Flavio’s Tailoring & Alterations

I brought in a dress that I messed up, that I thought couldn’t be fixed, AND that I needed by Saturday when I rushed in 15 minutes before closing on a Wednesday night. She not only fixed my dress, it was done Friday afternoon, and it cost less than she quoted. I could not have been happier! Highly recommended!

I had my tux jacket sleeves shortened at Flavios. The work was done well and completed on time. The lady helping us was very nice. Her sitting area does need some updating though.

I have used the Flavio’s in Camarillo on several occasions for a suit and slack alterations. I can honestly state that they have done a good job on most of the work that they have done for me.
Unfortunately I was a little disappointed today due to the fact that they were closed. I would hope that going forward they would post something on their website about being closed for x number of days.

Lady quick to charge to shorten shirt. 3 – 4 day pick up. Wasn’t ready when agreed. Noticed shirt in back room table and had not been cut. Was told to return 10 – 15 min later. Agreed– I returned later & shirt was finished. Thread didn’t match seam or other stiches tho! Mediocre job! Excess material not trimmed neatly either. Lady used wrong color of thread. She made me out to feel that the distinction in color was «no big deal». Well, i have standards! And told her so. It’s a BIG deal to me (work shirt). And i resent having my opinion watered-​down as if it doesn’t matter! Said she could look for another thread, but if she didn’t have matching color she would have to keep shirt for next week pick-​up & go to the store to sesrch & buy the thread. Ended up picking up shirt the following day. Lady made good on work. Shirt looked good, excess material neatly trimmed & color thread match was good! I wonder if she made good on the job because of the logo/​seal on my shirt and potential loss off customers… Shady.
CAUTION!!! NOTE: check out the photos of the trash can. Can’t help but to wonder if my personal info was tossed in that trash can. After all, name & number was on the receipt…

They are extremely nice here. I had a suit given to me from my dad and they were able to make it my own! It was comfortable and fit great. Don’t be afraid to tell them what you want or if you don’t like the way they pin it. And don’t suck in your gut.

I took my wedding dress in after getting a botched job the first time. From the moment i I walked in i was greeted with a smile. Eny the owner was so nice and knew exactly what to do. Not only was it ready in a week the price was amazing since she had to remove beading. I am beyond happy I found flavios and will definitely recommend friends and family here not to mention I will be back for any alteration needs!

My husband bought a new suit at the Camarillo outlets and the salesman recommended Flavio’s as the trousers needed to be shortened and my husband did not have a lot of time before he needed to wear the suit. The people at Flavio’s were very friendly and understanding and did the alterations within 2 days. Since then we’ve been back with other alterations, some of them tricky, and they’ve all come back immaculate. We live in Thousand Oaks and I’d use Flavio’s all the time if it wasn’t for the distance but I still seek them out if its an important repair.

I had the most amazing experience with the owner of this shop.
I sold a coat on eBay and as I was packing it, I discovered that the shoulder seam was open. The buyer was counting on wearing it on her birthday day after next. When I explained my dilemma, she said she could have it ready at 3 p.m. in time for me to get it to Fed Ex. It was already close to ll a.m. It was ready as promised, the cost $ 18 which was very reasonable since she had to open the hem to get to the shoulder seam. She even helped fold and place it in the box.
If I could give her 6 stars, I would. Oh, and my buyer is tap dancing happy to be getting her coat on time.
It was a pleasure to do business with this shop and the very gracious owner.

I had a few $ 2000+ designer suits I had originally wanted to take to a top tailor in LA just to be certain alterations would be on point as I like a very slim fit. Due to time constraints on travel I couldn’t make it out and had to bring them to a place in the VTA area. I found this place on Unilocal,called to see if they could do day of service, which they could, and brought them in. Was slightly worried it wasn’t going to fit as tight as I wanted, but when I came back to try it on I was astonished. I had a speaking engagement the next day to a crowd of 10,000 attendees and after so many people were complimenting me on my jacket and on being the sharpest looking speaker that evening. I have very peculiar taste and it’s such a relief to have found a reliable tailor in the VC area that knows my style and delivers every time. Thank you Flavios. I truly truly appreciate your work!
Oh! And I almost forgot, their prices or so damn cheap!

I have been going to Flavio’s for approximately 10 years or so. I would not switch them for the world. They do an outstanding job and their prices are very affordable for the quality work they do. I recommend them to all my friends, family and colleagues.

I normally have my shirts altered at Holiday Cleaners, but after my father recommended Flavio’s and consulting Unilocal,I took four shirts into Flavio’s for alternations. The quote was $ 68 for all four shirts. Holiday would have charged me $ 80. Plus, I had a coupon for a discount of 10%. I was a little nervous about trusting my clothes to a different tailor, but the woman who pinned the shirts seemed very competent and listened to what I wanted. She gave me confidence in her and the price was good, so I gave Flavio’s a chance.
When I picked up the shirts today, a young lady (not the woman I mentioned above) charged my purchase to my credit card. When I put the receipt into my wallet, I saw my coupon, realizing that I forgot to give it to her. When I presented the coupon she said, «It is too late, but you can use it next time.» Normally, I would take issue with such stupidity, but I had a headache and did not feel like fighting with her for $ 6.80. So I am making my experience known on Unilocal instead. I regret not asking her name, so I could warn other Unilocalers (and her boss, if he reads this) accordingly. I do not know whether she was too lazy to process the refund, too poorly-​trained to know how, or too stupid to calculate 10% or simply ask for help. Judging by the look on her face, I think she was just too lazy.
I won’t be back to Flavio’s. The unfortunate part is that I actually think they did a better job on my shirts than Holiday does. The shirts fit very nicely. I would like to use Flavio’s again, but I hate having to give my money to lazy, poorly-​trained, and/​or stupid people. There has to be a place in town that does quality tailoring at a fair price while honoring its own coupons.

I take all my alterations to Flavio’s. Eny is great and the prices are very reasonable. She has done SEVERAL complicated alterations for me and it has always turned out great!

I brought in two leather jackets to have the sleeves shortened. They did a great job. One jacket is white with thick Grey stitching and they matched it perfectly at the cuffs. I thought the price was very reasonable and I’m really happy with the results. I’ll be bringing more clothes to them in the future.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Do NOT go to Flavio’s because
1. Flavio’s overcharges you
2. Flavio’s has very bad customer service
Allow me to elaborate.
I brought my suit in 3 weeks ago and we agreed to alterations on my slacks and my jacket for $ 35. When I came today, I expected my suit to be finished.
However, when I showed up she said she had not be able to complete the alterations. She said that she did not accurately mark where the alteration to my jacket was to be and that she could not call me because she lost the slip of paper that had my number on it. She said that she would finish it though.
I left but came back because I realized that she did not have my number again. She said that the alterations would cost $ 48 more because she did not account for another alteration she needed to do. ???
Does she know what she is doing? She should have known that when she quoted me the price. Had she quoted me that price before, I would not have left my suit there.
I was incensed. It was not the first time she had overcharged me before. She overcharged me on some pants she modified.
Lesson: DO NOT GO HERE. She tries to overcharge you and she is badly organized.

I made an appointment at noon. When I get there the small room was full of people with two people in the dressing rooms. She didn’t even acknowledge me. I sat and sat and couldn’t take the rudeness anymore. So I just left. She probably didn’t even notice. Why make appointments with people???

Great people! They were able to fix my suit in both the jacket and pants. They were friendly and offered suggestions.

Great local find! They are altering a wedding dress that I bought at a sample sale. Cost is very reasonable and they spent quality time with me discussing the alterations and pinning. Many people came in and out while I was there… think I found a real local gem. I’ll update the post when I get the dress back next week

Seriously great work!

flavio used to be the master tailor at Giorgio Armani In Beverly Hills. I was referred to him by the GA Store In Camarillo, and I must say, he is the best! His wife works there with him (Eny — Pronounced like thw word Any) They are honest, hard working, and do the best work I have ever seen. I highly recommend them!
