Attractive Alterations

Owner is very friendly and professional. Alterations are done quickly, usually within a week.

YOU’RE INVITED TO A ROYAL BALL: I needed a same day alteration on an evening gown for a fancy fundraiser. It was a very impromptu purchase and the dress my husband picked out for me needed to be hemmed by about four inches. Damn those European hemlines!
NO FAIRY GODMOTHER, BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT Unilocal: What is a gal to do when there’s no magic wand available to fix a dress in a jiffy? Oh yes, you find a tailor on Unilocal!My hubby found Attractive Alterations and gave the number a call. Insun (the own) answered the phone and told us to bring the dress in so she could see if the work could be done same day.
WHERE TO GO BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PUMPKIN CARRIAGE: Attractive Alterations is in the Waimulu Shopping Center. Same complex as Baldwin’s and Zippy’s, across the street from Best Buy. It’s located on the second floor above Christie’s karaōke lounge on the West side of the building. Go upstairs and you’ll find Insun’s modest studio shop.
THOSE MICE DON’T TURN INTO HORSES OR DO HEMMING: My gown hemming ended up being $ 52 because it was a rush. The price would have been $ 40 but she added 25% for the same day service. This might seem pricey but it’s not because it’s an evening gown. I’ll definitely return in the future to hem my pants and denim because her pricing is quite reasonable and I was really happy with her work plus fast turnaround time.
SHE’S MY KOREAN FAIRY GODMOTHER: Insun is so sweet and it meant so much to us that she stayed open late just to finish my dress. Most alterations places won’t go the extra mile when you’re in a bind and I really appreciate her flexibility.
I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS: I loooooove my new dress! And I felt like Cinderella indeed with my handsome prince at my side at a very fancy royal ball! Next time I’ll try to buy my dress weeks in advance but just in case I don’t at least I know I can always give Insun a call!
***CASH ONLY***

Got my dress taken in from the zipper and it practically as if I brought it that way and at a reasonable price especially for the turn around time. I would definitely come back and recommend.

I came to attractive alterations to hem my prom dress. Insun is the sweetest! Very good customer service. My dress is a mermaid which has 4 layers and just like the other review on here I understand the price she gave me. My dress was done within a week and a half and I’m very satisfied of how it came out. Highly recommend coming here for alterations!

I don’t normally get alterations but I needed to get my bridesmaid dress altered so I decided to try this place. The location is in Waimalu shopping center, on the second floor (who knew there was a second floor?!). But once you go up the steps, it’s right there! The Korean ahjummas were so nice and friendly. The work they did in my dress was neat and perfect! I’m looking forward to wearing my altered dress to Mexico this summer! And I definitely would come back here if I ever need anything altered again. !

Awesome. We needed the elastic repaired in a dress and wanted it for the next day. She delivered and did an excellent job. Thank you!!!

I first found out about Attractive Alterations because of a 20% coupon I got from one of my teachers. So I gave it a try, at first I had a hard time finding it but it’s all the way to left of the shopping center, and by Christine’s lounge up a dark stairway. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a nice lady. She quickly helped me into a dressing room and helped me zip up my prom dress. I forgot my heels, and she was able to let me borrow one of hers. As I was aware, my prom dress is very detailed and had many layers (5) because it was a mermaid dress and since I ordered online I ordered a size bigger than my regular. She could have easily said no and turned me away like most seamstresses when they had hard dresses like mine, but she was able to do it and for that I was very thankful. With that, I understood the price she gave me it for. Cash only though! After a week and a half, I came to pick it up and she had me try it on and it fit so perfectly! I was definitely in love. She did such a good job. She then helped me out of my dress, and gave me a hug and told me to have a good time at my prom. I definitely will be coming to her for any alterations I may need. She sews anything and everything!

This is an update to my previous review. The owner had contacted me to resolve my concern. I appreciate that she did take the time and did so in a timely and amicable manner. I am revising my rating due to this. I will do business again in the future.

I just got back from picking up 3 pairs of jeans from Attractive Alterations. I had 2 jeans hemmed and 1 hemmed and tapered for a more straight legged jean.
I must say, despite the fact that I wore these jeans and shredded the bottoms pretty good before handing them over for a fix, she did a great job. I asked her (sorry, I didn’t get her name) to keep the jeans long and she did that. In my experience, jeans tend to get hemmed to your ankles and become forever high waters and a waste of money. I never understood why alteration shops did that and refused to understand, «Keep it long, it’s OK, I want it like that, I like to cuff them.»
Anyways, this girl got it! She did a good job. 5 stars for her work but… I think it’s a little expensive ($ 45 for three pairs of pants) and the location is OK. Her shop also smells far too heavily of food. It’s kind of nauseating. So, sorry bout it, but, 4 stars!

So I just left Attractive Alterations and I have to say, service with a smile! The owner is a very sweet woman, and her prices are VERY REASONABLE!!! I had collected over 7 pairs of very nice dress slacks on sale that were all way too long. For fear of paying for the pants twice, they have been sitting in my closet for a couple of months. I’m excited to say that in less than a week, I’ll be able to finally wear my pants! They are hidden upstairs in the Waimalu Shopping Center, and she also offers Military discounts! I’ll have plenty more pieces to bring in… THANKS Attractive alterations!!!

I brought in my leather Harley Davidson vest in to have two large patches and two smaller patches sewn on. I expected them to be done in a couple of days but she asked «would you like to pick them up today after 3?» and it was only 11 a.m. I showed her where I want the patches, she marked the spots on the vest, had me try on the vest, asked if she could adjust them slightly so that when I’m wearing the vest, the patches look straight. I didn’t even think of that! The vest was completed as promised and it looks amazing! Very happy and I’ll be bringing my patches to her in future.

Dropped off (4) work pants to be hemmed. The owner took my items on Thursday afternoon and was ready on Saturday. She charged $ 10EA which was affordable in my eyes.
I would recommend this location which is located in the Waimalu shopping center upstairs from the downstairs barbershop.

Excellent service. Dropped off two of my suits on Wednesday and she had it ready on Friday. She accommodated me plenty! I would recommend this place to anyone. And the alterations… Awesome! I’m so glad I came here. I WILL be going back.

Not open at 930am. Saturday. No answer.
But still a good place to bring stuff u need sewn :)

Long story short. My zipper on my new dress got stuck and I was stuck in my dress. She did an emergency repair and sewed a new zipper on my dress. She stayed late on a Friday to fix my dress. She is so sweet and did a great job on the spot! I am so thankful that we found her.

This place is a quaint area that’s hidden and kind of hard to find, but definitely worth the search. She’s such a sweetheart and she made my prom dress perfect not to mention, as it was time for me to pick up my alternated dress, I couldn’t meet the 6pm closing time, so I explained my situation to her and she agreed to say behind 15 more mintues just so I can pick it up! She cares about her customers and she is very hospitable. I recommend this place to anyone, it’s not all the way in downtown and the price is reasonable!

I’ve been looking for an alteration shop for awhile since my other one closed suddenly. After reading all the raving reviews about Insun at Attractive Alterations on Unilocal,I decided to give her a try.
Went in with ten items; eight dresses too long and two items that needed minor fixes. I was in and out of there in twelve minutes and she finished everything in two days! It was so fast, I wasn’t even ready to pick them up yet! Highly recommend this place if you’re in need of alterations. She definitely knows what she’s doing and she’s good at it. Remember though-​cash only!

She altered my pants to fit my waist and the length. She’s super friendly Korean lady. I recommended her to my friends and co workers. Her work is done quick and neat.

I don’t frequent alteration shops very often. And when I do get my clothes alter its usually a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance that it’s the way that I want it. Pants hemmed too short or not enough. But here at Attractive Alterations owner & operator, Mrs. Overrein is just awesome! I’ve been there twice and am very happy with the work. I’ve brought my mom & my other half here :)
I’m your average asian girl. That’s a nice way to say that I’m short. So when I shop for clothes, I more the likely run into the same issue. The dress/​pant length is just too long! Even if I wear 4 inch heels there are some pieces of clothing that will just drag & there are just some days where you just want to wear ballet flats with your jeans without having to roll them up once or twice! In my case, sometimes THRICE!
Attractive Alterations is located in the Waimalu shopping center. There is ample parking, but try to park near or around the korean market as the shop is located up on the second floor. You should see the sign right by the stairs. If you’re getting a dress or a pair of jeans hemmed, bring the shoes that you’re going to wear with them to the shop. That way Mrs. Overrein can tailor the clothing to the length that you desire.
Once Mrs. Overrein has your measurements, you don’t need to keep trying on every piece of clothing that you bring. You can just drop off your items to get altered. And here’s the best thing… you can pick up your clothes the very next day!
Now I’ll never have that issue where my pants or dress won’t fit me just because I’m your average asian girl :)
