Chayban Custom Tailor

All the fashion things I see say that everyone should have a tailor they trust; everyone in Buffalo, I would add, has Chayban’s.
I went to Chayban’s for the first time with my soon-​to-​be wife; in the rush of last-​minute planning, she had forgotten to have her wedding dress taken in for a final fitting. With a week left to until the wedding, we were frantic, but they were able to have it back in less than five days, fitted perfectly, adjusted so the train was detachable, and for a lower price than we had been given by other shops in the area for a non-​rush fitting. On a lark, I brought in a blazer I’d had for years, and for a /​very/​reasonable price they were able to fit it wonderfully — as they have the other several suits and jackets I’ve brought in. (As someone else mentioned, they offered to throw in the cleaning, but I only needed a press and told them not to worry. Instead, they actually gave me credit for a free cleaning on that blazer, one which they honored nearly a year later!)
Absolutely my go-​to tailors. I don’t know what other people are talking about in terms of not taking measurements or not being careful; that has never been my experience, and I look forward to seeing much more of them over the next several years.

I visited Chayban’s because I needed the pants hemmed on a new suit I had just purchased.
Joe was very courteous and took great measurements. He asked me what length I prefer on my pants, and it was nice to feel like I was involved in the process. He called me three days later to let me know that my suit was ready, and he even pressed it at no charge. I tried the pants on the next day and the length was absolutely perfect.
I highly recommend Chayban’s for their friendliness and quality of service!

I highly recommend Chayban’s! They did a great job on my coat for a great price. I am very pleased with their customer and business services. Go to them for their great business and customer services.

Great tailor, and the best dry cleaner in town. Prices are great, and they always find you their personal opinion, even if it doesn’t make them money.

They don’t take measurements. Who ever heard of a tailor that doesn’t take measurements? Of course there were mistakes. Just because it’s menswear doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take measurements.
I had a jacket and two pants altered. The jacket was fine. One pair of pants wasn’t hemmed enough, and was tightened in areas that didn’t need tightening. It’s unwearable. If they weren’t denim that may stretch a bit they’d be done. The other pants were hemmed too much.

Awesome tailor!!! Joe took the time to make sure my suit was fitting right, and I would be ready for the wedding.
If you are in wny and need something tailored, then this is the place to go!!!

My husband and I both went here for different things. I got a pair of pants hemmed I wore them one time and the hems fell
husband got his alterations to his military uniform– that was done really well. Then he got pairs of pants hemmed and they were hacked (uneven), too short and didn’t last.
So the fact that the quality is OK at its best and crappy at its worse… don’t go here people go somewhere else.

Now, I don’t know how many bridesmaid dresses you have worn, but I have had more than my fair share. I know all the ins and outs of bridal shop alterations — and I have learned that you should avoid the in-​store alteration service at all costs. Literally all costs — they always seem to over-​charge and under-​deliver. I can recall countless disappointments in this arena.
Given my prior experience with the particular shop we purchased the dresses from (see review of Alfred Angelo), I decided to take my alteration business elsewhere. After scanning reviews and asking around, I went with the shop closest to my home — about 1,000 feet from my driveway (convenient, eh?).
I headed over to Chayban pretty well-​informed about their history and reputation. I had heard good things about the Williamsville location and decided I would stop in my local shop to chat with them regarding my frumpy shape and flirty dress style.
Upon arrival I was greeted by a smiley woman who was clearly a successful multitasker. She paused from her phone call to say hello and let me know she would be only a moment or two. I wandered around the rather bare storefront somewhat dreading the fitting.
To my dismay, I realized the fitting area and mirrors were right in the front area of the store, in view of all of the Elmwood Village. In that moment, I seemed to forget that I would be wearing this gown in front of 200 of my bff’s closest family and friends, and I found myself feeling nervous and a bit exposed. There was comic relief when she began cracking wedding jokes and pinning the dress into shape. She assured me my dress would be ready in a few days despite a missing strap. She had great suggestions for troubleshooting the strap issue just in case.
I got that other dress strap to her the next afternoon (pfew) only to find out a young man would be executing my second fitting. He was very polite. He quickly checked my pins and sized my straps. He again assured me the turnaround would be speedy and my dress was officially sent out to be altered.
A few days later I received a call from Chayban letting me know it should only be another day or two for the completed work. I was really really happy to receive this unexpected call. The work was still on time and the courtesy was not lost on me. I was so impressed. No, really I was.
I received my pick up call right on time and made it in just before closing time the same day. Fifty dollars later my dress was altered, pressed, and strappy. I was very happy with the results. The fit was great. They even suggested I try it on again at home with my shoes and call if there were any problems.
Although some have told me this price was steep, I disagree. It was certainly cheaper than the sub-​par work I expected from the bridal shop. The alteration was completed in less than 7 days. The service alone was worth half the fee. The courtesy «Hey, we haven’t forgotten about you and your friend’s big day» made me feel like the world is just a little bit smaller than sometimes we realize.
I rocked out in that dress all night and never had so much as a stray thread. I rarely have alterations, but you can bet that if I do, I am headed straight back to Chayban.

Joe is a nice guy, but not very honest. Mistakes happen, that’s understandable, but a company should not be in the business of deceiving their costumers.
