Ly’s Alteration’s

I always go here for alterations. She is great, affordable, and really friendly. I get all of my dresses and pants hemmed by her.

Tiny place, but huge customer service. Got two pairs of shorts hem for $ 10. The other place I went down the street wanted $ 12 per shorts… ridiculous. So glad I found this place. Fast return and so pleasant to deal with. Thank you

Alrighty… I found a gem!!! This is the best place for alterations PERIOD… so here we go
PROS:
1. Cheep maybe too cheep hahaha
2. Great work and fast!
3.Good location
4.Great person very friendly
5. Just about all alterations are 5 dollars
6. She has been at this location for over 20 years and that says a lot
CONS:
1.Parking can be hard sometimes
2.Hours are kind of funky but once you get use to them its fine rem she is cheep.
Ok I’m sorry I need to comment on the lady who gave 1 star. I’m sorry but if you have had one bad experience after had been going to this establishment for so long and then when you are all done bashing her say at the end you will still be going back for what ever reason! Not cool .
I feel Unilocal is such a great tool and should be used with caution. This directly effects ones business so should this sight should be used with discretion and common sense.

Brought two more pair of jeans that were a little big and long. Came back to me perfect!!! I’m not going anywhere else.

Ly is super nice, does great work (on the two items I’ve brought to her) for affordable prices.
She said she’s been there 22 years, but I just noticed her recently. I had a couple items hemmed — she did a great job. I brought some soft surf racks to her that the stitching had broken on, she said she didn’t have the right tools for that, and referred me to Chito’s Shoe Repair right down the street, which worked out great (see my review there).
You know, I love beer, and I love that people like to get their hair did to match their big beards and waxed moustaches, but I hope that old school solid USEFUL businesses like these don’t keep getting outpriced by incoming hip new hair salons and breweries and other luxury businesses every month!

So glad to have come here, so thank you Unilocal for another great find. Super affordable and she does an awesome job! I will definitely come here for anything I need altered.

She is the best. Fast and reliable.

I’ve been taking my alterations to Ly for a long time, and was very disappointed in her work this time.
I took in two silk tiered skirts to be shortened. One to be hemmed, one to be shortened from the top to eliminate the hole in the top tier. When I picked them up, the one that was supposed to be shortened from the top was not done properly. She didn’t do the alteration that way I requested it to be done, she did it HER way. That was to remove the middle tier, which was a different color than the rest of the skirt (it’s supposed to be that way), leaving the top tier with the hole that was supposed to be removed, and the skirt is now a different color.
When I brought it up to her, she denied me saying anything about shortening the top tier, and that the tier that she removed was a different color. I told her that it was done wrong, and that I would be taking it somewhere else (Susie Thai II) to be redone. Apparently, she doesn’t have the capability to do anything except straight hems, but won’t admit it. I wish she had told me that in advance, because I would have taken it straight to Susie Thai at that time.
I’ll continue to use Ly for alterations, because everything is $ 5, but only if it’s a straight hem, nothing else.

Best place for alterations that I have found in San Diego. She does a wonderful job, she is fast and very reasonably priced. Also a very nice lady. I highly recommend her.

She is amazing. I needed some patches sewn on a shirt and she offered to have it done in an HOUR… and she charged less than half of what other tailors I went to have charged in the past. Very friendly and cordial as well. The shop seems to have limited hours but it is well worth your while to make the trip to see her. If you live anywhere close to North Park, this place is a gem!

I had two black slacks that had a hole in — stitches came off — simple resewing. She did it in less than 10 minutes while i waited. Inexpensive. Winner!
Plus– I got to speak Vietnamese to her and chat about our families.
Yes, the door is locked and you have to knock for her to open the door :)
I will definitely go back here again for any alterations. Inexpensive!

She is wonderful. She is one of the least expensive places I have ever been for alterations and she is so fast. She can identify your size and alterations at a glance.
