Absolute Alterations

Brought a suit in to be tailored. While the quality was good (just some minor adjustments) I found it to be wildly overpriced, at least double what the current market rate is for the amount of work that needed to be done. Perhaps this is because I opened my stupid mouth and said «oh, it’s for a wedding», which resulted in price gouging, or perhaps this is just the rate they charge regardless. Either way, I give 3 stars as cost is a very important factor in this type of business, and there are competitors in the area with more reasonable price ranges. Won’t be returning I’m afraid.

This place was absolutely amazing! They hemmed our drapes. I just knew they were too long and my wife and I needed them fixed. The ladies were easy going, very knowledgable, the price was right and they put my mind at ease. I say that because I know nothing about drapes and alterations. Don’t look anywhere else. Go here!

Manijeh altered my bridesmaid dress and did such a wonderful job! love her!

Manijeh saved me! I had an important wedding to go to and of course, I waited till the last minute to figure out what I was going to wear. 2 days before the big day, I bought a pair of dress pants in the right color but wrong size – I’m pretty short so getting a good fitting pant off the rack is all but impossible. After a Unilocal search, I quickly went to ‘absolute’ with the hope of just getting them shortened, I could make it work as long as they weren’t dragging. I walked in and was greeted with a smile. She happily agreed to alter them and get them back to me the day of the wedding. Phew! Relieved. So I put them on and as she was figuring the length she said, «don’t you want me to narrow them? they’ll look better» I said yes, please, absolutely, you can do that in such a short time frame? She smiled and said of course. I was so grateful, I thought having them narrowed was too much to ask for with the time crunch but it made such a big difference in the look of the pants. I got them early the day of the wedding and they looked great. I received so many compliments on the fit. She was accommodating, friendly and made my pants look better then I thought they could!

I brought some curtains in to be hemmed. She finished the job very quickly, but unfortunately when I got them home, they were shorter than I wanted. I thought I measured right the first time, and she thought she measured right too. She easily could have claimed it was my fault and been done with me, but she took the curtains back and lengthened them for me, no charge. This is the kind of customer service that will make me a lifelong customer. Thank you!

This place is awesome. Manijeh the owner has done an excellent job on my clothes all the time she is very friendly and nice. she is the best in valley Love this place.

This place is awesome!
My friends and I needed some last minute alterations on Halloween and needed an emergency alteration job done within 4 hours, and Absolute Alterations got it done!
She did a wonderful job and made our costumes, which would have been a disaster, into a beautiful masterpiece within hours. I couldn’t be more grateful.
The charges were beyond reasonable, too. If I lived in the area, I would go to Absolute Alterations for all of my tailor needs. I strongly recommend this place.

I purchased an expensive dress from a popular pinup store to wear to an event on a Saturday. I received the dress on Thursday and noticed the cleavage was not symmetrical. I planned to exchange the dress believing it was a quality control issue. I went to the brick and mortar location to exchange but realized all the dresses were cut this way. I opted to have mine altered instead. Unfortunately, by this time it was Friday, after 4 pm – closer to 5. I searched Unilocal and it brought me here. I showed the owner the problem and she quoted me a price. I sheepishly asked if she could possibly have it done by the next day. She asked what time and again I winced and asked if 11am was a possibility because it was an all day event. She said,“yes!” My husband picked up my dress at 10am and it was perfect! I will definitely be taking all my business here from now on. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much!

Came here today to get a dress and a pair of pants hemmed. My bf quickly Unilocaled this business and I’m so glad we came here. We were able to pick up my items the same day in 4 hours after I dropped off my clothes. The women there are so sweet and they did a great job. This is where we will be going for future alterations.

I always have trouble with pants being too long. If you need a tailor to hem pants, this is a good spot to check out. The owner is very friendly and definitely knows what she’s doing. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. It was a quick process, in and out the first time to drop off a pair of pants that needed to be hemmed. She had me try the pants on and measured them on me to ensure the length would be just right. I left the pants, and when she told me they would be ready in 3 days, I asked if there was any way she could have them done in 2 days instead. The best part: without any hesitation, she said yes, and it was a done deal with no extra charge for having the pants done a day faster. I came back 2 days later, tried the pants on in the store, and they fit just right! Quick, easy, friendly, and only $ 10 to have a pair of dress pants that fit me perfectly. I will definitely come back next time I need to have my pants hemmed up.

Manijeh is absolutely the best, prices are very reasonable and she is on time with all orders, been her customer for more than 5 years and I would definitely recommend her :)

Manijeh was very friendly and helpful. Her job was very clean and beautiful. I highly recommend her!

Great place, great prices, and she is very friendly and kind. I have recommended her to others and I feel good about it. I know she will make them clients for life.

WOW, this place is a gem! Manijeh is incredibly talented and takes great pride in her work. The results: Outstanding!
Expect your items, no matter how delicate to be treated with care, and returned just the way you had envisioned. And, as an added bonus, you can drop off all your dry cleaning too! Great prices and truly amazing service!
Thank you, Absolute Alterations!

I bought a night gown a few months ago and needed it altered for a wedding this wknd. I found Manijeh on Unilocal and decided to bring my dress here. I got a really good impression from her when I met her, she was very sweet and spent a lot of time finding out exactly how I want the dress. I just tried on the dress and love what she has done, it looks great and she did exactly what I asked for. Totally recommend her.

I have brought two dresses to be altered. The work was done late and the quality of it was disappointing.
1. Dress number one was converted into tunic. The needle that was used for silk garment was too thick and pulled the fabric, the altered cuts for the sleeve were not even and the over all delivery was late by two weeks.
2. Dress number two was converted into a pencil skirt. The elastic on the skirt was not finished with anything and had three drunk stitches on the left. Threads were sticking out of everywhere. It was late by one week because I found the work unacceptable and asked her politely to redo it.
Fortunately I got my two redone and equally cut garments back. I paid 37 $ to go there three times and tell her where she was wrong. I am not a couturier but I know stitching and how to take care of delicate clothing. The work done was very rough and not professional.
I hope she reads my review as a constructive criticism and not a rant.

Manijeh is the owner of Absolute Alterations (which used to be called Mali’s Alterations). Manijeh’s professionalism and warm customer service really allows you to discuss your alteration and tailoring needs openly and freely.
The store is located in the same shopping center as the baseball card store in Tarzana. Inside, you will find mini-​changing rooms so you can change into your pants, dresses, etc…
The finishing result was great. A few inches were removed from the waistline of my slacks, but she left just enough room for me to wear a belt or in case I put on some belly pounds in the future.
Thanks Manijeh. I will definitely be using your service again.
P. S. Manijeh only accepts CASH or CHECKS.

Manijeh’s job and customer service is absolutly AMAZING. she hands down! Always friendly and makes an extra effort to do an exceptional job. You can tell she really loves what she does. I will only take my clothes to her. I’ve been using her for the past 4 years and will continue to forever. I would recommend Absolute Alternations in a heart beat. also she does dry cleaning I always take my clothes to her for cleaning as well. Can’t say enough great stuff about this place. Highly recommended. Thank You Unilocal to GIve me a chance to find her here.:-)

I tried Mali’s alterations for the first time with 2 pair of expensive jeans a couple of days ago. She was so very sweet and was able to get them done quickly. After trying them on and looking at the quality if work, I can say I will def be back! She is amazing! She did a perfect job and was priced lower than anyone I have ever used! I couldn’t believe it! She is my new go to person! Thanks Mali!

Mali is just lovely! Her work is terrific and the prices are right. I am so pleased to have finally found a professional who really cares about her work and her customers. She was recommended by a friend and when I checked Unilocal, as I often do, I was pleased to see good reviews but disappointed to see only two. As a result, I’m adding mine and I hope you will add yours.
