Alex's Alterations, San Diego CA

Repaired a vintage 70s/80s corduroy coat. Superb job. All around quality and professionalism.

Alex is a powerhouse in the tailoring game, and will make anyone feel welcome and comfortable in his shop. His skills are a force to be reckoned with, able to make even the worst fitting clothes look like they were made specifically for you. I came in with pants and overalls, all of which he tailored with expert precision utilizing sharp eye and decades of experience.

I highly recommend his service to get your fits on point. Feel free to get the dumbest fitting clothes and bringing them to his shop; you will not be disappointed. Alex will turn your clothes from unwearble into your favorite pieces in your closet.

The best fitting suite I’ve ever had. The service was well priced and I had my suite tailored and ready to pick up in less than two weeks. Best tailor I’ve been to, I’d recommend him to anyone.

Man where to start with Alex and the great work his does. I been coming to him since 2015 when a friend recommended him. He is really good and knows how to alter any cloths fit like a glove. Quick turn around time is the biggest bonus and he is always nice and friendly. I would recommend Alex to all people looking to alter their cloths. If I could give more stars, I would!

I’ve had a few simple alterations done here and always had a good experience. Usually I just cuff my pants where I need them hemmed and drop them off with Alex, I get a text two weeks later, and come pick them up. Pretty simple process, everything has been well done. (I’ve never had a dress or anything complicated altered here, so I can’t speak to that.)

Rude customer service as soon as you walk out not the door. Very unwelcoming.
Don’t even bother unless you can wait 8 weeks according to the guy behind the desk

Alex is one of the best tailors I have EVER been to! I brought in a jumpsuit that was over-sized and lacked structure. I truly didn’t think there was anything that would make it better, but Alex worked MAGIC! The way he tailored this piece makes me feel beautiful and I cannot wait to wear this. He does amazing work!

Alex Alterations
Alex does more than alterations, he creates magic. The first time I met him was years ago, right before Covid. He helped me with one of my wedding dresses and my mom’s Mother of the Bride dress. For me, he opened up my back and made everything fit in all the right places. He did something similar to my mom and she looked stunning! However, I write this review to praise his above and beyond quality of work and customer service. I had a brilliant idea to turn the train from my baby shower dress in to the princess drapes that would hang over my baby girls crib. My shower wasn’t until the month before I was due, so I had this brilliant idea only weeks before her arrival. At the time, Alex had so many alteration requests he was backed up for many months. (I’m talking more than 6, so that right there also shows how good he is at his work. People wait that long bc he’s worth it!) However, I told him my idea and since he is a family first kind of guy, he made magic happen. He worked longer hours just to make my vision come to life and give my 1st baby her perfect princess crib. Thank you, Alex, for your talent, hard work and kind heart. You will forever be remembered in our home and I appreciate you!

Currently not accepting alterations - they won’t be ready until November (3 months lag time)

You have to understand that the expertise and craftsmanship you are seeking takes time. Alex is the most proficient tailor, with decades of experience and a comprehensive understand of fabrics and fit, which makes him high in demand. Nonetheless, the wait is always worth the excellent service.

Thank you Alex for an incredible job on my wedding dress! I came here because they had flexible hours and it's been one of the best decisions during my wedding planning process. Alex clearly loves his job and loves making people look amazing in their clothe. He pays so much attention to details and has decades of experience as a tailor. I would 100% recommend anyone to come here and will personally come back next time I need something altered. I've gone to other tailors before.but the service before isn't even comparable. They run a great family business and it's quite evident why their customers come back!

Always a great experience coming here. My wife and I have brought several dresses and pants to Alex and he alters them perfectly every time! Understands what we need and always gets them back to us faster than we expect.

Thank you for all your help Alex!

Arsen did an awesome job on my tuxedo and he was very fast. Had to have my tux taken in so I could give my daughter away at her wedding. Received lots of compliments how good I looked, my tux fit like a glove and was very comfortable. Thanks so much Arsen

Alex is my go-to tailor in San Diego. He's always a blast to interact with and identifies the issue and ideal solution to any garment- or sewing-related issue. He's flawlessly fixed a jacket pocket, duvet cover, jacket hook and eye, and few other random things. Thanks Alex for everything!

Alex and his son are amazing best in all of San Diego for alterations and dry cleaning! His son knows more about BMW’s then anyone as well! - Biged 90 day Fiancé.
