Lana’s Alterations

I needed to get a pair of jeans hemmed, the fraying embroidered trim fixed on a top, and buttonholes a manufacturer seemed to miss put into a brand new poncho cape. I chose to go to Lana’s based on the positive Unilocal reviews I read. I went there with some trepidation. The place is a little out of place in an office building full of mostly financial businesses and is on the second floor. I was really pleased when I picked up my goods. My jeans were perfectly hemmed, even with the gold thread on the bottom. My top was fraying no more (and the guy said he wasn’t sure if they could fix it, but that they would do their best and try). And, lo and behold! My cape had buttonholes. (Take that, Amazon merchant!). Since I didn’t need my clothes immediately, I was told to pick them up in a less than a week. They were finished on time. Not only that, their prices were VERY reasonable to me. All of the work cost less than $ 30, with the jeans being $ 14. I will definitely be back should I need more work done.

I am so happy that I found this alteration shop on Unilocal.I needed to get a dress hemmed the same day and the owner got it back to me in less than two hours when all the other shops needed at least two days! He saved the day! He did a great job and was very professional! Thank you!

WOW WOW WOW this place makes you feel WOW! I came across this place on Unilocal a week ago in effort to find somewhere to take my prom dress to get tailored. This place is hidden in a little office building so take your time when finding this place! The attention to detail is amazing, the customer service was sublime, and their work phenomenal! You can really tell they care about all your tailoring needs. I’ll defiantly be back !

I bought a bridesmaid dress that was 2 sizes too small for me and I had to get the whole thing altered. Lana’s Alterations was able to replace the back zipper with lace-​up corset. The price was a bit higher than I expected but given the fact that the dress had to be shortened and changed, I guess it justified how much I had to pay. Overall, the dress turned out great! They were able to match the color and I even got compliments on my dress! :)

Nice place, good work, not cheap or quick. Unilocal says 5 stars is «as good as it gets», which I’m not sure I’d go that far, but the gentleman that owns the place is great and altered my tux so I looked dashing on my wedding day. I also had sleeves shortened on a double breasted suit, which is guess is kinda old school at this point, lol, oh well.

I am really happy I found this place on Unilocal!So thanks for your help Unilocalers. I am a very last min person, so I took my bridesmaid dress a week before the wedding. He got it done 2 days prior to the wedding. The place is small but the dress room is huge and even has a little entertainment center for your kid.

Amazing, came in really last minute with a wedding dress alteration for a wedding on the 3÷5÷16 he had it done by the 2÷26÷16 he replaced the dresses original back zipper with a lace up corset, you couldn’t even tell it wasn’t part of the dress originally. great place, and amazing customer service.

Lana is the best and most talented seamstress ever. I’ve gone to others, but none can do what they do here. They give you exactly what you want with the exact measurement. Alterations are incredibly precise. They moved once and I was devastated. Glad to know they are here. I don’t trust anyone with my alterations except for this place. Also they can add in boning, which is nice, because some places don’t

Expert Sewing and Alterations and reasonably priced.

I needed two pairs of my jeans to be tailored to correctly fit around my waist. I am a size 28 and brought in my size 29 pants (smallest size they came in). The tailor who I’m guessing is also the owner of the establishment promptly took care of me by taking the correct measurements. I was in and out of the place in less than 10 minutes. I return a week later to pick up my jeans and they are perfectly tailored to fit. I also like the fact that this establishment offers CSUN student discounts, which I was happy to take advantage of. This was my first time coming to this business and I have to admit that I am satisfied with both the quality of work and the pricing that is offered. I will continue to be a returning customer for all of my tailoring needs.

I swear, the location was somewhat difficult to find. It’s hidden in another building of many offices. But, located on the second floor. As I walked in, the man helped me right away and was super nice. He was able to have my jeans altered the way i wanted it. I asked when would be the earliest for me to pick up my jeans, and he was able to alter them in 6 days? I mean it seems as if he usually takes longer, but he was able to squeeze it in for me. When I came to pick it up, the work that he didnt was more than I expected. I was more than happy of the work. I will definitely return whenever I need alterations!

Came here to get my wedding dress altered. I wasn’t sure what needed to be done, but I knew that my dress just didn’t fit right. The owner was super nice and told me exactly what needed altering and then did it before my wedding day!
Will come here again. Highly recommend.

My work provided me with 5 pairs of uniform work pants and unfortunately they were a bit long and I was stepping on them. I also didn’t like that they were not straight leg.
I needed them to be tapered and hemmed. I found this place on Unilocal and decided to try it out.
Once I found the place, which is in a wierd location located upstairs and has rear parking only.
I walked in and told the man just what I wanted done. After some quick measurements we were done and the turnaround would be 2 days.
I was back in 2 days and glad to know my pants were ready.
I tried them on and they were perfect.
I will definitely be back again.
PROS: The workmanship is excellent and professionally done right in a timely fashion.
CONS: I had 4 more pairs I needed done. At $ 25 each any small discount would of gone a long ways.

Fast service and very happy with my wedding dress. The owner is a quiet gentlemen but hard working.
I would use them again.

Local. Great prices. Very good work! He always accommodates my last minute requests and finds a way to squeeze me in, even when he’s busy. I truly appreciate that! Nice guy, efficient and the best there is in the area.
I’ve taken very expensive clothes to him and have never been disappointed with his work.
Thank you!

All my life, I thought I did not look good in certain kinds of clothes. Especially when it came to button up dress shirts. I have an athletic V shape body type. Off the rack button up shirts (even slim) fit my upper body, but are overly baggy around my waist. After some research, I realized that this is a common issue for people with my body type, and alterations by an experienced tailor was the solution.
I recently bought 3 new button up shirts from Nordstrom’s. There were in house seamstresses that I could have used, but I decided against it.
I was randomly in the area of Guillermo’s shop, and decided to take my shirts in based on the positive Unilocal reviews. I told Guillermo about my issues and he gave me his professional opinion and suggestions. I let him do thing, and the whole measuring/​pinning process for 3 shirts and one pair of pants, was quick yet thorough.
I picked up my clothes today. The quality of his craftsmanship, is impeccable. Everything fit like a glove, and looked great. Late in the day, I tried on one of the shirts for my visiting mom, and she said it looked expensive.
Guillermo’s was upfront about his prices before he started. His prices were reasonable, and significantly less than Nordstrom’s quote. The shop is a bit out of my way, but the quality of his work, makes it worth it. I will definitely be back soon, with some different items. Dude knows his stuff.

I think this might be a premature review. But I’m here. Getting a new suit pant altered. Guillermo is also helping me fix the slacks I have on today. The hem is coming undone and tugging together. I have a good feeling about this. It’s nice and cool with air conditioning in here too. I found this place based on a search on Unilocal.I wouldn’t have trusted going to dry cleaners for this. So let’s hope this is the start of a lasting relationship. Gotta look good for what I do.

I had a very unique situation and they solved it, no problem! I brought a 6 foot wide «Love Sac» (aka luxury bean bag chair) that needed to be patched after my dog chewed into it. It was impossible to bring to their second floor office, so the nice gentleman measured what he needed, and came to the courtyard and fixed it, even though they were about to close, he stayed late and did my job quickly and effectively. Very impressed with the customer service! I will be back for other tailoring needs!

Bought a suit for a wedding this past weekend and needed some tailoring.
Went here and thought it was legit alteration place because this is what the store is mainly for. (It was just hard to find since it is in the plaza and on the 2^nd floor)
Needed to shorten some sleeves and also hem my pants with french cuff.
Done by Friday, day before the wedding. Amazing work. Prices were decent as well.
Definitely will come back again.

Reading the other reviews, it looks as if I’m just one more satisfied customer. Fair warning, the storefront is actually on the second floor of a small office complex — there is no large sign to direct customers.
William had my two dress shirts and slacks sized in no more than 15 minutes. I also asked him to take some measurements for a jacket and he was more than happy to do so. Great, great service all around. Their tailors are pretty excellent… The hem and taper job they did on my pants is top notch. My dress shirt sleeves are now perfect as well. Prices are very reasonable.
I have to admit I’ve only been to two other alteration locations, but both botched my dress shirts so badly I’ve not looked to have any other shirts altered. This place is a godsend for guy like me since the clothing industry hates people with short arms and legs. I’ll be getting all my clothes tailored here from here on out!
