Review from Candace R.

So because I am unrealistically optimistic and naive when it comes to alterations, I waited until last weekend to take a bridesmaids dress to get altered for a wedding I'm in in 3 weeks. I thought it would be a simple let it and I'd be good to go, but the first tailor I took it to INSISTED that the only thing that would get this dress to fit is to change the zipper back to a corset back, which in addition to buying the fabric, would have costed be $60, in addition to getting the dress hemmed to cocktail length, which would have run me $105 total. Considering that I bought the dress for slightly more than that, I was about to have a mental breakdown and decided to get a second opinion before deciding.
After a quick yelp search I found myself at AJ tailors. It's a small little shop, and when I walked in she was helping a bride-to-be in her gown so I just hung out until she was ready for me. I tried the dress on and told her what the other shop told me, and she said that she wouldn't even recommend doing a corset back, that there was enough in the dress to let it out, and that it was already at cocktail length for my height, which is exactly what I needed to hear. Before I got too excited I asked about how much it would run me to do an "impossible" job, and it was $60. At the end of the day, I just needed the dress to fit so it was a done deal. She took some measurements and asked me to come back in a week. I stopped in today, tried on the dress, and it fit like a glove. I'm not sure what her prices run for smaller projects, but if I have another emergency project like this (which I hope isn't the case), I will definitely return. -

Let me start by saying that the tailors are incredibly kind and helpful. They were able to alter some of my dresses quite well (doing simple alterations). However, when it came to altering some suits, I was really disappointed. One of the suit jackets, which was originally too large, was know misshapen and disproportionate. One pair of dress pants was extremely unflattering after the alteration, being too tight around the pant seat/hip area.
I spent over $100 on alterations and would say that half of them either do not help or have made the garment worse. For simple hems, I would go to AJ Tailors, but for anything else, I would look elsewhere. -

The alterations at this place are wonderful and reasonably priced. Jeans can be hemmed for only $12. I also had a large rip in a leather jacket reconstructed for only $15! They took in a suit jacket of mine for $30 (involved reconstructing the darts on the back). Anyways, the alternations are wonderful and the service is great!
That being said-- I'm not sure if I would recommend their dry cleaning services. I took a dress here and they did NOT get a stain out at all. I took the dress home and decided to give the stain a shot on my own. One spray of Shout and some light rubbing got the stain COMPLETELY out. It was obvious that they had not even tried to get the stain out (I even had them flag it). The clothes came back smelling no so fresh too. The woman that's in charge of the dry cleaning is not always friendly (she's the one the greets you before the seamstress comes out too). One time a someone else's dress was put into my bag-- I took it back to the store after finding it in the dry cleaning bag. The woman greeted me by saying "Oh, that's where that is." No thank you for bringing it back. Nothing.
5 stars to the tailor for alterations! 1 star for dry cleaning -

This place is great! I purchased a really beautiful handkerchief dress on Ebay, but I got it and it was 5 sizes too large! I brought it by this place solely as a result of it being close to my house! The eastern European (just a guess) who helped me was VERY nice, extremely helpful and overall competent! When I returned to pick up the dress it fit perfectly...I know she had to reconstruct the dress, but it looked like it was made for me! I am not sure what something like that would cost, but she charged me $28 and I was A-OK with it as the results were perfect! I will be brining more stuff into be tailored!

If you're looking for an inexpensive place to get your jeans hemmed, look no further than A.J.'s. I love this place! It's cheap (usually about $12 to alter a hem) and the service is fast. And the people who work there are extremely nice. They've helped me save a handful of expensive jeans that I found in the vintage stores and alter them for my body.

Anna is excellant at the alterations she does, very competent and knowledgeable. I have had several items altered, including lengthening drapes, reconstructing drapes, and hemming of drapes, plus some smaller items. All the work was done to perfection - Anna makes sure of that, and she is a very pleasant woman to work with. I would recommend anyone to go here for all their alteration needs as the service is great.

Really nice people working here. I had a pair of jeans that needed to be hemmed. They were nice enough to turn the job around in a single day-- dropped the jeans off in the am and they were ready that evening. It was $12 for a new hem. Not sure how much it would be to use the original hem. One other thing... the map on YELP shows that it is off Lemon Street and Rural. This is WAY OFF! It is actually in the shopping center in the southeast on the intersection of Guadelupe and Rural. If you map it on google maps the same error occurs.
