    I dropped off two pairs of jeans on Thursday and picked them up the following Tuesday. One pair the zipper had broken off and the other pair needed to be majorly hemmed (short legs).

    Likes: prices are listed so you know the cost in advance. Fast turnaround and very business like, which I appreciate. Sometime you don't need to be best friends and chat it up with every person or business associate you encounter.

    I initially went here recommended by a friend. They actually made a slight mistake with my pants OR you could say I didn't communicate what I wanted well enough without having my garments properly pinned on me. Always try on !!! I went back over a week later and they took care of everything for me! They do nice work, have reasonable prices, and a clean place right on broadway.

    My review is for an emergency bridesmaid dress alteration (hem adjustment). I arrived to the shop shortly after opening on Tuesday. I was quickly greeted, helped, and confirmed that my dress could be finished by my deadline (which was before shop closing on Thursday)... in fact, I was promised a deadline of 4pm on Thursday. This was a massively important job for me, as I needed the dress for a Friday wedding. ... The dress was finished by 1pm on Thursday (vs. 4pm) and I can tell you, it was such a relief and it was done correctly! There were no issues... I even recall being told that the dress may not be "even" because of the different fabrics and the nature of the sewing needed, but it was seamless, and looked fantastic!

    My husband, and I have been coming to alteration station for at least twenty years or better. Salims work is total perfection, every piece that we have brought to him has come out beautifully. He has always been nothing but kind to us when we come in fir his service. We are very happy with his work, and hope to have many more years with him. Thank you Salim, my husband and I appreciate your work!

    I was leaving town and needed to get a new pair of pants to take with me. I am short, so I always need to have my pants altered. I called up and explained my problem. She said come on over. I did and 10 minutes later, I had my pants.
