Hanh Tailor

My boyfriend needed some pants hemmed and a suit tailored on a Sunday. This is one of the few places open so we decided to drop by.
He was initially measured by the gentleman who works there. He was very accommodating and made sure my boyfriend liked the fit despite the language barrier. So 5 stars for him!
My boyfriend thought the woman didn’t measure him very well and kind of did it more as a routine. So the last pair of pants he got hemmed didn’t fit him the same way the other ones did. Sucks because that was his favorite pair :(
Anyway, the suit came out surprisingly well for the price ($ 40 for the jacket, and $ 18 for the pants). I was a little weary to bring his suit here because there aren’t many reviews on their suit alterations on Unilocal,but I think we both agree it’s a great place for those of us on a budget.

Awesome service!!! She altered my daughter’s dress while I waited. Just in time for our TET parties this weekend. It fits perfectly. thank you.

I needed to get my uniform updated with my hash marks… most places charge about $ 6 – 8. If you add the expedite fee you looking at about $ 12 – 15 and that’s a fair price. I went to a few shops and discovered this one after 45 mins of hunting. Well they def did a great job and very affordable.

I’ve been here a few times to get some pants, dresses and skirts tailored. This place is SO inexpensive and produces good quality results. Recently I went to a tailor that was closer to my house because I didn’t want to deal with the traffic around the Bolsa area. They quoted me $ 25 just to make my skirt smaller. I decided to pass and go to Hanh Tailor and they did a great job for less than half the price! Definitely worth the drive and dealing with bad traffic.

I have been going here for a few years now and have never been disappointed. They do a great job with all types of alterations and all types of materials. They are extremely reasonably priced. My only warning is that you call them before going in to pick up your clothes because they sometimes get very busy and may not have your stuff ready on the scheduled date.

Not only are they open on Sundays, they can also do same day alterations!!! I came in and was immediately measured by a gentleman. They told me to come back in an hour. I thought it was too good to be true but they had all 4 pants altered and ironed!!! They had me try ‘em on and everything was more than perfect! Both the gentleman and the lady were super friendly. I am definitely coming back and would recommend them to anyone who needs alterations.

As my previous review stated, I brought in two gowns to be fixed by Chi Hanh. She was going to charge me $ 90 for both. She told me it would take her two weeks to finish them since she’s really busy. Also to call her a couple days ahead to remind her because she’s been so busy she’s forgetful. That seemed like a very irresponsible and unprofessional request but I thought maybe it’s because I’ve been coming to her for years so she feels a little more comfortable with me, that I’ll be more understanding. I said sure, I’ll remind her. I called her on Thursday before coming in since she closes on Wednesdays but she told me she hasn’t started on them yet; I should call her back the next morning. I reminded her that I really need at least one of the dresses for a wedding that Saturday so please, please finish it. I called her the Friday morning and no one answered! I had to go to work so I couldn’t call her the rest of the day. I called her Saturday morning hoping she was done and I can come pick it up during lunch time but she said she still hasn’t worked on them and why didn’t I call to remind her? I told her I did and no one answered. Which, by the way, it is not my job to remind her to do her work. She said, «oh, it was probably because I came to work late». I got annoyed, and was a bit disappointed in Chi Hanh. I had to attend the wedding that day and I didn’t have a dress to wear. Why didn’t she work on the dresses? I didn’t get it! I gave her plenty of time and notice. I reminded her that I needed one of the dresses for a wedding that night! She had the audacity to tell me that she’ll work on it immediately and for me to come at 4 pm to pick it up. Wedding starts at 4:30! Does that make any sense? Why do I have to feel rushed and stressed when she’s the one that didn’t do her job? I told her I can’t make. I live 20 minutes away and the wedding is in Newport Beach. There’s no way I’d get ready, go over to get the dresses (I’d have to try them on too) and make it in time to the wedding. So I said that I’ll just have to find another dress but I’ll pick them up Monday. She said ok. She’ll have both dresses ready Monday.
Monday comes. Dresses are not done, believe it or not. I see them just hanging on their hangers. She said she’s just about to start on them. I can’t even believe my eyes and ears. I’m no longer annoyed, I’m furious. I think to myself, you’re kidding me, right? This is a fucking joke, right? She had the two weeks to finish them but she didn’t. I gave her all weekend to work on them but she didn’t. Her excuses were that she couldn’t remember if she told me they’d be done Monday or Tuesday. She thought she said Tuesday. I know I agreed to Monday since that’s my only day off. She told me to come back in two hrs and she’ll have them done. Why in God’s name can she finish them in two hrs but not in two and a half weeks? At this point, my mind is no longer boggled but it’s given up completely on this tailor. I will not sit around for two hrs to have her hastily work on my dresses. I told her to give them back to me. She apologized but it’s just too little, too late. I will never ever give this place my business again. It sucks since I’ve been such a loyal customer for years but that didn’t mean anything to Chi Hanh.

I love this place! The people are nice and really helpful to me. I came here to fix my prom dress since it’s a little big on me. Hanh told me to try on the dress so that she could take a look at it. Then she asked me when do I need it and gave me a paper w a date so i know when to pickup the dress. In a week, i did come back and the guy suggested me to try it on to see if it fit me or not. They did a great job, it fits perfect and not loose like before when i tried it on again (it’s a strapless prom dress). For the price, i think it’s really cheap because i only need to pay 25 $ to fix the bust, waist, and hips. But at the end i tip them since they are friendly, cheap price, and amazing work!!! :)

Hanh is very professional, she knows exactly where to fix and where not cut/​fix. My gf has been to 4 different places in Bolsa for Ao Dai, we got 4 dresses but none of them as pretty as we expect. plus 2 more from VN. At other places, they are so pushy and just get the work done and get the money, no work ethic at all. Here at Hanh Tailor, we don’t even pay anything til work is done. and she is so knowledgeable and professional. I come back and forth this place for like 3 time to have the dress done because she has to fix a little detail on the dress untill you are satisfied with t. Love this place !!!

This place is located on the second floor above the Van’s Bakery. They’re super nice, super quick, speak English, and have really great prices! I got my long pants hemmed for $ 4 and they had it in ready and nicely done within 5 minutes.

For the price you pay and the quality of service, you can’t beat Hanh. She will tell you whether or not an alteration can be done, or should be done, before you pay anything, so you don’t feel cheated after. I had a dress from XXI that needed to be taken in from shoulder to hip. She did this perfectly for $ 7.
The only thing I’d say is that sometimes they forget about your order if it’s not a big one. Lately I’ve had to call in to remind or ask them whether or not the alterations were done. Also, parking is a little horrendous (try not go on weekends). It is located in the far right corner of the plaza, upper level. Closed Wednesdays

I never really hem my jeans or let alone fix them. I usually just deal with it by folding it or by buying the perfect fit ones. However, my aunt bought me a pair of boot cut 7 jeans and it just looked so gross on me. A short person in boot cut jeans is anything but cute, and I certainly cannot pull it off. So I found Hanh on Unilocal (thanks friends!), and came to her with my need-​to-​be-​fixed jeans and another perfect pair to replicate it. I wanted them skinny and shorter. After the estimate, she told me it’s be $ 18. I was shocked at how much it’d cost me to fix my jeans :(However, I agreed to fix it anyway. She told me it’d be a week to have them ready. A week later, I came to pick it up and she insisted that I tried them on. I hate trying on jeans because I’m so lazy but she kept insisting because she wanted me to leave satisfied. They fit perfectly! And you couldn’t even tell that these jeans were even bootcut. It was as if I had bought them skinny straight out of nordstroms. Thank you, Hanh :) I would come here to fix my designer jeans only. No point of fixing $ 50 jeans if it’s gonna cost you almost $ 20 right?

Tailoring on my suits was sloppy at best. Very overpriced, changing room has clothes pins all over the floor and I’m surprised I didn’t get stabbed by one. It’s a hole in the wall and your suit will look like it came from here. I was given a ticket with one price and when I came to pick it up the «forgot» to charge me $ 8 more for pants? Very unprofessional. I have to go pay someone else to fix their terrible job.

The first time I came here, Hanh was very nice, and hem/​tailored my levi jeans for $ 7! However, the second time I came here, I brought in the same style jeans and asked for her to hem/​tailored my jeans the same way, but this time, she charged me $ 15! Inconsistent pricing, just not ideal for me…=/ It might be for you, but not for me… and finding parking in this area sucks too! Don’t get me wrong, shes very knowledgeable of what she does, but the pricing is just inconsistent.

Nice people. They do a good job here. The price is reasonable,.BUT two out of three times, they do not have my stuff done on the date as promised. It’s so frustrating to try and find a parking space, and then walk up to the tailor to hear that they are not done yet. They are a bit unorganized. I’m taking this chance to rate them, as I am on Unilocal to look for another tailor that would complete my clothes on the date they promised.

If you are looking for a place to get alterations done, THIS IS IT! I got seven pairs of pants hemmed here and a dress. The prices are great. You can’t get a better deal. The work is great. You will be really happy.
You just have to be prepared… this place is no frills and to the point and Thu N. says.
Trust me on this one. I do my own hems, but at the rate this place charges it is worth it to get it done and save myself the time.
I usually treat myself to a macaron at Van’s Bakery, they are right above them.

Holy mother of a cluster crunch. One big disclaimer all other Unilocalers failed to write about; the hidden location and parking congestion. A heads up would have been nice to prepare for… thrown with both of that at once I had a mouth worse than a sailors. Yikes!
The whole shopping center where Hanh’s is, is a NIGHTMARE. Um, do not go on a holiday, weekend, after work day. As if Little Saigon wasn’t already bad enough, it does get worse. I had to park alongside a no parking zone with my hazards on because parking was non existent, after a 15 minute drive in circles. Ugh.
It was busy, and they did their best to get me in and out in the order of who came first. The woman and man duo are very friendly.
I had an assortment of items, dress, skirt, jeans, shirt, etc. Prices varied but they seemed fair. My total was $ 30 to get things taken in and adjusted because of it being too big. They did a good job with everything I asked to be done.
Hanh’s is invisible from the street (Bolsa), you have to go as far back as the shopping center goes to find it on the second story, right next to the super market which is the furthest establishment in the parking lot.
All in all my experience was good, but I might not regular here only bc I rather avoid this congestion. It stresses me out!
p.s CASH only.

I’m from Westminster, Ca. I currently reside in Santa Monica so it was difficult to adjust to paying really high prices for just «ok» service. Hanh Tailor is the quintessential Vietnamese tailor. Hanh is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft. She knows the body well and knows how fabrics fall or should drape the body. She can look at a dress and tell you before you even put it on whether or not it is «doable» or «fixable». This is the type of service I’m use to.
On top of having a very very knowledgeable tailor on hand, the prices just cannot be beat. This place is a long way from Santa Monica but it is worth the drive, time and money to go there (plus my parents live here so its not so bad) as you won’t have to make a second trip to re-​alter (the worse!). Hanh’s prices are almost obscene.
I had two holiday dresses fixed. The first one needed to be tightened from the waist to the hips and the shoulder of the dress needed to be fixed as well. Cost? $ 15. The second dress had been butchered by my dry cleaning place (see review) THREE times (my fault for continuing to go back). Hanh was barely able to fix this dress. Cost? $ 18. The last item was just hemmed. Cost: $ 4
I now consider Hanh my seamstress. She will be altering all my clothing moving forward and maybe even sewing from scratch anything fancy I will be needing.

No frills and thrills… this is the bottom line:
2 Blazers with sleeves shortened/​cuffs taken up $ 10/​$ 15 each
1 pair of pants shortened $ 3.00
(…yes, I’m a short person all around =)
1 pair of pants taken in at the waist (for girls who suffer from *tight on the bootie, loose on the waist* pants. $ 10 + $ 1.00 to fix a loose hem
1 dress completely altered. I loved this sheath dress, but the back area was made for someone who’s probably a foot taller. To proportion it, it involved shortening the back, re-​shaping the neckine, and reshaping the armpit line. $ 33.
Total: $ 72
I was in no hurry, so it was ready in two weeks. i could no doubt get it done quickly had it not been for the dress and had I not been so laid back about it (let’s be honest, I come to Bolsa maybe every 2 weeks anyway)
Altogether, the price is very good for all the work I got done. Instead of wasting $ 500 on a new work wardrobe, I basically refreshed the clothes I’ve pushed to the back of the closet due to the fit all for $ 72. What I also like was their honesty as they rejected hemming a suit as they felt the length was perfect on me and that it would be waste of money. I would recommend coming here during the weekday because the parking lot is just one huge cluster f*ck on the weekend.

Inexpensive place to get your pants hemmed. $ 3 or $ 6 to keep the original hem.
Dropped my jeans of on Tuesday, they were ready on Friday.
They did a good job, but I’m not that picky.
