One Hour Alterations

I came here because I needed a simple, cotton, jersey-​like dress to be hemmed by the same day.
I tried on the dress and let the lady know that I wanted it to be short up to my mid-​thigh. When I got the dress back, my mistake was not trying it on. It looked fine when I held it up but when I tried it on at home, it was definitely way too short. It was shorter than mid-​thigh and if I were to bend over even slightly, my panties would show. I have to wear shorts under my dress now. There really isn’t anything I can do to my dress now =(
I thought $ 10 was a bit pricey for a simple hem and I didn’t expect to pay more than $ 6 – 7 really… My advice would to show them about 1 – 2 inches longer than how you actually want it to be cut.

If you need work done right come here. Affordable and friendly staff ! I got my pants tailored for same day pickup.

First time here and I was very pleased. The ladies were very helpful and willing to make even the smallest adjustments. I explained to them my vision and sure enough they guaranteed me the look I was going for. My shorts are now form fitting and I love them! *Bonus– they are flexible & will be urgent if need be.

This is my first time here and as I’m writing this review I’m currently inside the business.
So from what I see so far, one of my skirts has been done and the quality looks amazing. However, the reason I’m still here is because they haven’t event started on my second one. They asked me to sit and wait for 10 – 20 minutes and I’m okay with it because I don’t have work till 5:30.
However, the reason they don’t get 4 or 5 stars is because they asked if I was going to pick it up Thursday at 10 am or 11 AM and I said yes. The fact I came here at 1:45 PM over 2 – 3 hours over when I was designated to pick it up and it’s still not ready irks me.
The quality is good, however the professionalism in regards to keeping their word when things will be finished wouldn’t hurt either.
Pricing:
Skirt that has tull with 3 layers cost $ 15 to hem
Skirt that’s pleated with two layers cost $ 20 to hem

What can I say? They’re called 1 hour alterations and they were done within an hour. Took my slacks in for a simple hemming to shorten it by 1 inch. It was done quickly and cost me less than an extra value meal at McDonald’s.

I totally would have given this place 5 stars if my 2 items could have been done in an hour. I have to admit I did come on a busy Saturday but she told me my items would not be finished until Thursday. I was leaving out of town and needed them no later than Wednesday, so she told me I could pick them up Tuesday. She allowed me to try on my skirts and she pinned them as needed. When I picked them up on Tuesday they looked perfect. A little side note, she only accepts cash. I will be bringing back any other items that need alterations but just beware it may not be done in an hour.

I found this place on Unilocal quite some time ago. I had a last minute interview and One Hour saved me. It was not quite an hour, but I still received my clothes back within the day. She was friendly, reasonably priced, and did a great job! Thank you!

Wonderful experience! Came in with some jeans to be hemmed. They first told me it would take a couple hours, which was fine, but when I mentioned I didn’t live in the area, they told me to wait 20 minutes and it would be done.
They were all very friendly and did an excellent job on the jeans. It was only $ 6 for a regular hem, but I gave her a little extra for the quick service. Highly recommended!

One of the best dress alteration experiences I’ve ever had. I’m short so a lot of the dresses I buy always end at an awkward length for me. I’ve been to so many places. Most of them get the job done, but I always have to come back at least one day later, never left quite satisfied or felt like I got my money’s worth until I came here.
So today I desperately needed a delicate dress hemmed so I could wear it to my SoCal trip tomorrow. I decided to take a chance and do a walk in here since it’s called «One Hour Alterations». The place is quite easy to find (its a little house right on king road near tully). I came in at 5:45 and they were able to hem my dress by 7pm (when they closed). The seamstress I talked with was very nice and polite, she didn’t complain at all that I was arriving so close to their closing time.
The whole process itself was really quick and easy too. I put my dress on and told them how short I wanted it. The seamstress safety pinned it there and that was it! I ended up paying $ 20 for the service before I left. I went to grab some boba milk tea down the street and came back a bit early at around 6:45. I was surprised to see that had finished hemming my dress. They really are a place that can do alterations in an hour! Upon further examination I found that they did such a great job, it looked like my dress hadn’t been altered at all! Aside from that they also took the liberty of ironing it so all the wrinkles my had when I first gave it to them were gone and they hung it up for me until I came back to get it. Definitely a great experience and a very affordable price. I’ll be sure to come back again for my future alteration needs!

Just had a bad and annoying experience at this place. Came in on a Wednesday morning thinking I can have same day pick up like the name said within an hr. The woman working there said how busy she was and asked if I can come back on Friday, then changed her mind and said Thursday. It was just for hemming a shirt (one line) at the front and she charged me $ 6, which is fine since it was near my house.
I came back the next day at the same time like she asked and it was unfinished. She showed me where she was going to hem it and asked me to wait around while she finished it. It was ok, ended up waiting in my car cuz the place kinda had a funky smell of spoiled food.
Got my shirt and left, never coming back due to the bad service. Don’t understand why if it took her 10 mins in the first place that I could have just have waited around the first day and not drive back and forth. Stay true to your mmkay?! I run a lot of errands stacked up in the morning.

Friendly, fast and reasonably priced alterations. I get all our pants hemmed there for only $ 6. I only recommend them for alterations not custom design they lack skills in this area. Alteration work is perfect!

My family and I have been getting pants hemmed here for years.
This place is awesome. Super reliable, fast and friendly service.
This is a one hour alteration place, but when she asks you when you need them done, if you really need them in an hour, she’ll get them done. But must people have things altered and won’t pick up for a couple of days.
She charges $ 6 to hem pants, $ 7 if they are pants with double lining.
There is a little dressing room where you can change into your pants so she can check the drop of your pants. If you wear heels, make sure to bring them with you to make sure of the length.
For men, bring in your dress shoes so that you can get the proper break that you want for yourself. *Note that by default she hems mens suit /​dress pants to a full break. So if you want a different break, like a half or quarter break, let her know, and maybe bring in a pic to show her an example.
So far, I haven’t had anything else hemmed or altered here, but if I ever do, I will go here first because she does great work, is always on time, and the prices are very very cheap!
Also, I think it’s CASH only, so be prepared. But you can always pay when you pickup your finished garments.

Friendly and fast service at a great price!

Cheap, fast, and good quality.
I had been wanting to get some pants hemmed for over a year, well finally one day I drove by One Hour Alterations and dropped them off. The seamstress had me try on the pants just to show her what length I wanted the pants.
I showed her and she told me it was going to be $ 6 and they would be ready by Monday (I dropped them off on a Saturday right before they closed.) I was very surprised but how fast they turned around the clothes.
I picked up the pants and you couldn’t even tell they had been hemmed they looked like new and that’s the length that they were originally in.
I would highly recommend that this place for pants hemming, I can’t comment on other services.

I first called to see i they were able to make a dress shorter for me because many bridal stores said its a lot of work and really hard to do. The owner of the shop said «i could do anything.» and she did made my dress shorter! It was hard because it was a dress with tulle on the bottom. Originally she wanted to charge me $ 45 for makig it shorter and steaming it but she ended up giving me a discount to $ 35. The dress came out amaaaazzzing! The location isn’t so great, but totally worth it!

REALLY CHEAP, GOOD QUALITY ALTERATIONS!
I’ve been going here for a few years now and never had any problem. It is a family home business (literally speaking), because the garage of the house is converted to be this business. Nonetheless, don’t let this divert you to not give this place a chance if you’re looking for good quality and very reasonable/​cheap priced alterations.
The Vietnamese lady/​owner is really nice. They do speak English, as well as Chinese (I found this out when one of the girl working there spoke Cantonese to me after she assumed I was Vietnamese and I told her I’m not). Their low prices haven’t changed since I started going here and this may be why they are able to keep such a busy flow of business, despite the economic recession we are still facing.
This home business has very limited street parking due to being on the busy King Road traffic of East Side SJ. It is still best to try and find street parking, as opposed to simply driving into the driveway, because backing out into the busy King Road traffic when leaving is not that easy and especially after the sun sets in the evening.
If you’re like me, who supports small family-​owned businesses, I definitely recommend this place. =)

love love love this place! $ 6 for regular hem, $ 9 for original hem. I previously went to a place in Sunnyvale that charged more and was so unhappy. I had One Hour Alterations do a regular hem on my jeans, while my sister had them do an original hem on hers. We picked up our jeans and they both looked perfect, like we just bought them at the store! As for being a one hour alterations place, I don’t think that’s possible because of how busy they are, but most likely you’ll be able to pick them up the same day.

This is my go to place to get anything and everything fixed. My entire family have brought their things here to get fixed. The location itself is a house and yes, its technically in the garage area and yes its GHETTO! But who cares… the owner is super nice and she never tries to rip you off and she does excellent work!
Here’s a list of things I’ve had her alter:
–Designer jeans w/​the original hem
–Designer jeans w/​out the original hem
–Sleeves that were too long and needed to be shortened
–Scrub pants that needed to be shortened
–Boot cut jeans that I wanted to turn into straight leg jeans by taking the seams in.
She usually charges me $ 6 for shortening and $ 10 for original hem
Bottom line, she does great work and doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg and you walk out happy! :) Love this place. Hasn’t gone sour yet!
Oh by the way, since the location itself is directly on King parking can be horrendous so be careful folks!
