Young’s Cleaners

The lady there is happy to overcharge you. She is moody. It’s not worth the money

This place burned down and Ms. Young is a scam artist. She took our info, kept pretending to cry on the phone and hasnt done a thing to get us compensated for our losses. She is a fake. We are working with authorities to figure out how to find her.

So, in August, I dropped of some very expensive things from a wedding and when I went to pick them up– Youngs was CLOSED! Wtf. I’ve been calling every few weeks to see what’s going on. The gentleman said something about the landlord not letting them back in yet?
Does anyone know what is going on? I need to get my clothes back!
The door is still closed, window boarded up with a phone number on the door. This is crazy bad.

DO NOT GET UR JEANS HEMMED HERE! I was already blown away at the fact that she charged me $ 30 per pair of jeans to be hemmed thinking that this was going to be an AMAZING alteration, to find out that she folded them under and placed a stitch. I almost died when I finally tried them on a week later. I went back very disappointed asking her to fix these for no charge, which she agreed she would do. Then she proceeded to say that I will not complain after she fixes them. I said I’m sorry but I have had almost every pair of jeans and pants that I own hemmed and no one has ever done this poorly of a job. I would not waste your time here if you’re getting you jeans hemmed. Unless you like them folded under and stitched, which she states «people usually like».

I went here to get my dress altered to take it in a little bit and make it more tight. Also I brought my pencil skirt and jacket to get it more tight also. She altered and made marks and put in pins all over and said everything together going to be $ 120. Thats a little steep but I was ok thats fine she seems good by her reviews. When I came back after a month to get my things. I looked at it and was like let me try it on as want to be sure it fits. The dress wasn’t ready yet! After a month!
I only tried on the suit and it wasn’t what she measured me for the jacket was too long so she had to redo it again! When I tried on the dress I asked her to put in a zipper because she was going to make it tighter and remove the zipper. After one month she didn’t do that. I tried on the dress with pins and needles sticking throughout it! I got my finger hurt from the needle when I was putting on the dress.
Than I forgot about the clothes because she didn’t call me like she said to tell me its ready.
I came back after 2 month to get my dress and suit and found out she gave it to donation! This was the worst experience I have ever had with dry cleaners. Im never going to go back to her again.

5 stars do not give Ms. Young enough credit. Since day one this woman has seriously blown me away with her ridiculous mannerisms and bubbly personality. Besides the fact that she ALWAYS does an amazing job cleaning, altering or fixing anything you need, she is consistently entertaining. Instead of going to some cleaners on my way from work, I pass my apartment and walk a little bit further just to have some special time with this woman and let me tell you, it’s like nothing else. I was referred to her by a friend and this chain just keeps growing. Everyone we know we tell about her. It really is an experience that every person needs to have. Make sure you get chatty with her… it’s beyond anything you can imagine. Yesterday, I finally received my official «I love you» If you go to Ms. Young, you know how big this is.

I agree with all the previous reviews. Mrs. Young is truly is a blessing. The only thing I disagree with is the three dollar sign rating… I just took in 35 pieces to be cleaned and it cost under $ 250… That’s less than $ 10 a piece!!! Amazing service, amazing prices. I will never use another dry cleaner in Philadelphia, I’ve found my match.

Mrs. Young is an incredibly conscientious business owner. She remembers her customers, always promises to fix something right away if it is not right (everything has been right so I haven’t had a chance to take her up on it), and has really competitive prices. There is a dry cleaner one block away from my apartment, but I walk 8 blocks to get to Mrs. Young’s because the service is so great.

Siding with the majority again. Ms Young may be the sweetest lady I’ve ever met. And I’ve met a lot of ladies!
I called ahead to check on her hours. She enthusiastically said «To 7!»
«And tomorrow?»
«To 7!»
«And what time do you open?»
«8!»
“And you clean and do alterations?”
«Yes! I do everything! Clean and alterations!»
«How about jeans?»
«Yes, everything. I do everything! Clean, hem, jeans, everything!»
So I went in and she smiled and introduced herself and reminded me that she does everything. She pinned me up, took measures, estimated a price, and asked me to come back to make sure everything fit. I also noted that I had a hole in the crotch of my jeans. While I was trying on my suit to be measured, she stitched up the hole right there and told me to come back and she’d patch it better.
I asked if she could have the work done by Saturday (this was a Wednesday, and I had s suit and slacks to be altered, a shirt and another suit to be cleaned). She looked amazed and said she’d try, even if it meant taking it home. I told her not to lose sleep, but she insisted saying, «I love to do it! No worries!»
She asked that I come in Thursday to make sure everything fit, so I did, and everything was done! That was fast! And everything fit very well, and the cost seemed appropriate. I told her that I would tell my friends about her and send business her way, but that I hope I don’t make her too busy. So now I have a dry cleaner/​taylor who does everything. Perfect!

Mrs. Young may actually be the friendliest woman in Philadelphia. The service at Young’s is fantastic. Everything is done on time and the pricing is pretty decent.

I second the other review. Ms. Young is very friendly and helpful. I chose to use her business because it was the only cleaners open until 7 p.m. and near my apartment. I made the right choice. She does an excellent job with dry cleaning and tailoring.

I’m always skeptical of –really– nice people; the ones who are always smiling and laughing. Call it the cynic in me. Mrs. Young is this person. As a patron of her dry cleaning service, and upstairs neighbor, I see her almost everyday, and without fail, she’s always peppy and sweet and nice and who’s like this anymore?!
As far as her services are concerned, she’s an expert at turning things around within 2 days, maybe even 1 day if you need it badly, and she does all my hemming. As I sit at my desk, I can hear her below me (seriously):
Mrs. Young: Oh! Hi! Nice to see you so soon!
Man: Hello, here are some shirts for dry cleaning
–no dialogue… I presume she’s collecting his clothes–
Mrs. Young: Ok, will see you ok? Say hello! Goodbye!
Even if she doesn’t really make sense, her enthusiasm is awesome.
