Just Right Size Alteration

We went to this place last Saturday to have my fiancé’s pants altered, we were told the alteration fee cost $ 12 & expect to be completed by Thusday. Before we left, I saw my fiancé gave the lady $ 12 in cash for full payment of alteration.
When I went back earlier today to pick up the pants, the lady was asking payment for alteration fee. I told her that we already paid in cash last Saturday but she still insist for payment. I called my fiancé on the phone, she talked to the lady about the transaction that happened last Saturday but this lady still can’t remember what happened less than 5 days ago & still insist for payment.
Lesson learned & moving on — This will be our first & last time to go to this place for any alteration and share our bad experience about this place to our friends.

The tailor was a sweet Vietnamese lady with an honest option. I really liked working with her and the alteration was done as promised. We went back and forth on how to alter my suit sleeves to the the tricky nature of the buttons. In the end, she recommended that I keep a little longer length so as not not move the buttons. I got the suit back and the suit was a great fit. Turn time for this was about 5 business days, which is pretty reasonable. Great pricing too.

Pros:
–close to my house
–very inexpensive
–nice
–good quality
Cons:
–turn around time on hemming can take a week… but not a big problem for me. I’m sure you can ask them for faster turn around.

I wouldn’t go here. Price is cheap. The owner does alteration, but she always made it shorter then where she marks it or pins it. Two weeks ago I got a brand new white shirt, got alteration to make it shorter (Paid $ 12) and had it dry clean. When I came to pick it up, there where a lot of black stains on it. She said she would redo or pay me back the shirt that I paid for. Never got a call from her. I have to called twice for follow up. On the phone she said the stains in lighthen up and hardly noticeable. When I got there to look at the shirt. The shirt had be thought a lot of fixing/​wash I could tell from looking at it. Stains still there noticeable, and white is not white any longer. Be a honest business owner and doing right business would get you far then money could. I hate it when she told me who fault it is. I don’t really care. I’m doing business with her not the place she sent it to. Big fat disappointment! I got the alteration money back and the money I paid for the shirt. Do you think when she paid for the damaged of the shirt. She has the right to kept the shirt? I was debating with her for awhile on who get to keep the shirt. I told her that I rather not take the money and have my oringnal shirt back. I wasn’t selling the shirt because the money I got back, I could buy it back anyway. I was hoping to take it to the Korean’s place and have them try. She was unreasonable and I didn’t want to stand there and be upset. I just let her keep the shirt. I’ve leaned not to do business with uneducated people, because they’re so unreasonable. Pay a little more then rather not deal with being mad. You can’t judge a business till when something bad happen and how the owner deals with the situation. Yes, price has to be good, services has be awesome, but the most important is how the business handle the situation when the situation needed a attention. Service is ok, price is good, but owner handle my situation fail! I wouldn’t go there again, because I don’t want to be upset if this ever happen again. You just never know…

This place is tiny, but it gets the work done! It’s family owned so there’s usually one or two people doing all the work. Wait time can be up to a few days. I’ve never had my clothes with alteration work given to back to me on the same day. I’ve been here a few time to hem some jeans and they do a great job with sewing the original hem back on. You can also request her to fit your jeans perfectly (she can tighten the area around your thighs!)
It is cash only and I didn’t know, but surprisingly, she just asked for whatever cash I had in my purse and she called it even! Awesome.

I use them a lot when I need some alteration done on my dresses. I also use their dry cleaning service as well. Good price and friendly.

Used to go here a few years back for all my dry cleaning needs. You just can’t beat the price 2.50/pc for dry cleaning… I think dresses are little bit more, like 3.50. I never had any major problems with their work or lost clothes – but they flat pressed over the crease in my slacks, which was a little annoying and I had to keep reminding them. I stopped going because of their cash only policy… I would go back if I could remember to keep cash on me.

This is a husband and wife owned business. The wife, Hau, does most of the alterations. HAU IS GREAT!!! I bring EVERYTHING to her… from jeans, slacks, sweaters, dresses, jackets, and even furniture covering! She can sew anything!!! She does the best jeans hem with «original» hem sewed back on. Very CLEAN work! They also do dry cleaning here for reasonable prices. I recommend going to HAU for your alteration needs! :)
Minus one star because it is a CASH ONLY place.

I’ve been going around to several alteration shops and none accepted the task of taking out my dress. I was really disappointed but nonetheless I stopped at this little whole in the wall Vietnamese place. I was skeptical (and scared) when the lady started ripping apart my dress to inspect it, however she said it’d be possible. I came back 3 days later delighted to see my dress fit perfectly. They told me they’re capable of altering anything.

The lady who hemmed my shirt did great a job and she did it in less than 24 hours. I did not have to pay in advance.

Updating my review after reading someone else who went after me saying they didn’t have to pre-​pay. Any place, that treats people differently (aka discriminating) goes on my sh1t list.

First, they require you to pay when you drop it off. I’ve never seen a cleaner that requires pre-​payment. Seems odd since if they mess up your stuff or lose it, you already paid… Plus since they’re cash only, be ready when you drop off your stuff.
Stuff was done on time but the turnaround time seems a bit slow (3 biz days or so?) for laundry. It was faster (2 days) for getting a pair of jeans hemmed. The hem job (original hem) seems fine ($ 12) and the shirts I laundered came back fine as well.
They are not exactly friendly though, otherwise would have gotten like 3.5 stars.

Bless their little vietnamese hearts. I always have a quick chuckle when I see fobbiness breathe through to print: «Just Right Size» rather than «Just the Right Size». Oh me love you long time JRS.
Hands down the cheapest dry cleaners in the North SJ area. Now cheap doesn’t necessarily translate to quality, and you should be hesitant when trusting your fine threads; however, I’ve been here 10 times now and I’ve never had any issues.
Laundered & pressed shirts — $ 1.10 each
Dry-​cleaned pants/​tops — $ 2.50 each
Suits — 6.50 each
I’ve also had some slacks altered here and I’d have to agree with Zona that you’ll want them to mark up the hem a little past where you want the actual hem.
Cash only and Sundays are the only day they are closed. For all my laundry, I’ve always had it returned in 4 days.

they do a great job of hemming denim and keeping the «original» hem. this means taking off the bottom of the jean and reattaching it after shortening the length. i brought in a pair of true religions and these had the stitching that is very difficult to replicate. they came back looking perfect. i brought in a few more pairs, and they all turned out great. they also do a decent job on regular alterations. some places may tell you they do the «original» hem, but they actually just keep the hem, but use different stitching.
prices are reasonably low, and turnaround time is about 2 business days. remember to bring cash only.

This is where I take all my stuff to be hemmed, rivets to be reattached.
They do a pretty good job. If you have them hem your jeans or khakis, be sure to remind them to reattach the bottom so it doesn’t look like you did them yourself! And they do it. Oh and go a little past where you want the actual hem to be, because for some reason, it seems shorter than where it was pinned???
I think it was about $ 8 – 10 per pair of pants to be hemmed.
Cash only.
