Magic Needle Tailor Shop

My husband ripped his favorite pants in the hip area and the other side was also about to give. I suggested he buy new pants but he insisted on getting them fixed. I took them to Asima at Magic Needle and she did a great job on them. She fixed the rip and reinforced the other side of the pants to prevent future rips. My husband was highly impressed with how nice they looked (like new!).
I then took her a dress to be hemmed and a pair of pants that I needed the waist taken in. I wanted the dress done on fairly short notice for vacation, and she said that she was very busy with prom season but she would do her best to get it done. She not only finished the dress, but also the pants that I didn’t even need done on short notice. Both looked and fit great. THANK YOU! (I’ll be back with more pants to alter this week or next!)

Very disappointed! Took my clothes there, went to pick them up and they gave them away. Now disclosure on my end it was 5 months they were there. With that being said, we never got a call to check to see if we were coming by to pick them up. When we were finally able to go back in she was very rude and did not offer to accommodate for giving my clothes away.

If I could give a ZERO rating I could. These are two of the most rude people (woman named Irena) I have ever met in my entire life. I brought five pants in to be tailored for $ 80. Three of the pants were taken out a bit too much and needed additional adjustments. These are suit pants and I had not put on a suit in weeks. Irena*2 refused to do the work without charging me AGAIN. They cited their store policy (a document posted behind the register) when telling me I waited too long to get them fixed. One of the woman called me a liar telling me that I «probably took other pants out of my closet». I called the owner of the store — shockingly he never returned my call. STAY AWAY from Magic Needle Tailor Shop — I hope they disappear.

My experience here was in line with the others who’ve reviewed. In a way the lady reminded me of a certain soup character from Seinfeld. In all though she was great and took care of me straight away. I had a suit adjusted which cost a bit more than I expected, but it looks rock solid.
I did have a misunderstanding with her and she ended up sowing the pockets on the pants shut. When I brought it back she told me to wait while she pulled the stitching. She didn’t give me a hard time about it or even an inkling that she would try to charge. I’ll be going back.

The previous Unilocal reviews are what led me to Magic Needle Tailor. My husband and I needed some new pants and a jacket tailored and we didn’t know where to go.
The owner/​tailor, Irina, provided great service. My husband had jacket sleeves shorted and jeans «original hemmed», which means the threading of the jeans remain the same (the pants aren’t shortened/​hemmed with new threading). This type of hemming is important for jeans so the threading matches. This service (original hem) costs more, about $ 28.00 so it’s not cheap. However, the workmanship that Irina does is great. I hard a time figuring out how she managed to do the original hem on my jeans!
If you’re looking for a «cheap» tailor, this is not the place to go. If you’re looking for quality work on clothing that you will expect to wear for a while (longer than a year), then come to Irina. Expect to pay for good work.

I had never been to a tailor before, so I didn’t know what to expect. The eastern European lady that works there is a little difficult to understand, but she did an amazing job turning a loose and flappy suit into a snug, snazzy-​looking piece that I was excited to wear. I’ve got a couple other suits that need some tailoring and I intend to go back to Magic Needle for the work.

I’ve been here twice just to have some pants hemmed (since when were regulars 32−33″ inseam? 31″ at 5’7…) Both times I saw the same lady. The hems were excellent quality, and are still holding up. For an additional charge she’ll rush for next day order.
