I couldn't be more happy with the service I received at VIP Alterations! Alberto truly had a vision for how my wedding bustle would look best, and he brought it to life perfectly. His attention to detail, professionalism, and expertise made the entire experience stress-free and exciting. The final result was absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality alterations and exceptional service! read more

Alberto did a fantastic job on a few pairs of tech fabric pants I brought in. He was extremely knowledgeable about how to go about making the alterations so that they would look as best as possible. The job he did was as good as it gets and I frequently have my clothes tailored for the profession I'm in so I'm pretty well-versed on good vs poor work. With regard to pricing, they are extremely reasonable compared to other tailors I've dealt with. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by for your tailoring needs. Very impressed and I will be back. read more

I loved the service, great work and speed. I loved the end result and would recommend! Found this place bc I was referred by a friend.

Alberto and his team were very kind . I got my wedding dress fitted wrong by my bridal shop and it was two sizes big .. Alberto opened the dress and nearly re made it just to avoid the over lapped fabric and look fitted to my body .. they fixed perfectly. I was bummed to have paid so much of alterations but I'm glad at it tuned out well at the end and Alberto helped me so much !! Thank you again ! I highly recommend him ! read more

I have a very special wedding to attend next month and they asked the guests to wear spring colors. Being that I only owned a black suit I needed something else, so I found an inexpensive linen suit on Amazon. It needed some tailoring of course so I searched and found Alberto on Yelp. Brought the suit in last week. He took a few quick measurements and that was it. Picked up the suit today and it looks fantastic. It looks as though it could've cost hundreds of dollars. Everybody there was friendly and cordial, they were quite efficient and they did a great job at a reasonable price. You can't ask for more than that. Alberto told me that he could also tailor the sleeves of some short sleeve shirts I own after I explained they were too big. I will definitely be using them again. Thanks VIP! read more

Alberto and his wife are the sweetest people!! I got my wedding dress fitted wrong by the bridal shop and it was 2 sizes too big completely falling off of me. I brought my dress in 4 weeks before my wedding and they got it done in 2 weeks!! It did not even look like he did alterations it was done so perfectly and I'm beyond happy with them!!! I also got my 2nd dress done as it was too long and wide! Anything they do is perfect. I recommend them to everyone and anyone !!! read more

I won a wedding photoshoot contest last minute on Facebook, and I only had 3 days to find a dress. I was lucky to find one in my size, but the arms were too big. Desperate for a quick alteration, VIP Alterations squeezed me in! They fixed my dress in less than 24 hours so I could have a successful photoshoot. I can't say enough about the staff, they are so friendly and treated me like family. They truly made my dream dress a reality. Thank you, VIP!

This was my first experience going to a tailor. They charged $100 to tailor a shirt length and sleeves!! I went to a different tailor down the street, and they charged $30 to do the same thing to a different shirt!! Very dishonest people and ripped me off! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!! I went to Alberto for wedding dress alterations and he made my dreams come true. At my first fitting he talked me through every alteration he was thinking to make sure we were both on the same page and have the same vision. He is meticulous and so professional. His wife, Martha, is also incredibly sweet and was a great second opinion to have. At each of my appointments there were other people there getting all types of alterations (pants, blouses, suits, etc.) and they both gave the same level of care to those as they did to my wedding dress. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I've been searching for a good tailor for a long time. They are so hard to find nowadays. I used to drive all the way out to Santa Monica but my longtime tailor retired. Luckily I found VIP in my own backyard. I was ready to drive into LA but Jaime and his uncle Alberto really impressed me. They fixed two of my suits and a shirt and Jaime pointed out things I didn't even know were wrong. Now I can't unsee those same flaws I didn't even notice before. I plan to take all of my shirts and suits to them. I highly recommend you do the same. read more

Thank you so much to Alberto for altering my dress on such a short timeline in such a professional way. He A) changed the drop straps to regular straps for me, B) added a bustle, C) hemmed the many many skirts of the dress, and D) was able to reconstruct the bodice to fit my chest after I lost 10 pounds in the bust leading up to the wedding. I felt like my most beautiful self and everyone loved the dress. I don't know what alterations typically cost so I can't tell you if it's pricey or not all I know is it was worth every dollar, especially to have him and his team working on this for me. Thank you! read more

Alberto did alterations for my wedding dress. He was quick, efficient, and answered all of my questions/concerns.

I adore This place!! They are consistently able to fulfill my every request and even fix the smaller items in the moment in 5 min or less. I highly recommend. read more

What an excellent experience! They have customer service nailed here. They really do make you feel like an MVP. Brought in two top notch suits that I needed to make fairly dramatic changes to (convert a 44L jacket to more of a 44R length), I also wanted the sleeves to be shortened at the shoulders rather than the cuffs. The tailoring and reconstruction work is perfect! It took a couple of weeks (I was in no rush at all) and it probably cost me about the amount of an off the rack suit, but the quality is out of this world. I'll be back (for some simpler alterations). There is no job beyond the talents of these folks! read more

I would like to start off by apologizing for stressing this family out and also thanking them. I brought my dress in 4 days before my wedding date. I dropped it off Monday and I got it back Wednesday. Unfortunately, a close family member is terminally ill and we wanted them to see us get married so we planned the wedding so fast. I am also far from a girly girl and never wear dresses since I am so skinny and flat. I had never felt great in a dress. They altered my dress that I bought off the rack at a bridal show that had cup sizes 3x my size. They made my dress fit like a glove. Like it looked amazing!!! They altered my dress in not only a shirt amount of time, they made me feel at home! My husband spoke a little Spanish and he loved how they would speak Spanglish to us and showed him what to do since we were so short in time. They even explained to my mom what to do and let us all be part of the experience. To the Karen reviewer on here: I really think it's sad and immature for you to target a small family business just because it "ruined" your experience. Clearly you don't know customer service nor have ever worked in the industry. Degrees may not matter to you but clearly this man worked hard for those and has the right to show them off. His family was so sweet and if the stress of wedding planning is getting to you, maybe slow it down? To everyone else: I never use Yelp since I think all the writers are complainers, but I had to write a genuine review. The Karen review really bothered me and I am sure you can tell from the positive reviews that his works speaks for itself. They are the nicest family and are dog people (If you know, then you know). They made a dress that fit me everywhere and I have never had that before. They worked so fast and squeezed me in. I expected to pay an arm and a leg but they are the nicest and understood our situation so we paid very little. I could never thank VIP Tailoring enough! Thank you so much and we will be back when I need anything altered. Thank you to the whole team and family! read more

Exquisite craftsmanship and service. I had a couple of suits that I needed customized and when I Iet Alberto and Martha know that I was hoping to at least have one tailored fairly quickly because of my impromptu upcoming elopement, he put me at the top of the list and tailored both suits in matter of a few days. He also didn't try and upsell me on a blazer that I was considering having tailored which ultimately was just not the right fit for me. Very gracious and highly skilled. I will be brining all of my tailoring needs to them. Highly recommend. read more

Alberto is an artist and is at the absolute top of his craft. He can "see" how a dress should fit to one's body and tailors it to perfection.

VIP Alterations was recommended to me from Bella Bridal Couture. I figured they would be a more expensive option; and they were; however, I didn't have the time to shop around and price compare. Alberto and his wife were very kind. It was clear that they do good work. I went in for my fitting - the appointments are quick, but they are attentive. The alterations were much more than I anticipated and I did spend more than intended (which they might have hoped for - since it's supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience right?). With that said, Alberto did an excellent job and really made the dress fit ME, rather than me fit the dress. It's beautiful and I received SO MANY compliments about how the dress was perfect for me and looked like it was made for me - that was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I'm the future, I'd like to bring my dress back to have it shortened so I can potentially wear it again to an anniversary party or another formal event. read more

This place SAVED my dress. When I went to pick up my wedding dress from the boutique it didn't fit me at all. Literally fell right off me after buttoning and zipping and tightening everything, just fell right off. I honestly didn't think my dress would be saved but WOW. This place not only saved my entire dress but they are just the loveliest people you will ever meet. So much reassurance, confidence, and support. They really made me feel like a beauty queen on my special day. Thank you so much everybody read more

The best service on my daughter's prom dress alteration!!! Nice, easy and well done!

I love VIP alterations! They have great hospitality! Alterations for my prom dress were perfectly done! The entire team was the best!

I just picked up my wedding dress from VIP Alterations yesterday and not only did I genuinely have a wonderful experience but they truly are working magic in here. They were recommended to me by the bridal shop where I bought my dress and the shop had full confidence in directing me to them for my alterations. You can tell Alberto is highly experienced and has a natural eye for his craft, where adjustments need to be made and made me feel at peace knowing they would perfect my dress for the big day (which is very helpful during a hectic time of wedding planning). Needless to say, he pays attention to every detail and the dress could not fit more perfectly to my body. I needed the trim raised a bit so I wouldn't trip over my dress for our father-daughter dance and he executed this flawlessly. We even walked across the room together, and I did some spins in it to get an idea of how it would feel on my wedding day. They also helped me video how to bustle the dress for my bridesmaids to see. All of this really helped put me at ease and I appreciate them for being so professional and friendly. I know being a bride can be stressful and I saw a pretty snappy bride during one of my visits so please be respectful because they truly do reciprocate kindness and will explain their process to you. I honestly don't have a single bad thing to say about my experience and I do hope to cross paths again! It's also just a really nice space that they have. I would hands-down recommend them to anyone. They're fantastic. read more

Please do not go to Alberto's VIP Alterations! You will not be treated with respect or professionalism. I was crying and very upset after this experience. I went to try on my wedding dress for a fitting. From the start, Alberto made me feel unwelcome. Before I barely even said "hi," he was defensive, citing his awards and certifications on the walls saying I needed to listen to him carefully regarding the process. He briefly explained the process but made it clear that if I didn't like the price, I could leave. This was before anything had even happened...before trying on the dress and even knowing what was going on in regards to price. Part of me thought, "Okay, he has certifications and awards, let's trust that," but another part of me felt uneasy by his approach. It felt orchestrated by him annd other staff who told me I needed to listen to what he was about to say. When I went to try on my dress, I was asking normal questions, but anytime I pointed something out to get clarification or his opinion, he became defensive. He repeatedly threatened me with the security cameras and took pictures of me in the dress, saying that this evidence was all proof and that I can't come back later and say I didn't like the dress. This was so strange and off-putting to me. I wasn't mad at him...or saying I didn't like what he was doing or that I would be upset with him if it didn't come out right - weird. I tried to calm him down and explained that I wasn't upset but just trying to understand the options and get his opinion. He somewhat calmed down. The alteration prices were extremely high -- $1700, which was almost the cost of the dress itself. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. If he was this confident in his work and awards, then I could trust him to help me out and give me an acceptable dress. The next day, I noticed a detail in a picture my mom took from the fitting that didn't seem quite right. I called Alberto's and asked if they could send me a picture they had from the fitting to clarify things. I was calm and polite, but they asked if they could call me back because they were busy. In the meantime, they sent me a blurry video, and when I responded with the picture my mom took, Alberto himself called me. He immediately started yelling at me, telling me he was dropping me as a client and to pick up my dress and that he will refund me. I was in shock. I tried to explain again that I wasn't upset or accusing anyone of anything. I was very calm and trying to understand what the heck just happened! I only wanted to clarify something with the dress and get his opinion. He said he was too busy to deal with me and that he had lots of other customers he had to deal with, so he handed the phone to his wife which was very cowardly. She told me that he wouldn't work with me anymore. I was incredibly disappointed and upset, especially since my wedding is only three weeks away, which I explained. I attempted to explain to his wife that it appeared he felt I was mad or accused him of something. She was unwilling to resolve the issue. When I went back to the shop to get a refund, I confronted them about how unprofessional it all was. They ignored me and processed the refund. . I would not recommend this business to anyone. read more
