DHP Alterations

If I could give this place zero stars I would! The hours on the door are clearly posted, but this business is not open when they are suppose to be! I went to their location and the sign on the door said closed! I called twice and when the lady picked up she said they were not open because the owner was not there! I asked when they would be open and she said she didn’t know when they would be open! I don’t understand how places like this stay in business when they are for their self and not for the customer! For people who may of needed their item today I wonder how they would have been able to get their item where the business was closed even though it was suppose to be open! Word to the wise take your business somewhere else because this place is unprofessional and not dependable!

I and my husband dropped off some our pants. They have a fitting room. The owner is very friendly and nice person and we’re very satisfied their work.
If you need to alterations for your cloths, I do recommend this place!

Got 3 pants tapered just the way I asked. Helen is awesome, she will tell you how she’ll alter it in order to make it the way you want it and ask if that’s ok. When I walked in, I got fitted right away and pinned. I had 2 joggers that I wanted to taper which came out to $ 12 each. 1 denim that came out to $ 10. I’m assuming the cuffs on the bottom of the joggers had more work to be done hence the extra $ 2 for each. Overall I’m more happy the way it turned out and will be going to dhp to do all of my clothes!

Helen is GREAT her work is outstanding prices are low and service is fast! You need Quality Great Prices and Friendly service… This is where you need to gooooo see HELEN!

I have nothing but great things to say about this place! It’s easy to find, with extra help from the pictures others have posted. I needed a formal dress altered for my husband’s military ball. We brought it in January 1^st, and I told her I needed it before the 9^th. She told us to come in on the 7^th since they would be closed the next day. I came in, tried on the dress, and she then started pinning it. She made sure to ask how the dress felt pinned, she’s very concerned with her customers and seems to want to provide the best service. When I picked it up, she mentioned that she cut more fabric off the dress than she meant to and was going to charge me only half the price. I already had my check written so I told her it’s okay. Her mistake was not noticeable on the dress and I was ecstatic with the results! I’d definitely come back for more alterations.
Not to mention that this shop belongs to my friend’s mom! No cards, cash or check only.

I chose DHP based on their reviews, and I was not disappointed. I had major work done on a bridesmaid dress (hemmed, taken in at the bust & waist, and the straps shortened). It was completed within a week, my dress looks fantastic, the quality of the work is great, and it was affordable. I highly recommend this place if you need your clothes tailored.
Just a heads up for anyone heading to this place for the first time. It’s on the first floor in the right-​hand corner of the plaza, next to a nail salon and underneath a tobacco shop. Thank you to the person who posted the picture of the front door, that helped me find it the first time I went! Also, cash or check only for payment, no cards.

Welcome smart reader!
My last review I said that I was going to review Kabuki Restaurant and Deli. I decided not to because I have a better and more exciting review for you. What makes it better and more exciting is that it’s virtually an unknown business, the David Ige of reviews if you will. I can wait to tell you any longer, so let’s begin. I’m calling this review…
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
First, i’m going to thank Unilocal and the Unilocalers who help me find this discreet little jewel, then i’m going to tell you how great the ladies are at DHP Alterations. Finally, i’ll end the review by showing you how to find DHP with a GoPro video that I made, so you get a sense of what it looks like and don’t get lost because I found this to be the an issue with DHP.
I want to start off by thanking Unilocal and the Unilocalers who help me find DHP. I’m forever grateful times a hundred.
Helen and the ladies treated me like I was a long lost son that they never seen in a long time. They made me feel belonged. I want to point out that another lady working there (not Helen) really impressed me because she had a good eye as I was getting fitted. DHP has great customer service, prices, and and they do awesome work.
There’s two ways to get to DHP, and i’ll show you the easier of the two. DHP is not actually located on Kamehameha Highway, but you you need to be on Kamehameha Highway to reach DHP. DHP is located just a little past Home depot and some storage place, so if you’re on Kamehameha Highway going toward Pearlridge you’ll see Home Depot on your right then just past there is a bronze or brown 2-​story building that has a tattoo place and my favorite Korean bar of all time. DHP is located behind this building.
To get to DHP, you need to drive into the small parking lot of the 2-​story building. There’s a road that takes you down and back into a larger parking lot where DHP is in there own little corner of the world (literally, they’re in the right-​hand corner of the building on the first floor if your facing the building). I won’t bore you anymore, so I’ll leave you with a GoPro video of the road that goes down and back from the small parking lot of the 2-​story building to the larger parking lot in the back where DHP is located.
P. S. Next up is shrimp on Oahu’s North Shore, I PROMISE. And thanks for reading the review, bye.

Can I just say I was in, fitted and out in less than the amount of time it takes to get your food at a fast good joint! 2 week wait!
I’ve had two dresses altered here and both have fit me perfectly! Customer service is great! Location is great for me! Price is Excellent! She knows what she’s doing and makes you look great!

I recommended this place for prom dress alterations! She has a great quality service that is quick and inexpensive. My 5-​layer dress needed to be hemmed and she only charged $ 40. Her starting price is $ 35 for hems on formal dresses. It is really inexpensive and she does an excellent job.
She only took a week to complete my dress during the busy prom season. All the alterations that she does is really inexpensive as well. She did an excellent job! I would come back here if I had another dress that I needed to be altered!

I have had multiple pairs of pants hemmed at this store for about a year and I had no problems up until now.
This time I brought some casual long dresses to hem and when I tried them on at home, the bottoms of all the dresses were crooked. The right side was longer on one, the left side was longer on the other, and it was up-​and-​down along the entire bottom of the third dress. I took it to another alteration store and the seamstress there told me that when the seamstress was cutting the fabric, she was probably pulling the fabric and therefore she cut and sewed the bottom crooked.
I must mention that Helen usually did my alterations (or at least the fitting) in the past but this time another women did the fitting. That may be the reason for the subpar job.

Called to make an appointment for alternations (all I wanted was a hem) to a dress. I didn’t need the dress for another month, but was thinking ahead. The lady answered the phone and informed me that they «were really booked up» and unable to do my dress. BTW — I was extremely pleasant and respectful. I’ve never heard of a BUSINESS turning away business for something so simple as a hem. Some advice for DHP — «There are hills and valleys in business. You never know where your future business may come from. Word of mouth is very strong and unfortunately the negative experiences speak much louder than the positive ones. You don’t have to worry about this once-​potential customer calling or soliciting your service again».

I’ve been looking for a place to hem my pants in the West Side and I found this gem on Unilocal.The ladies here are very sweet and did a great job on my pants. Prices are very reasonable and their work is excellent. This place is on Kamehameha Hwy but their
shop is in the building in the back.

I chose DHP Alterations based on their Unilocal reviews. They were the only alteration place around with multiple 5 star reviews. I took in an evening gown to be hemmed and altered. The gown is chiffon and I did not trust just anybody to work with that material. I took it in to DHP and it was better than I hoped. They had me in a dressing room, had the dress pinned, and had me out the door in well under 10 minutes. As I was not in a hurry for it, I had it back in a week, and I cannot even tell there were alterations done; it looks just like it came that way and now it fits perfectly. It was cheap too, only $ 25 (cash only). I did have a little trouble finding them as they are back behind another building, but I would definitely recommend taking your business here!

I always bring my good cloths to her to get tailored. She does great work and gives great prices. I’ve brought her everything from leather jackets to jeans. I’ve gone here over a dozen times and always pleased.

Owner is polite and pleasant to deal with, excellent workmanship and awesome prices. Call first, stop by and discuss/​drop off your item, it’ll be ready as she states it. Good price, good experience, excellent quality. I refer her to everyone that has a need for alterations, patch sewn on, or any sewing requirement. She has the equipment and talent to meet all requirements and challenges. Mahalo and Aloha to DHP Alterations.

Amazing! The price is great and so is the quality. I’ve been to a couple tailors on the island and this is where I’ll be going from now on. Whatever you need done I suggest you give DHP a try. You won’t regret it

She really is as great as everyone says.
I walked in, no appointment needed, and she greeted me. I told her I wanted a few things altered and she told me to try them on. I had about 4 pants hemed, 3 dresses needed to be taken in, and 1 long sleeve with sleeves that were too long. It was about 60 bucks and worth every penny. She is so quick too! I came out of her fitting room and she would just pin my garments and then onto the next garment. I was in and out in about 15 – 20 minutes! You look better when your clothes actually fit you and I will be sure to go back to Aunty Helen again!
*Cash Only!!!

Helen is amazing. Her prices are bar none. I took my wedding dress for alterations, and am having a corsette* added in, and the zipper in the back removed. She charges $ 50−75…David’s Bridal quoted prices for this alteration STARTING at $ 195, not including the $ 15 corsette piece I wuold have to purchase! If you do the math, it is easy to see why I chose to take my dress to Helen =)

Found this place on Unilocal.Read the reviews so decided to bring a couple of my pants to be hemmed before my business trip. Can’t say enough nice things about Helen. Very friendly, professional quality alterations, and quick turn around time. Will definitely be back. Tell all your friends! A little hard to find but so worth it.

Helen and her staff are really friendly and very accommodating. I am leaving for a trip in a few days and needed a couple skirts taken in and hemmed and they are taking all steps to make sure I get them back before I leave.
