La Mirage Cleaners

I used to love La Mirage. We lived in the neighborhood and used their services for years. We liked this place so much that although we moved away, we still go out of the way to bring our dry cleaning here.
Early in May, I guess they had put some other lady in charge. When I brought in a bunch of clothes early, a male worker took my clothes, but failed to tell me that they no longer offered the 20% early bird discount. So when I went back to pick up my clothes (half of which wasn’t ready by the promised time so I went back twice), the new owner told me that they no longer offered that discount and the worker just forgot to tell me. I looked up at the sign that clearly said 20% early bird discount, confused. If your worker failed to disclose the discontinuation while the sign was still up, any other shop would have honored the discount and apologized. She did neither. But she promised she would give me the discount next time I bring back «a lot of clothes».
Fine. I bring back another 10 pieces of clothing, and by this time the lady had put a piece of paper over their early bird discount sign. When I picked up my clothes, she offered me $ 3 on a $ 72 order. That’s not even a 10% discount.
Needless to say, won’t be coming back here ever. Sigh, I miss the old owner.

I live in the neighborhood and find this location to be very convenient for me. The service has been great and my items have been returned spotless… well, except for one blazer…
…I realized a week after I had picked up about a half-​dozen skirts and shirts that my favorite fitted white blazer from Banana Republic was MIA. I returned to La Mirage and inquired about the blazer. The clerk knew exactly what I was talking about and pulled the jacket from under the counter. I found it to be strange that the blazer was not mentioned when I picked up my other items (again, they turned out great!) The clerk said that because of the beige-​yellowish stain covering about 60% of the blazer they decided to not treat the blazer in fear of making it worse or even destroying it. She told me that the material would be safe enough to bleach and that the best treatment would be to soak the blazer overnight in a sink or bucket full of water and a cup of bleach. Well, what do you know?! It worked. The blazer is back in my closet and looks great.
I appreciate the dedication to doing what is best for the customer’s pieces. However, It would’ve been nice to get the blazer back without the panic of thinking that I had lost it. Nonetheless, this is my go-​to dry cleaner and will undoubtedly be back.
IMPORTANT INFO: Take advantage of the 20% off early-​bird special: drop your items off before 8:00 am Monday — Friday.

I’ve gotten a few things dry cleaned here before but I just got four sportcoats tailored. She gave me an amazing price and even had them steamed for me. The alterations were great too. La MIrage is only a few blocks from my office so I’m going to keep going to them for everything I need

Dry cleaning in SF is expensive compared to NYC. I never lived in NY but I know they wash shirt for $ 1 to $ 2 a piece. Thats why people get laundry services. Freakin HK princesses.

As a working professional, I constantly visit the dry cleaner. Apparently Banana Republic and J. Crew only make Dry Clean Only clothes :/​In the past 4 years I’ve been to well over 10 different dry cleaners. Some provided AMAZING service, but were never open (closed at 3pm) others were decently priced but had crappy service.
I finally found an amazing dry cleaner that just happens to be amazing and close to my office!
La Mirage is relatively quick, offers a discount if you come in really early (I don’t because I like to sleep in), and is super personable. I am always impressed when someone remembers your name. I go to the starbucks nearby almost everyday at the same time and order the same thing and he still can’t remember my name. But the people at La Mirage remember my name and remember when I forget to pick up my clothes a month later (even though I basically forgot!)
All in all, A+ service.

I like this dry cleaning place.
I work close by so I can drop off my clothes before heading to work.
The lady who had helped me was really nice, their cleaning is great and the price is reasonable.
I just wish that they could get the job done in 24 hours.
I have yet to try their alteration service.

I’m a former customer of Sohn’s Cleaners diagonally across the street from La Mirage. You can read my review of Sohn’s in which I report on their sky-​high high prices and their poor service, and especially their poor handling of an «incident».
Today, I walked diagonally across the street from Sohn’s to La Mirage where I deposited my latest batch of laundry and dry-​cleaning. I was pleasantly greeted by Linda, the OWNER. I simply said that I was unhappy with the service at Sohn’s and she said, «And how about their PRICES?» She then smiled warmly and said, «We’ll take good care of you!» I’ll update you on La Mirage when I collect my garments!
Sept. 2010 Here’s the update: garments were nicely done. And batches of others, too. Service performed with a smile. Linda even remembers my name; I’m a happy camper.
I recently brought in a sewing project. I could see that Linda had a sewing machine there (across the street at Sohn’s, garments are sent out that require sewing). Linda, on the other hand, is often at her machine which is located right there in the shop window. Here’s what I wanted: I wanted a duvet cover made. It was fairly simple. I couldn’t find one I liked «off the rack» and I am a stickler for luxury bedding, so I bought two 800 TC sheets– different ones– and asked her to stitch them together. She did and the resulting duvet is lovely and I’m well-​pleased.
Service is key for me. This shop runs circles around Sohn’s across the street!

They turned my dry cleaning over in almost no time at all. Very nice and friendly and of course, did an excellent job! You could tell she’s a perfectionist and fixed buttons and a few other things that I didn’t expect to be included. Great price. Great service!

Fantastic!
They took care of my emergency-​these-​pants-​HAVE-​to-​be-​hemmed-​by-​Thursday rush order with no drama or incident. I lucked out by having a job close to a trusted and beloved tailor.

La Mirage does a fantastic job with my dry cleaning. Service is excellent, and it’s super convenient if you work in Levi’s Plaza, or work out at the Bay Club. Prices are reasonable too.
They also practice environmentally friendly dry cleaning, which is an added bonus.
