Alterations To Go

Sad to announce her retirement due to her health!!! Now we will have to find someone just as good. She was a very pleasant women and did a fantastic job.

Mai does an outstanding job, and I’ve had some very complicated things. One job she didn’t want to do and had me return to the vendor to get it done. Everything else she’s done beautifully, and it’s always ready when I arrive. In fact, usually she has it done early. She’s done quite a bit of work for me in the last year. Mai says she’s going to retire one of these days. I’m really going to miss her when she does.
I can’t say enough positive things about her! Don’t hesitate to go.

Mai is the sweetest lady who has 15+ years of experience in this business. She is so kind and accommodating of your needs (especially turnaround time, which can’t be beat… I’ve looked around and compared!) and even offers advice on what length to hem garments (I had a pair of jeans hemmed). Remember to bring cash — for her timeliness, fast turnaround time, and great service, the prices are very fair.

Love Alterations To Go. I had two pairs of pants hemmed in only a couple of hours. I almost don’t want to tell others how quickly it got done because it’s a one-​person operation, and when I was there she had a lot of customers. I don’t know how she does it. I’ll be going there the next time I need my pants altered.

We had three pairs of ladies pants hemmed here and it went perfectly. The lady was super nice and was very fast! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my friends.

Went to Mai at Alterations To Go for the first time yesterday. I brought her a pair of pants that I had ordered online that were WAY too big. I didn’t have time to exchange them before the event I bought them for, so I went to Mai instead. She said they were 2 sizes too big and ended up taking in 3 inches in the waist and tapering both legs substantially. Her work was fast (under 4 hours for a pretty major project) and flawless! They fit me perfectly and she did a beautiful job.
I’m astounded at the negative reviews on here. Maybe «Alterations To Go» is not the place to bring a wedding dress? Since her business is about quick alterations, she probably turned the job away because she’d be unable to meet the needs of other customers while working on a larger project. I found her professional, skilled, prompt, and friendly. Highly recommend!

I have used Alteration to go previously to hem my husbands pants. Guess this is all she wants to do now. I was very happy with her work, so I chose to go back to her with a more complicated project.
I had a custom vow renewal dress made for me through ETSY and the waist was short. I need the waist lengthened and I had fabric.
She flatly refused, said too much work.
Yes the bottom half had to be hand removed. I was willing to pay for her time.
Wants pants shortened? OK, much else, look elsewhere.

Great place for alterations! Very professional. I Brought my Miss Me jeans in the day b4 Xmas eve and they were done in one hour ;) very happy with the results! I Will definitely come back in the future for other alterations.

I moved to Santa Rosa recently and was searching for someone to alter my pants (make them shorter). I was impressed by Mai’s work! She works out of her house which is very quaint and cute. I had two pants shortened and they are perfect. A little more on the pricey side but so worth it for the the job to be done correctly the first time! And she finished them in a shorter amount of time than most others I have been to.

I followed the positive Unilocal reviews and went here to get a skirt hemmed. Big mistake. I should have known that something was off when she asked for the money before doing the job. $ 20 to shorten a skirt, and she simply took scissors to it and cut; the work wasn’t finished or hemmed in any way. And she initially wanted $ 25 for it! Now I have to go somewhere else now to get it finished. I really advise everyone to STAY AWAY!

I found my seamstress! Very nice lady who works out of her home. Prices are very reasonable. Quality work and very speedy! I will most definitely be back! (Heads up: cash only!)

First time getting alterations done — the lady was very friendly and helpful. Incredibly fast service and reasonable rates.

Incredible. Had some designer jeans that needed to be hemmed; 4.5 inches off each leg. Called her at 2pm on a Thursday, she said to come over, found her house (blue sign for the business is on the house), she measured me up, and had my $ 230 jeans perfectly altered for $ 15 cash… in forty five minutes. Even in NYC, it took 4 days to get jeans back. Will be using Alterations To Go from now on. Can’t believe I was able to get such a professional job done for such a reasonable rate, all while I went grocery shopping.

Very quality hem on my jeans. Better than Nordstrom. Oh and if you want an $ 8 shirt alteration, buy a shirt that fits you at Ross first.

I love Alterations To Go! Heard about the place from a friend and I have been very pleased. Mai is very nice and does a wonderful job. She’s also super quick and affordable. I’ve taken several pairs of designer jeans (R&R, 7’s, Joe’s, Hudson) to be altered and Mai does an excellent job of matching the thread and stitch. I’ve also taken some of my husband’s jeans and chinos to her and he’s always very happy with the end result. She does her work out of her home and she is always very sweet and welcoming. I don’t know what I’m going to do if/​when she stops doing alterations.

I love them… got 2 pairs of my fav jeans to be fixed and it was 20 even! Now I have no holes in the crotch area… YAHOO!!! They even had me come in on a SATURDAY to drop them off cause of my busy schedule!!! They are wonderful and would totally send my friends to them!

i called and asked how much to alter a shirt, she quoted me $ 35 ???
WOW, cost $ 8+ in SF

Amazing alterations… very trustworthy! It’s like you have your own personal tailor. Highly recommended and incredibly sweet woman!

Love this place! She does good work and is very affordable! She will get your tailoring done fast if you need it right away! She works from her home but it is a very comfortable environment! She even saved me money by suggesting less expensive ways for my dress to be tailored! 5 star rating!

Mai Phan (her first name is pronounced «my») of Alterations To Go has been my alterations lady for years. She is professional and very nice. Her prices are reasonable and there is usually a very fast turnaround. She uses professional equipment including a serger, which means she can alter stretchy fabric. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended !!!
