paper, etc that was on the floor (its covered with a rug) got stuck to my dress. So my train has pieces of stuff on it that I'm constantly taking off. My wedding dress was such a big deal to me especially since I spent SO much money on it. I'll be back to Vilairs for other alterations. Once my wedding has passed, I'll post photos of the dress and how Vilair fixed it.
