Coco’s Alterations

I love Coco! I’ve brought everything from uniform shirts and pants to shorts, blouses and slacks. I highly recommend her!

I’ve brought all sorts of alteration needs to Coco and she has never disappointed. I’ve ripped many slim fitting dress pants due to my massive glutes (I do squats) and she has fixed all of them. She is truly gifted at her craft. I don’t really have massive glutes btw but they’ve grown a lot because I work out. And don’t be fooled by her dry sense of humor she is pretty damn funny once you get to know her. Her honesty and straight-​forward-​no-​frills attitude is what makes me a life long customer.

This was my first visit to Coco. She altered my daughters prom dress and did a magnificent job! She did a quick turn around and the price could not be beat. I definitely will return to see Coco.

I’ve gone to Coco for my own clothes as well as with my clients to have their clothes done, and we all love her. She is quick and has a great eye, often knowing just what needs to be done and pinning it before you have to say anything. We have had tops made into skirts, necklines lowered, jackets cropped, a *reversible* leather jacket perfectly tailored and shortened, a lining added to a sheer tank top, you name it. For the reviewers that are unhappy with speed… well, I know how much care she takes with complex alterations for weddings and hard to alter garments, and I’d rather the work be GOOD & affordable rather than fast & cheap. Just text before you come to pick up and you’re fine. Thanks, Coco!

She does a good job on all alterations. I do recommend.

Coco is great! She’s helped me, my friends and cousins alter a couple of bridesmaids dresses and we are forever grateful. Great prices as well. Coming to Coco is way better than getting alterations at David’s Bridal or Alfred Angelo.

Coco is INCREDIBLE! I brought my wedding outfit here to be tailored and she did an incredible job. She was patient, precise and affordable. I went back a few times until she felt it was right. The top and bottom were SO flared originally and much too large for me. She added ribbing to make the top more fitted to my body and made the pants more of a bell bottom instead of such a major flare. She made it EXACTLY what I had been looking for. She is incredible! Definitely see her for any and all tailoring!

Horrible service… She opens and closes when she wants– so Disregard her business hours days and times. I came here twice and each time Coco doesn’t make eye contact, rushes me, tosses the ticket, etc. I agree w the other review that she seriously hates her job and lacks serious personality, let alone professionalism. Forget trying to be friendly or small talk. I gave her 2 tries since the price was reasonable and based on the Unilocal stairs. You get for what you pay for– The seams are crooked and she does not offer to fix them for you.

Coco does an excellent job on her alterations, is quick and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

You know that song, «I’m in love with the coco»? Well that song is about her because she is the best! Haha!
First, I’d like to preface by saying that I am a very short girl and need almost everything altered, so upon moving to SoCal, it was necessary to find a tailor who did quality work at a reasonable price point. This is the place!
I travel a lot for work, and Redondo beach isn’t even my home, and yet I still make it here to get anything altered.
Coco is a genius when it comes to altering dresses. She altered a very expensive Ted baker dress for me. It was too long, and she was able to utilize the zipper on it and hide it in the dress. How amazing! Since then, she’s altered several dresses, and even rushed my scrub pants for me because I needed it for work the next day. Excellent service, quality work, and so cheap! Thank you for everything Coco!

On short notice, Coco made be a beautiful veil for my wedding. I brought her tulle that matched my dress, and she had it ready and perfect in 2 days. Thanks Coco!

Looked around and read all the other reviews. Seemed like a few goods ones in the area but picked Coco’s somewhat randomly from the other good reviews. So glad I did!
Got a few items done over the next few days. Everything was done very well. On time, good fit, reasonable price, great personal service. Everything was perfect and couldn’t ask for anything more.
Actually I got suit done for an upcoming interview and someone else was there for a wedding dress this weekend. Kinda cheesy but I thought it was interesting how big a role tailors and the clothes they alter play such a huge role in our lives.
I will return and would highly recommend to anyone else.

Whenever I need to get an alteration done, I come here. Coco is honest and quite funny once you get to know her. The previous time I came here to get a dress altered for a wedding, she told me it would take longer because she has a lot of prom and wedding guest dresses to alter. I wasn’t in a rush so it wasn’t a big deal but I’m glad she was up front about it. Honesty is important in my book.
This time I came to get a bridesmaid dress altered because the top was too loose and the bottom was a bit too long (even if I were to wear 3 inch heels). The dress was ready on the date she told me it would be (which was about a week from the time I dropped it off) and when I tried it on, it fit almost perfectly. Coco did a great job!
Alterations here can be a bit pricey though and she only accepts cash or check, so make sure to bring your check book in case you don’t have enough cash!

I took a few pants into Coco’s a few months back. Prices were reasonable and she did a great job. Also helped that Coco was very personable and nice. I will continue to go back.

I took my wedding dress to Coco. It was a sample dress so was about 2 sizes too big. She made it fit like a glove after the first fitting. I mean literally it was a glove because it was a fit and flare and hugged all my curves to the point where I was nervous about gaining even two pounds before my wedding. Took two stars off because she takes oddly timed lunch breaks (I came once during her normal hours and she was gone), and I didn’t love the way she did my bustle. I would have preferred a more simple bustle but she did a four-​point one which always looked asymmetric no matter how I tinkered with it. However she is competitively priced and obviously knows what she is doing.

I would give Coco 100 stars if I could. 100 for Coco, you go Coco!
Short Story:
–Very small, modest place that has enough parking and is easy to find.
–Coco always returns my calls quickly
–High quality and creative work
–Cash or check, but honest and prefers not to be paid until job is complete
Long Story:
–I came to her recommended by a close friend with my aunt’s wedding dress that’s over 25 years old. It was preserved and in good condition, however, my aunt was a different body type than me in every way possible. It was sentimental for me to have it be the same dress but still also reflect me.
Not only did Coco alter the dress COMPLETELY to fit my body but she redesigned it to fit my style. She added black bead work, and so many details. I love seeing a creative mind work, and you can tell she knows design well. It blew my entire family away. It. Is. Outstanding. She made my fittings the past 7 months a priority, has a sweet, witty demeanor and business skills I respect. I am using her for everything in my closet and even recommending my snoody Palisades family only go to her from now on.

I love Coco. I had a $ 6k wedding dress that needed some alterations — she did an amazing job. I was nervous to go to anyone, really, but wanted to stay somewhat local and saw her Unilocal reviews. I really loved her personality — she’s witty, and her work is well done and affordable. She has made my wedding easy in this regard — and I feel like with alterations it could so easily go horribly wrong. The alterations at Coco’s has been the only thing to go right so far with my big day!
FYI — Cash or check only.
Thank you Coco — you are the best!

Waste of a week. I would give ZERO stars. I came in early on a Monday leaving two new pair of jeans for just a hem. Didn’t mind the ridiculous $ 12 per pair price and didn’t mind a Friday pick up. Five days should be enough right?
Well Friday comes and they’re not only not done, but she now wants to do a rush job and for me to waste my time coming back in 2 hours. What a crock of sh*t.
I want them done right and I’m going somewhere else.
Add to that this business owner has zero personality and seemed completely annoyed at all times. Lady, you need to get some customer service skills and get your business organized.
I’m not going back and I won’t recommend her to anyone I know. EVER.

Coco is amazing. She is a great tailor and is incredibly kind. She tailored dress pants for me last year which came out great and recently tailored a suit for me and it came out excellent.
I’ve found my tailor for life as long as I live in this area.

The bottom line is, I’m a hard to fit girl. I’m broad shouldered and muscular but my lower body is about half the size of my upper body.
With that being said, pretty much nothing fits me. Nothing.
Well, a fancy occasion is coming up and I was forced to be a big girl and go dress shopping. Hello torture. Anything that fit my shoulders could have easily fit a few of me in the bottom of the dress.
At my wit’s end, I searched Unilocal for alterations places — hoping for magic. I saw the mostly positive reviews for Coco’s Alterations and I headed down there as soon as I got off work.
Coco pinned like crazy and I started feeling like she was making me a whole new dress. I was also nervous that the dress would be skin tight by the time I returned. But I told myself she’s the expert and I needed to trust her.
Coco was very professional and helpful. She saw how overwhelmed I was by this whole dressing up thing and she gave me advice and suggestions. She said I needed a belt with this dress and when I told her I didn’t know where to go get a belt, she said Ross. I went to Ross after I left her store and ended up finding a perfect belt for $ 1.49. Score!
Today, I went to pick up my dress. I was scared it would be too tight and I’d be disappointed. To the contrary, I loved it as much as I am capable of loving a dress.
Thanks to Coco, I finally see the light. This is the end of me wearing ill fitting big girl clothes because I don’t know what else to do.
Thank you, Coco!
