Had a pair of Vuori pants hemmed and the stitching came back crooked, almost like a bar graph instead of a straight line. When I pointed it out, the woman blamed the fabric rather than the work. She did fix it, but made sure to mention she'd had to redo it -- as if that wasn't because it was wrong the first time. Sadly, won't be returning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Amazing service. Nice. Inexpensive. Quick turn around on repairs. I brought in pants that needed a quick hem repair and the had it done in less than 20 mins. Another needed a zipper repair and only took a few days. I was very happy with their service. read more

Thank you for the fast turnaround for alterations! Solid price point for the craftsmanship for my linen split leg pants hem and silk skirt alteration. read more

Amazing quality and fast turnaround time ! I took 2 pairs of jeans to be hemmed and both came out amazing !

Got my daughter's prom dress altered. They did pretty good job and my daughter loved it and the promised day of pickup was accurate because her prom was the next day. Although, it was a little pricey to me it's still worth it. read more

My husband found Susan's and has been here multiple times. She is well priced and turns around alternations very quickly!! My husband has brought in pants to tailor for work on several occasions. Recently he brought one of my favorite pair of Levi's to be fixed and she did such a good job replacing the zipper, I was so happy with the result since they discontinued this style and though I had to get rid of these pie of jeans. Her stitching was perfect! Definitely recommend coming here for alterations. read more

I brought a pair of pants I had only worn twice and the zipper had caught the tape and wouldn't zip up anymore. I spent a lot on these pants and don't feel that skilled in my sewing abilities, so I went to Yelp and found Susan's. I came in on a Tuesday and Susan assessed the zipper replacement and quoted $20. There was no rush for my repair so she said she could have it ready by Saturday. I was so pleased to see how nicely the new zipper was sewn in and for a very reasonable price! Thank you! I'll definitely be retuning next time I need alterations! read more

I always go to Susan's for all my alterations. They are very professional and affordable! That you for being so accommodating and efficent !

Susan's alterations did a wonderful job fixing coupke of garments and altering some jeans. They were quick and affordable. I know there might be some communication issues, but if you can be a little patient and explain it they will do it good. Or you can even show a picture of how you want it to be. read more

Next time you need to shorten your pants, I highly recommend Susan. I'm used to having to wait a week for hemmed pants, but she was able to get a half dozen pairs of pants back to me in only a few days (dropped off Saturday afternoon, picked up Tuesday evening). Her hours are very convenient, as she is open later than I've come to expect from tailors. There is parking in the little strip mall. Her pricing for pant hems is affordable. She is an asset to this community with the excellent service she provides. read more

I'm always in search of a knowledgeable, skillful, , reliable, reasonably priced tailor. They're also VERY fast! Usually less than 1 week. I've been coming here for years for pant hems & cuffs. I've had jacket & coat cuffs hemmed here very nicely. I've also had nice long sleeve shirts altered and hemmed into "business casual" short sleeve shirts. I have my new suits altered here. They are excellent for simple alterations (pant hems, jacket cuffs) which are done very well. * More complex alteration tailoring like taking in the suit jacket back & waist can be a little inconsistent. Some suit jackets were altered exceptionally well! They came back and looked bespoke and tailor made for me. Yet, other suit jackets were not tailored quite as well as expected (from exact same designer) & somehow they just couldn't seem to repeat the same alterations and get it right. - Seemed a little odd to me. But, Whatever. read more

Love this place!!! I have recently brought the pants there to have them shortened! They did a wonderful job! And they charged me $10 per each! More than reasonable price! Furthermore, it only took them a day or two to get it done! The lady that I worked with (Grace) is always nice and friendly!! If you live in the South Bay and need alteration with any of your clothing; I highly recommend that you go to them! read more

I recently altered a bridesmaid dress and a blazer here. The bridesmaid dress was a very complicated alteration and the first tailor I went to before here actually told me she couldn't fix it! So I was pleasantly surprised when the Korean lady here told me she can do it with no issues! She even got it pressed and got all the wrinkles out. The price was fair and the turnaround time was quick. I will definitely come here again for any future alterations! read more

I've gone here for several things and they have always done a great job! Even with a difficult job of mending there elastic ribbing around the wrist of a favorite sweatshirt. Team Susan is my go-to for anything beyond my very meager sewing skills and I have been always been happy with the work. Absolutely recommend them without any reservations! read more

Can only comment on simple pants hem. The work was clean and as ordered. Staff were pleasant. Quick turnaround and very reasonable cost, possibly the lowest around after I checked. Not sure how they would do on more complex alterations. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. They LOST the straps to my maid of honor dress. They offered no apologies. No compensation. She tired to make new straps for the dress, but they are sloppy. On top of this, the alterations are poorly done. They also do not speak English, which I have nothing against, but it made it very hard to communicate and figure out what was going on. Do not trust them with your clothes, especially for a big occasion. I paid $100 for my dress to be ruined and partially lost. read more

Came to this business on my husband's recommendation. Have referred people to this business. That all ended this past weekend. I had a formal dress hemmed by Susan's Alterations. Brought it home and kept it in plastic until the event (wedding) date. Put the dress on came downstairs and saw stray threads at the hem, upon closer observation, saw that the dress was slashed diagonally about 18-24 inches right above the hem. I took photos and sent them to the owner. She said to come in, which I couldn't as we were going to the wedding within the next 5 minutes. I taped up the slashed dress as best I could and went to the wedding, texting the owner on the way. She asked that I bring the dress in. I told her it wouldn't be until Monday. She said after 4:00. Took my dress in, took my store receipt for the dress and asked her to reimburse me for the dress and the alteration. The owner stated that no way did the dress leave her business like that...she ended up giving me 2/3 of what I asked for, I basically paid her for ruining my dress. Upon further inspection once I got home, I noticed that someone tried to repair the slash in the dress. I am so disgusted I am shaking with anger. Remember folks, always look at your alterations before you leave the shop. i hope no one else has this happen to them. Essentially I paid her to ruin my dress. read more

Why they gave my pants to Someone else when I picked them up they were short . They had a name in them. My we're desiigner brand and they gave them to someone else. She still assisted those were my pants. Do not go there horrible business. they cannot keep the customers close together. Somebody said they sell them on the side now I believe them do not take your clothes there. If you do, please pick them up the same day they don't even help you out and trying to find your clothes and who they gave them to bad business read more

We went here because of the great Yelp recommendations and low prices and we were not disappointed. Friendly, fast, efficient, reliable and a great value. Best alteration prices in the area. read more

Good service with reasonable prices and excellent tailoring. Very consistent and friendly.

Came here for an alteration to some pants. Needed a 4in reduction to the length. Cost $15 which seamed a little pricy. Dropped off on a Friday and then picked up the next Tuesday. read more

I have visited this shop on multiple occasions and have had clothing altered. This last visit, I took a pair of pants to get hemmed and a small taper. When writing my ticket, she told me the total was $35. I told her that was more than I had paid in the past,l for the exact same request. The lady helping them called the owner and was discussing the price and scope of work. I told her that I'd take it elsewhere, which I did, and another place charged me $16. Less than half the price of Susan's Alteration for the same exact work! Needless to say, this problem could be solved if they would simply post their prices instead of subjectively charging different prices at different times. read more

Been going here for years. They do a really great job of cropping and hemming some of my new shirts that are way too long. Typically I give Susan's Alterations one shirt that I like and fits perfectly as the sample and leave it with them so they can measure it to adjust the new ones that I want altered. I'm happy with the results every time and it's a great go-to place. read more

Very friendly staff and did a great job on our dry cleaning items. On time with our order.

This is a a mom-and-pop alteration shop and I always see this one sweet Asian lady who runs this place. For hemming, it is $15 for each shirt & sweater and $6 for each jean. It was a really quick walk-in experience (like 15 minutes) - I came in, changed my clothes, answered whether I was satisfied with the newly proposed length, handed my shirts and jeans to her, and got a receipt. Most of time she can finish the job in one or two working days. I would recommend this place if you are looking for general and not overly complicated hemming. Reasonable price with a quick turnaround. read more

Had them hem a $400 dress and they basically ruined it by not cutting it straight. Came back completely wrinkled and wanted an extra $30 and 5 more days to press it. Had to a rgue with them just to get it steamed a bit. Avoid. read more

I've taken multiple dresses, gowns & pants here to be altered and they've done a great job each time. Even thick blackout curtains. They're quick and priced fair. read more

Amazing work! Very efficient and professional. #1 choice for all my alterations. They did several pairs of slacks for my daughter and two suits for me. Perfect every time and very nice. read more

Dirty unorganized shop. Gave me a quote over the phone and price was significantly higher in person (quoted me $25-$45 over the phone and it ended up being $120). I left and found another location nearby and they quoted me $55. Definitely will not recommend this place!! read more

Love going here for last minute hemming! Depending on her workload, she usually has my items ready the same day. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend this shop with all my heart. Efficient, fairly priced for expert work and fast. She has never disappointed me. We need more businesses like this parking spots too read more

Been a customer here several times and I like Mimi (younger lady). The Sign on front says $5.99 for jean hemming but she usually charges $10-12 per jean. I don't mind, it's still a fair price. Today I brought 3 jeans but Mimi was at the back. Susan (the older korean lady, who had charged me higher than Mimi on a previous hemming job)) charged me $75.00 for the 3 even though 2 just needed to be cut ragged just like the original. It's double the cost of the three denim combined. Oh well, she lost a customer. Update: went to the Levi's Store at Del Amo Mall and I only paid $40 for the three. I could tell that the Levi's person knew what she was doing when she accepted the jeans. read more

Consider Yourself warned. This review is biased. Why? I grew up in a similar environment. Family Business. Every Customer asking if they can "wait for it?" Everyone needs it sooner than they really do. (You're guilty of this. I'm guilty of this.) If You're looking for passion, tradition, commitment, experience, genuineness, love, skill, family, intention, and seven other adjectives that I don't think you're no longer reading... then... Give some 2020 Love to Susan's Alterations, just north of the Nordstrom at the All-NEW Del Amo Fashion Center. Sewed up a $125.00 100% Down Feather Vest to my exacting proportions. Well Done! Brava! Bravo! Brav-All !!!! read more

Went to Susan's based on the great reviews to get my pants tailored. I was standing in line with two people behind me. When it was my turn to go up I politely asked if I could have my pants expedited as I needed them back quickly for work. I said something to the effect of "is it possible that I could pay extra for my pants to be expedited?" I did not specify an exact date in my initial question because I figured if things could be expedited the response from the person would be something like "yes, when do you need them by?" However in reality The front desk lady responded in a very nasty tone "When do you need your pants?? When???! When!? See all these people behind you??" Needless to say I (as well as the two people behind me) were a little taken aback by this attendants tone, demeanor and being plain mean. I did not get her name as I nearly walked out right then and there but suffice it to say if you do go here and run into this particular lady try to be quick, precise and detailed with your request. She was an older lady with short blonde hair. No time for pleasantries and politeness at Susan's if there is any type of line whatsoever IF you get this particular older lady. On the positive side when I picked up my pants the lady working at that time was a different person and she was polite, my pants were hemmed properly and on the date and time we agreed upon. read more

Brought in four dresses to alter and only one dress was decently done. She charges a lot for mediocre work. It's unfortunate as I'm in desperate need to find a good seamstress in Southbay. read more

I needed a quick hemming job for my medical scrub pants. I paid $8 each which I thought was a fair price. Picked it up 2 days after. I'm pretty you can ask her to do it quicker but I wasn't really in too much rush. It was the perfect length and transaction was smooth. She also did some major alteration for my husband's uniform (short sleeve dress shirt). They shortened the sleeves, made it tighter and brought the chest pockets higher and trimmed the length. It was a perfect fit for him. He though she did the best job out of all the tailors he brought them to. read more

Very pleased with Susan's service. I discovered her shop trough Yelp's reviews and was not disappointed. Susan is very honest, quiet and hardworking woman. I needed a quick fix on a pair of pants the same day and she did it right the way. Wonderful job! She also helped me with my art project and I am very grateful for Susan's help. read more
