The old lady that was running the register stared at me almost the entire time as I tried on shoes. It was a little unsettling. Not a dealbreaker though. She also started to come behind me and try to peer at my phone midway through the experience. I was reading about the shoes I was trying on. When she saw my screen she told me to ask her any questions if I had any, but when I did she became marginally irritated. I asked her, "What model shoe is this?" To which she replied she didn't know and that she was with a customer already. Okay, why did you tell me to ask you if I had questions then? Also, the customer in question had paid before I walked in, and had been shooting the breeze with the clerk about his kids. When I asked to try on a different color she was happy to grab them, but when I tried on the first set again she remarked, "You didn't like those, remember? That's why you asked for the other color." I told her I was just taking my time, but she didn't seem thrilled, and went back to staring at me. At some point I mentioned that these boots, made by Redback, only come in whole size lengths, with the half sizes denoting a change in width, not length. She insisted I get the half size up for "longer length" anyway, with no clue what I was talking about. All in all, I chalk it up to a difference in generations. She was crabby, yes, but she is old. She tried to constantly engage and violate my screen privacy, yes, but she didn't come from a generation that drew those boundaries. In the end, the prices are totally fair and that's what really counts. Although I will add that they had a ton of poly blended shirts, but I was really hoping they would have some nice cotton twill or poplin, which seems odd given the elevated aesthetic they are going for.

Tina was amazing from beginning to end. I was able to text her to inquire when she could get me in…read moreand she was very responsive. I had two dresses that needed the length shortened due to it being so long on me (short girl problems). I also needed the dresses back ASAP because I was wearing them for a wedding happening that weekend. Tina was able to make it happen without charging me a rush fee. She was very transparent about her pricing and I was able to pay when picking up the dresses. I would definitely return and would recommend Tina for any of your alteration needs! Thank you once again Tina!

I've been searching for a reliable tailor in the San Francisco area, and Tina's Alterations was…read moreexactly what I was looking for. I had four dresses that needed alterations for several upcoming weddings and initially sent Tina photos of all of them. Rather than accepting every project, she carefully evaluated each dress and agreed to work on only two. She explained that while the other two dresses could technically be altered, the fabric and fit would make it difficult to achieve a result that met her quality standards. I greatly appreciated her honesty and professionalism. Many businesses would have accepted all four dresses, but Tina was focused on delivering work she could confidently stand behind. Her transparency and commitment to quality immediately gave me confidence in her expertise. During my first visit to Tina, I brought both my dresses to try on to assess the alterations that I needed done (mostly hemming). She provided a quote at that time, and stated that payment could be made at pick-up. I found her pricing to be very reasonable given the complexity of the dresses (material and multiple layers). The two dresses she altered turned out beautifully. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the fit was exactly what I wanted. The turnaround time was about two weeks from drop-off to pickup, which I found very reasonable (especially since I had told Tina there was no rush). She clearly takes pride in her work and pays close attention to the details that make a difference. One thing to note is that English is her second language and Mandarin is her first, so there can be a bit of a language barrier. If you speak Mandarin, communication will likely be even smoother. That said, I found Tina to be thoughtful, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for her clients. I would definitely return for future alterations and would highly recommend Tina's Alterations to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest, trustworthy service.

Thuy took special care to explain the process and show me all the options available. After the suit was ordered, she took care to communicate status with me on a regular basis. After I wore the suit for the San Francisco City Hall ceremony, I wanted to loosen up the pants to accommodate the hotter weather for my wedding reception in Hawaii. Given the wedding was one week away, Thuy made special effort to have the alterations done quickly. It was finished with a few days to spare! One of the suspender buttons inexplicably broke and Thuy made the trip out to my office in SOMA to sew on a new button. That was the kicker that got me to write this review. Thuy was extremely delightful to work with and her attention to detail is second to none. I highly recommend. Thank you Thuy!

She's also just such a cool, grounded person with a great sense of humor -- we had so much fun every time we met with her. When I decided to add hand-embroidered appliqués to our suits, she worked with us to plan everything perfectly and ensured her team placed and applied them flawlessly. Thúy is truly creating something special and important for our community. We're endlessly grateful to have found her and could not recommend her more highly.
