Arya Alteration Tailoring

They are so nice, I brought my daughter with her prom dress to be fitted. While tailor pinned her dress, he was so polite, calm and very professional. A week later we came back and my daughter tried on her dress. We loved the dress. While we were looking at the amazing job he did on the dress, he saw one area that was a little bit baggie. He started pinning more of the dress. He asked if we can give him a few more days to make the dress just right. We came back a week later, she tried it on one more time, it looks amazing! He took a lot in on her dress, two times. We will go back!

Fast. Beautifully done. Reasonably priced. Polite. What’s not to love?

The tailor at Arya was wonderful. I had my wedding dress altered pretty significantly and had my fiancée’s suit altered there as well. He did an amazing job. He’s courteous, professional, talented, timely, and relatively low-​priced. He even added a bustle for me last minute, at no charge! I couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. I only wish he was a little closer so I could take all of my clothes there. I would absolutely recommend Arya’s Alterations to my friends. From hemming jeans, to altering gowns, this guy knows his stuff.

This place is the real thing, and the owner, Nabi, is pretty much a badass. I live on the Northern Peninsula and have easy access to all the alterations shops in SF, but instead I get on the BART and take the long trip to Concord to come to Arya.
On my first visit, I took in two pantsuits that were much too big because I had lost 20 pounds. Alterations to fitted jackets can cost the earth and be really fussy to boot, but he was confident that he could cut them down to my new size.
On my second trip there, the day I went to pick up the suits, I also took a pair of corduroy jeans and an evening gown (a very lucky thrift store find) to have them altered. Mind you, I didn’t have shoes yet, so I asked him to hem the dress for 1″ heels. When I tried on the jackets, we agreed they needed a little more work, so he held on to them. The pants were fine — they’re easier to size down — so I took them home.
Today I picked up the whole bundle. The cords make my butt look great, if I do say so myself. The jackets fit perfectly, and so does the gown. Even better, I found shoes a couple of weeks ago, and when I wore the dress with the shoes we found that the length is precisely right. IT’S LIKE MAGIC.
For all of that work, he charged me $ 210. I feel really good about the cost and would use this shop again in a heartbeat. Nabi’s customer service skills are excellent and his work is first-​rate. Highly recommended.

I needed some scrub pants tapered and he did it very well. I wish it was a little more tapered from the knee down but when I need some more scrubs, I will come to this shop. The guy is very nice and prices are reasonable; however, it did a few days to be completed. Nonetheless, recommend him!

I had immediate needs for a bridesmaid dress. He did both me, and other bridesmaid within two days for major alterations. Very reasonable in price. He’s closed until Sept 24^th, and it such a bummer because I don’t trust anyone else. I’ve used him for other things as well including jeans, and another bridesmaid dress a few years back.

Really impressed with the turn around rate, fantastic work, and wonderful price point.
Just found my new go to tailor!

I took my Marchesa dress in because it was too long and the strap came unattached from the bodice. We discussed a solution to shorten the gown without ruining the lace and I was very pleased with the result. I will definitely be coming in when I have anything special for him to alter. And the turnaround was actually very quick. Overall pleased with the result!

Nabi is a gentleman and a scholar.
Friendly, capable, fast, affordable. He has been so speedy and courteous to me and my family as we’ve been getting dresses altered for an upcoming wedding. I’ve been going to him for over a year now to hem pants, narrow the legs, shorten long shirts, tighten blazers. He’s done work for me that other alterations shops have turned down. A great little shop.

In a line a buildings that are under construction near Taco Bell — Small place … but service was excellent. Had to check this place out after seeing the review of someone getting excellent service for an emergency suit tailor for a funeral. Got 4 designer pants altered (worth over $ 500 in total) so I was scared. But the results … Perfect fit. Good place if in need of some alterations near Concord.

Exceptionally, friendly service.
I came here on a whim recently, when looking for a place to get my nice Hudson shorts altered at (waist area was too big).
The owner was extremely welcoming and friendly from upon entering. He ended up suggesting not to cut the the shorts to fit, but rather to put a elastic sort of strap within the stomach area, preventing if to stretch any more.
I went to pick up the shorts not realizing it was cash only, I freaked for a second; when he told me not to worry, and just to pay him the next day or when I’m in again — WHO TRUST’S PEOPLE LIKE THAT ANYMORE THESE DAYS! I thought that was awesome and immediately drove to an atm and paid him! Now the shorts are still a tad big still, though they are better.
Overall, I believe I have found my new tailor.

My go to place for my clothing that needs to be altered. He does amazing work with everything I have taken here. His prices are very inexpensive and had it all done within a timely matter. I took my sister in law here to have her wedding dress altered and the cost to have it altered left her feeling super happy, since wedding dress alterations can be very expensive! He also fixed her veil since it was passed down from our Grandma (who got married in the 80’s) It needed a few things cut off and he did a great job at making it look more like this generation cathedral veil!
He also fixed my Bridesmaid dress that need so much work done to it. He really gave some good ideas on how it should be altered based on the way the dress fabric flowed. Flawless job every time!

This guy was amazing! I live in Sweden (but originally from the Bay Area) and had my wedding dress totally screwed up by a seamstress in Sweden. I got to California 2 weeks before my wedding and went directly to him and he totally listened to what I wanted and not only fixed the dress (the previous seamstress made the dress 2″ shorter on one side) but made it better than before! I can’t recommend him enough!

I have gone here a few times for minor alterations, and every time I couldn’t be happier with the results. The work is impeccable and neat, and they are always flexible and timely with my orders. Thank you!

I had to make a Unilocal based off of my experience I had with Arya Alteration Tailoring.
My grandmother passed away recently & I purchased a suit 2 days prior to the funeral. I came in on a Wednesday. This is the first time I took anything in to get tailored. He definitely has a good eye for how clothes look on people. Very helpful & made suggestions that I agreed with. After getting measured to how I wanted everything to fit, he asks if next Thursday work for you? I told him my situation & that I needed it done by the end of tomorrow. I assumed that it would get done in less than one day. He then looked into his schedule book (for a while) & said that he’s already behind with previous booked clients. He kindly took my suit & said give him a call tomorrow afternoon around 3. My grandmother’s wake was the following day. I managed to call him around 5:30. I lost track of time during the wake to call him sooner. His shop closed in the next 30 minutes. I left the wake while it was still going on. I got there around 6:15 because I needed to stop by the bank & also deal with the traffic on the way there. When I got to his shop he told me that my suit was finished & that he spent all night working on it. With tears already my eyes I shook his hand & thanked him.
The suit met the specifications I wanted & it definitely exceeded my expectations. Not saying he will gladly do this for anyone else, but I’m thankful he managed to help me on such short notice. I will definitely be a returning customer here & I would recommend this place to anyone who needs their clothes altered.

Took in 4 dresses for different types of alterations and not only did he do an amazing job, but was quick and reasonable.

This guy is super chill, nice quick and affordable. Awesome clean work and gets it done asap! I’ve used this place 3x now and super happy with the workmanship and ease of everything. A great place to get alterations. 2 thumbs way up!

I altered both of my wedding dresses here. The shop does not look like much from the outside but the quality of tailoring is excellent, alteration time is good and the owner made me feel really comfortable.

WARNING: combination of very poor work and even worse customer service. We trusted Arya with a dress alteration before an out of town wedding. We came here because of the great reviews and had hoped for the same level of service but we were instead robbed of $ 50.
The entire back of the dress was left unaltered leaving my wife in no better situation than when we arrived. When we took the dress in we made sure we had the shoes that she would be wearing so that the alteration would be appropriate. Only half the alteration was done.
Now we are leaving town and have to take the dress somewhere else in the locale of the wedding to have it corrected. We did contact Arya in regards to this issue, but the only option we were given was to bring it in now, before our flight, to have him try to rush the job and fix it. We asked for a refund since we have to pay someone else to correct the job, and he became very argumentative and rude.
We are new to the area and were looking for our go-​to tailor, but Arya is DEFINITELY not it. I’ll be telling this story of poor service and even more atrocious service to others while I keep looking for someone who is honest and does good work.

I’ve been coming to this spot for several years now. I bring in everything from tops, pants, and vintage dresses. He has a great eye for knowing exactly what to do to make whatever I bring to him fit. He is very reasonable on prices and is a complete gentleman. I have a short torso so 95% of my alterations are related to strap issues. It can sometimes feel awkward trying on clothes that are too low cut before they are altered but I have always felt very comfortable here.
There has been a couple times where the alteration was not perfect but he was very quick to fix any issue I have had with any alteration I’ve had from him. Great tailor!!!
