Bozo’s Tailoring & Alteration

DON’T GO HERE!
This woman does not listen. She sews her vision, not yours. And that would be great if she was as great as she obviously thinks she is. I am definitely glad that she is not my hair stylist! She does what she wants and then when you ask her to re-​do it the way you asked her to do it. She gets extremely grouchy. And as the other reviews have reported «tries» to make it seem as if her mistakes are your fault.
My husband bought an extra large vest for our daughter’s wedding. He has been losing weight but still can’t fit into an extra large. We asked for a certain amount of inches and she said «oh you don’t need that much!» My husband said that he wanted it to be comfortable.
She argued but agreed. When he went to pick it up at the tune of $ 60, he knew it would still be tight when he sat down and she had obviously not listened and had done what she wanted.
He took it back with me, and said he wanted another inch. She was not happy that he returned and argued that an inch would be too much and she was going to do it a half an inch. He said to do it an inch and if it was too big he’d rather have it that way than the other way around.
When we returned…
He buttoned the top bottom and said «Much better.» He said «how much do I owe you?» And she said $ 60 like it was so great that she hadn’t charged more for NOT FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. My husband was even willing to pay more if she could do it right which bugged me because she should have done it right the first time.
She made some derogatory comment towards my husband about not knowing what he was talking about and rolled her eyes at me, looking for confirmation and I just stared back at her. She thought we were going to have a little laugh at his expense. Not with me BOZO!
Her customer service is the worst that I have ever experienced. I can’t imagine a bride going to her. She is so cranky, this was the Father Of The Bride Vest and she was definitely a nightmare to deal with/​I can’t imagine a bride needing to be able to tell her exactly the alterations she wanted, and feeling concerned about making her upset.
In the end…
She obviously only did a half an inch which was much better on top but still the exact same on the bottom. She does what she wants, not what she’s asked to do. And so the stitches are already coming out, as expected. She also snipped into the fabric. Just shoddy work.
Oh yeah and she doesn’t accept credit cards. That would have been nice to know before hand.
I can’t believe that we didn’t know that Mary Ann was still around!!! Someone told us she moved!
If you want to go to an expert alteration place!

PROS: Because of this horrible experience, we learned that Mary Ann Gettmann Custom Sewing Expert & Alterations is still in town!

I needed to get the zipper of a dress fixed and since ive never use such services in Paso, i thought I’d check the reviews. I saw that this place has a lot of bad reviews and did not consider it at all. However it was around Xmas holidays and no one in town was open before the event i needed the dress for. So i sent my husband as he was off work and he called me while he was there so i can talk to the lady while she has my dress. She explained to me that she doesnt know how to do a «hidden zipper», the type that every single dress with a zipper has. I asked what she could do and she said she can just put a new zipper on the outside of the dress (the way jackets have them). I said no and took my dress home and fixed it myself. It seemed unprofessional to me that she cant change a simple zipper. That’s like being a police office and not knowing how handcuffs work.

I feel very bad writing this. Although, I also feel obligated. I went to Bozo’s to simply have two suits fitted. I did not believe the experience that ensued. My suits were worth approximately $ 700.00 each. I paid Mrs. Bozo approximately $ 220.00 expecting her to do a fantastic job. Much to my horror this was not the case. It took her a little over 2 months and the job was still not accomplished in its proper fashion. Not only did she destroy one of my suits, she also attempted to try and make me feel as if it were my fault. She said I had too much muscle and it was impossible to do correctly. This was 1 of many excuses she came up with throughout the process. I will never go there again. I would suggest going an alternate route if you are in need of a tailor. I’m sorry but this was ridiculous.

I was recommended to go to Bozos by a friend of mine. She told me I wouldn’t be disappointed and well, frankly I was. I had four pairs of bottoms taken in; two that were perfect, 1 wasn’t taken in enough and the 4^th’s waist fit perfectly, but the lower area in the butt looked really funky. I won’t be returning to Bozos, because now I have to have them retailored.

I had a ball gown that needed shortening and the straps that were full of beading needed to be taken in. I first went to a place in San Luis Obispo because I was unsure with the negative review that Bozo had, but then took the dress to Bozos and I am SO GLAD THAT i DID!!! The owner there is so funny, she should have her sit com. NOW, that I got the dress back, it fits and looks wonderful, you can’t even tell it wasn’t made like that!

I’ve seen some negative/​critical reviews for this place, but my experiences have been uniformly positive. The prices seem to me reasonable/​typical if not cheap, the work I’ve had done has been done well and quickly, and the staff has been easy to deal with. Granted, I’ve only asked them to do relatively simple things – hem pants, repair tears in clothing – so I can’t comment on more complex jobs.

Mrs. Bozo is the best!
I’ve had 3 or 4 hems put on slacks that needed it and had no problems or complaints. She does repairs to sweaters that you can’t even see. Really good work.
I even split my old swimming trunks down the butt at the local pool and was able to run down to her and she fixed them right away with a couple of good laughs.

Expert tailors! They did every job perfectly from simple hemming to reconstructing leather jackets. Amazing find. Little pricey but they work with you and it’s worth it:-)

Oh why didn’t we listen to the first reviewer!!! Bought six drapes at Lowe’s for our long front windows and brought them in to be hemmed up a few inches. We even pinned one drape to the exact size necessary. We assumed the price to be in the $ 8.00/each range, the same as we’ve paid in the South County area on average. Three days later and at $ 22.00/each, we put them on the inside tension rods and not a one of them was the same length. NOT ONE! Our drapes look like an odd hodgepodge thrift store collection. Tossed them and had a custom drapery company come out. Why don’t I read Unilocal as much as I should!
