Super fast, great service + quality work at a reasonable price. I took my jeans to be shortened this Saturday morning and was happy to pick them up next week. The friendly staff member said she could shorten them in the time it took to grab a coffee. So we took her offer up! Absolutely top service. Highly recommend. They will get my business in future.

Shailesh and the team are definitely your go to place if you need any alterations done. They’ve done a number of alterations for me, from hem shortening, to a more complicated re-design of a dress with a more difficult fabric. Workmanship and service is always top notch – Shailesh is so knowledgeable and is happy to make alteration suggestions that will flatter the garment fit if you need them. It honestly feels like catching up with a good friend who happens to be a fantastic tailor and whose judgment you can trust.

It’s the second time I’ve been there for ball dress alterations for my daughter. They think outside the square and saved us $ with an idea that sprung to mind during the fitting. Thanks so much for your consult and altering the dress once again. It looks amazing!!

I have been using LookSmart Alterations to repair valuable old items of mine now for the past decade. They have repaired an old burlap handbag with an image of Mao as a Disney character that had slipped stitches (the second repair of its long life being a vintage fashion accessory). They have dry-cleaned my Canada Goose jacket well many times now. Most recently they fixed the torn borders of a now 18-year-old gold and rainbow blanket that my wife loves at lot. It now has a cute pink border on 2 sides, and a rollover on two other sides.

I have been a customer for many years and have always found the service to be excellent and well-priced. My visit a few days ago to have suit trousers hemmed was no different, friendly, helpful, excellent value and deserved of a 5-star rating. Thank you and well done.

The service was incredible! I dropped in some pants to be hemmed with no real rush on when they were done. I got a text later that afternoon to say they were ready to be picked up – wonderful!
