Fletcher Hills Alteration

The zipper on my favorite climbing jacket, that has been everywhere and seen everything, broke. Rather than replace the entire jacket under a lifetime guarantee, I had Helen replace the zipper. She showed the same respect and care for my tired, old jacket that she would for a designer dress or suit. It is better than new. Thank you!

Helen is the best. I have referred everyone I know to her. She does great job on jeans, dresses and wedding dresses. She recently worked on my wedding dress and my mothers dress for my wedding. She made my moms dress fit like a glove. It looked absolutely incredible, like it was made for her body. She took it in, in all the right places. For my wedding dress she put in a corset back into the dress, took it in and hemmed it for me. Everything was done beautifully. She is great at communicating. She texted me to keep me updated on my dress and would let me know when I needed to come in for fittings. She always offered her advice on what she thought would look best but would always show me alternatives and let me decide on my own without any pressure. I love her ! I will be going to her for all my alteration needs.

Helen was great, took in my Halloween costume last minute and she had it ready the next day. She does great work and is very personable!

Affordable, very friendly and polite, and great work. I had her shorten the sleeves on a suit jacket and she got them just right. She is my new tailor!

I would definitely recommend anyone going to Fletcher Hills Alterations for any alterations needed. Not only is the shop so cute & inviting the same can be said about Helen! Helen was so friendly, she made me feel very comfortable. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to alterations. I had Helen alter my wedding dress. All other alteration locations including David’s Bridal (where I bought the dress) acted as if it were absurd that I would want to take off the small train of my wedding dress & simply said it couldn’t be done, but Helen had no problem with this. She worked with me, explaining everything & making sure I understood what would be happening. When I tried on my dress after alterations it was perfect! The dress looked like it was made without the train to begin with. I was nervous about taking my wedding dress to someone who didn’t necessarily specialize in just wedding dresses but I’m so thankful I found Helen! I couldn’t imagine anyone doing a better job. I will be taking any future alteration needs to Helen at Fletcher Hills Alterations!

I’m officially in love. Nope, it’s not a new man, it’s a tailor…
Helen is AMAZING! I brought in a fancy dress I needed altered in less than a week. She didn’t bat an eye. She showed me all the work we needed to do, went over everything with me in detail & gave me a price & a time to pick up. Easy as pie. I picked up my dress today and it’s perfect! She even pressed it. It’s amazing and I’m never going anywhere else for alterations!!!

Love this place! Love Helen! Love her work! Just go there!
My daughter had her wedding dress altered here this week. Helen was so awesome! We were greeted with a lovely smile and compliments about my daughter and her dress. She was obviously very happy to have our business and was completely professional. You could tell she was very experienced, and told us exactly how she would need to make the alteration.
We picked the dress up a few days later and it fit perfectly! Helen was so sweet we wanted to take her home with us. I will be returning to this excellent shop for any and all alteration work in the future. Thanks so much, Helen! My daughter is overjoyed at how perfectly her dress fits now.

Helen is great! I loved my wedding dress but it was too long. I was afraid it wouldn’t be possible to shorten because of the feathers. Helen figured out immediately she could shorten it and also suggested giving the top of my dress more of a sweetheart look. She did a great job! I loved it. Helen is very sweet and she has a really cute shop. I highly recommend doing your wedding dress alterations here rather than the bridal store. I have had only bad experiences w alterations at the bridal store for all the dresses I’ve purchased there for other weddings. Go see Helen, you will not regret it!

The best.
I called right before closing to add a button to my wrap dress. She fixed it in 5 minutes. Very affordable prices! She is so sweet and professional. And the shop is very cute.

Helen runs a great business. She really works with you to make you understand the options and does a great job so you love the outcome! She is super friendly and professional, handling multiple customers fluidly. She remembers everyone’s name and greets you when you walk in the door (not sure how!). Her prices are great and she’s open on Saturdays. I am so glad I have found a great alterations professional!

I brought a few pairs of designer jeans in to get hemmed. She carefully explained about how much more they’ll come up after washing and explained my choices in a hem, from matching the original hem, stitching and thread. I thought the prices were also very reasonable. Her turnaround time is quick as well. Upon pickup I was very happy with the job. Looked like the original but now the right length. Definitely worth it. I was so pleased, I returned with an evening gown and cocktail dress I purchased for my daughter pageant. Will update after getting those back!

I came to Helen to get my wedding dress hemmed. When I set my appointment up she truly cared about my dress and the alterations. When I tried my dress on Helen suggested taking the dress in, hemming my dress, and creating a bustle which was exactly what I needed! Throughout the whole time she was very professional, had amazing ideas, and it felt like she became family! My wedding dress came out beautiful and she did it in such a short amount of time. She is a perfectionist who really cares about the outcome!!! I would never go anywhere else than with Helen for future alterations! She is amazing at what she does! For any alteration choose Helen and you will be happy!

This place is incredible! I brought my dress in 1 WEEK before my wedding and it would not close. I’m talking not even close. She sis an incredible job and my dress looked incredible. I couldn’t be happier.

I was in desperate need of a zipper replacement on a dress that I purchased for my cousins wedding that was coming up. I called Helen on a Tuesday and the wedding was Friday which I was dreading that she either wouldn’t be able to fit it in with such short notice or was not going to be able to get it done in time but when I spoke to her she said no problem bring it in and I will have it done by Thursday. I came back to pick up my dress and i couldnt have been happier, it looked like there was never an issue with the zipper. She is a very sweet and accommodating person such a pleasure to work with I will definitely come back to her for all of my tailoring needs.

Helen is amazing. I came in to get alterations done on my suit without having any experience except for things I’d read on the internet before going in. Helen knew exactly what I wanted and was able to make her own recommendations and I love the result. I plan on purchasing a few more suits in the near future and will definitely be bringing them in to Helen.

Best in town. i do all my alterations here. Helen doesnt just take your order, she gives professional feedback and suggestions. also if there is a job she can’t do she is not greedy like other places but rather suggest other alternatives or specialist, such as for leather, etc.

Helen is the best, and fast! Very skilled. She has the sweetest disposition and is very accommodating for my last minute needs, too. Love doing business with her. :)

I don’t normally write a review but customer service here was so exceptional, I just had to come here and give her a 5 star. She always does exactly what I would asked her to do and never fails to meet my expectations and like what other reviewer have said, it’s at a reasonable price. I came back few weeks later to get my clothes hemmed and iron again and on my second visit, I was shocked she remembered my name. I thought to myself, «Wow, she has a good memory.» She also has a beautiful smile when you walk in which is a plus. I’m going to keep coming back here to get my clothes hemmed and iron done. Like I said, she does a great job with an exceptional customer service but you don’t have to take my word for it, find out yourself.
pros: exceptional customer service, fast, accurate, reasonable price, friendly cute cozy atmosphere.
cons: cash only

Long before the awesome Helen took over Fletcher Hills Alterations, I had been going there. The work was just mediocre for the price. Since Helen bought the business, the service and the quality has increased tremendously. Helen has been my tailor for over 3 years and she has custom made dresses for me, tailored suits for work and I have referred many to her. There has never been a time she was not joyful to help. Her prices are always reasonable and she takes so much time into her work. You really know that she is passionate about what she does. She is a hard worker and she listens to what you really want. I live in Clairemont and even then, her work is so good, I would drive to her all the way in El Cajon to have things fixed or made.
The best story yet is the dress she perfected just for me on my special day. Please take a look at my Unilocal photo and you can see just how personal it was. Helen you are truly amazing. I am sad to move to New York because you are so far away. I recommend everyone to your business and have full confidence in your work. Besides that you are welcoming, caring and genuine, you have a very gifted eye in style. Thank you Helen from Fletcher Hills Alteration!
Sincerely,
G
