Daimy’s Alterations & Shoe Repair

Daimy is incredible! I ordered 2 pairs of jeans that I absolutely LOVED but were way too long and way too loose on me. I called Daimy to find out her rate and her turnaround time. Both were amazing! Extremely well priced and she was able to have the jeans finished even before I needed them! On my way in, Daimy recognized my voice from the phone call and greeted me by name from the very first day onwards. She had me try the jeans on with the shoes I usually wear so she could pin them to shorten and taper the jeans to my liking. As I was leaving, she noticed the different type of jeans that I was wearing and asked if I liked that fit. When I told her yes, she went above and beyond by offering to take measurements from those jeans too so that the jeans she was performing the alterations on would be perfectly to my liking. I could not be any happier with the way that they turned out! Not only is she extremely proficient, diligent, and skilled; but she is also extremely friendly and accommodating. I won’t even consider going back to any other tailor in the future. I’ll be sure everyone that I know is aware of what a true hidden gem this place is! Thanks again, Daimy!

I have no complaints whatsoever. Daimy is sweet, personable and does excellent, fairly priced alterations too! I definitely recommend!

Daimy was great. I needed to get some shoes repaired before a big trip. The day before we left (when I was supposed to pick them up) I completely spaced it (even *after* Daimy had texted me and called me). She was so accommodating that she opened up early so I could get them the next morning and still make my flight. The work was great and the customer service was above and beyond expectations. Thanks Daimy!

I had a tear in some suede work shoes and came here for shoe repair. My shoes looked pretty hopeless and Daimy was very honest about what could be done and what it would look like (there would be no miracle fix). She quoted me $ 15, which seemed doable to me, so I gave it a shot.
I got my shoes back today and they came out exactly as expected. The price ended up being less than what I was originally quoted and I was glad I decided to come here instead of giving up on the shoes.
Daimy was very sweet and a pleasure to work with. She had an energy about her that I really liked. I definitely know who I’ll go to if I ever need alterations.

Bad customer service! I am Not sure how good she can do her job. One star was given to her bad attitude!

Doesn’t get any better than this. Daimy took the time to explain to me the different processes and styles of altering my suits and really takes the time to get to know her customers. She doesn’t rush anyone out of her store, even though she’s extremely busy, and makes sure that they know what they’re asking for. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in the area and need to get something altered!

Came here at 5pm when the store closed at 5:30pm for a last minute hemming and tapering of my work pants. Daimy was kind enough to take the job and stay in until 6 to finish! She has the experience and the professionalism when it comes to tailoring. Just from telling her what I wanted to do, she was able to deliver. She is a sweet lady who takes pride in her work and her customers can agree. For the last minute hemming and tapering, the job came out to $ 39. I originally went to Manuels down the street and they were not able to fulfill my request and I’m glad I ended up here. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ I recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!

I had my dress shoes glued here. It was very affordable and they did a good job. It took two tries because the cobbler did not glue a small area on the shoe the first time but they rectified their mistake when I returned and pointed it out. The owner is a bit gruff but honest.

I simply love this place, and the lady who runs it is just magnificent.
I found her from trusting other Unilocalers reviews, plus the proximity to my house.
She has worked on about 5 clothing items and had her shoe guy help her with fixing a few pairs of boots for me. Wonderful job on all.
I would say her service is above average because compared to other alterations places she truly goes out of her way to accommodate just what you need.
I do not know how to gauge the price point, since I couldn’t estimate expected pricing ahead of time for these alterations. Knowing that I don’t have the skills nor a working modern sowing machine to fix things myself, I’d rather trust Daimy.
She even mentioned that I can always bring in items she fixed to go back and make minor changes if needed for no cost (these were the already paid for services mind you). She really does care about you as a person and does her best to help you out. I do believe it’s truly above average service.
Only other paralleled experience was Lee’s Alterations in Carmel-​by-​the-​Sea, CA
Much love, keep on jive-​n’ there Daimy. You rock

AMAZING! I went to Manuels down the street to get the zipper on the back of my dress fixed– the lady stared at me and told me it would take 10 days and would have to order a new zipper. So i took it to Daimy’s and she fixed it on the spot! No new zipper needed– just had to tighten the clasp! And best part, she did it for FREE! Such a nice woman and I HIGHLY recommend going to her in the future!

Daimy has altered countless items for me. She also did a flawless job altering my sisters wedding dress on a tight timeline. Daimy is a sweet lady who takes pride in her work and will put in an extra day’s work to meet an important deadline. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I came to Daimy for shoe repair on some heels that had come apart. When I entered the shop, everything was nice and clean and she was helping another customer. As I waited for her to help the customer, you could tell the customer had been coming to Daimy for years. They argued a little, so I wasn’t to sure how my experience would be. I was hoping it was just aggravation of a nit-​picky longtime customer.
When it was my turn, she was fast and prompt on his much the job would cost and when it would be ready. However, I didn’t realize it was cash only and my experience is that you pay at the end when you pick up your items. However, Daimy insisted I leave a 10 $ deposit. When I said, I don’t have cash, can I pay when I pick them up she said no. When I asked her where a near ATM was she said idk. Clearly, she didn’t care about assisting me or she was frustrated from the previous customer. Either way, her customer service was not very good.
Upon pick up, the customer service was much better and my shoes looked brand new. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt in this review, hoping that she was just in a bad mood due to her previous customer and that she does not treat everyone in that manner. I am pleased with how much shoes look, but I am hoping to find someone else to do my shoes that is a little more respectful.
Customer service– 1 star
Service for shoe repair-​5 stars

I had gone to another individual who has people working for him who do alterations and they did just so-​so work and, at the time, it was fine considering the quality of the items I took to him. However, the time came when I had to get my best shirts, sweaters, and pants altered and I just couldn’t bring myself to take them to him because I knew the work would not be what I want given the quality of these items. Fortunately, through Unilocal,I found Daimy and quite simply, she is the best! Daimy does the most meticulous, high-​quality work I have ever seen and she notices and pays attention to the smallest of details! She was able to alter my shirts, sweaters, and pants so I got the fit I was looking for and much to my surprise, the way she was able to uniquely customize the fit to me, people have repeatedly asked me where I buy my clothes and how they can get them (funny, they never asked me that before I had my clothes altered by Daimy). When it comes to doing the alteration, I’ve never found anyone who does it more professionally than Daimy: she does a first fitting with you by taking-​in the fabric at the places you need it done in accordance with the style you want to achieve (she will even help you as far as what best suits your body type). She then has you come back for a second fitting to make sure the clothing is being altered the way you want it altered. If there are any changes that need to be made, she works with you to make these changes in this second fitting. After this second fitting, she usually has everything she needs to complete the alteration (I’ve never had to go in for a third fitting) and, a week later, you get your clothes finished just the way you want them … perfect! Given Daimy’s exceptional work, her very reasonable prices, and her accessibility (she goes out of her way to make herself available for you, your alterations, and when you need them done), Daimy is, simply, the best there is!

Alterations are excellent and Daimy has restored several outfits to like new. Shoe repair is also outstanding. Very professional and accomplished no matter how difficult the challenge. Tuxedo with vests successfully refitted after 10 years. Both men and womens’ wear tailored to perfection.

Daimy is just amazing! I brought in my wedding gown to fix the length and it was a hard job because it has lace all over the length and in the train. She did an amazing job and I’m really happy with it. Plus, she is such a sweetheart and made me feel really comfortable. Surely she is the best in this area!

I brought in my favorite jacket that was frayed around the edges but still had lots of life and slyly left in it. Daimy went out of her way to locate the perfect fabric that matched the material and matched the stitches such that the coat is better than new. What fine quality and value!

Daimy was very helpful and accommodating. I took my bridesmaid dress in to be taken in and she did an excellent job. She had me come in for a fitting before she finished to make some last minute adjustments. I was able to get the dress back within a couple weeks & it fit perfectly.

I have taken work to Daimy’s for many years. S she always does a superb job on the alterations, is a joy to interact with and items are ready for pickup as scheduled. Recently Daimy did alternations for my daughter’s prom dress. She did an excellent job on the delicate dress, made some suggestions to improve the look and completed the job quickly. I highly recommend her for all alteration jobs — from a simple hem to a formal occasion dress.

My husband and I have used Daimy many times over the past year. She’s the best! She did very intricate work on my daughter’s wedding gown and my Mother-​In-​Law dress and did a perfect job! It is hard to put your expensive clothing into the hands of someone you’ve never used but Daimy really knows what’s she’s doing and you can’t even tell anything’s been changed. She also helped with some curtains at my husband’s office and she did a great job there. Likewise she helped me with some alterations on my work suits and it’s perfect. She works very hard to do it right and make you happy. She’s very punctual and her prices are very reasonable! Plus she’s just a doll! Going to the tailor is so fun now! Thanks Daimy!

Daimy can do anything! I have been going to her for probably 5 years and take everything to her. I have even taken dresses that I hated the cut and style but loved the fabric and she has altered it to fit me perfectly and it look great. I highly recommend her to everyone I know!
