Ann’s Alterations & Tailoring

I had a jumpsuit that had a small rip and broken zipper – I definitely need to start working out again! *sadface
I went in and she said it’d be available the next day. I paid only $ 3. Next day I came in, picked it up and done.
Nothing else much to say. It was a very simple experience and it was right around the corner from where I live.

Fast but pricey and a bad attitude if you have to come back to get your original order done correctly.
I recently moved to the area and was in search for an alteration place. I chose this place because of the good Unilocal reviews and proximity. I came here to get some pants and dresses altered. All of my clothing just needed to be hemmed for my height. I didn’t ask for anything difficult.
Ann was very nice while I was there the first time. She even said she’d have them done in 2 days. When I went back to pick them up I didn’t have time to try them on there. Once I finally tried them on at home, I found out they were all too long. I decided to just bring back the dresses for her to fix and wearing higher heels with my pants.
When I went back to tell her my dresses were still too long she gave me so much attitude!!! She said it was my fault for not taking the time to look in the mirror on the first day when she was measuring it. It was definitely not my fault and even if it was she shouldn’t be giving that attitude to her customers.
I will not be coming back ! I actually went to another store, Charlie’s on Adam’s, and had the pants that she hemmed and left too long hemmed again. I had a such a better experience there and they were done correctly without and attitude too!

I’ve tried many tailors and haven’t been to anyone better. I’ve had pant legs hemmed, slimmed, sweater zipper replaced and other items. All done fast, great quality and very reasonable price.

Ann’s is really close to where I live, so when I had a few things that needed tailoring, this was my first choice.
The shop is nice inside, with everything a tailor’s shop should have: try-​on rooms, a mirror with a pedestal to stand on, and a nice lady with a very heavy accent wielding pins and chalk.
I had 4 items, the total came to around $ 40, which I thought was a little high. I paid most of it in advance, and the rest when I picked it up.
I was told I could pick up my items on a Wednesday, but when I showed up that afternoon — during business hours — the shop was closed! A bit inconvenient, but everybody needs to cut out early sometimes, right?
Anyway, Ann did a great job! I’ll probably keep going back, since she’s so close.

I agree with the unimpressive store front but that is not important to me. I went to her because she had good reviews and she was close to me. I took in a dress that was too big. She was fast and did a great job! I think she was reasonably priced. She charged me $ 25.

Unimpressive store front, but it’s what inside that counts. Ann is friendly and professional. She doesn’t mess around. Myself and a friend both take our pants there for alterations. The shop is quiet, and no frills. She will sometimes accommodate same day requests, without charging you extra like some of the other outfits around town. I have not ever had bad service here. Be sure to check her hours before you go. And yes, parking is tricky. You may have to park across the street, and play human Frogger to get across to her store. Just look both ways :-)…Oh, and most important part. CASH ONLY, and she likes you to pay up front

Have been going here since I moved to Mira Mesa about 30 years ago!

My boyfriend/​husband and I have taken in three suits and dozens of pants to get altered. We had 2 old suits that were cut like coke machines and Ann turned them into slim fitting, tailored suits. Anyone can do a hem, but altering suits is tricky and we were really impressed.
Prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. Parking can be a little tough, but if you’re lucky there is 15 or 30 min parking right out front.
I’m dropping off shorts that need a new zipper and picking up some pants that were hemmed today!

Great services overall

I went in on a Monday with 2 sets of school uniforms from my culinary school to get pants hemmed and sleeves shortened. I was told it would take a week to get done. No biggie. But the next day I go to school and sort of get reprimanded about not coming to class in uniform, so at the end of the day my chef instructor is like, «Come to class in uniform Thursday.» So I drop by Ann’s and ask if I can take/​pick up one set of my uniforms to wear, even though she hasn’t fixed either set yet. My thinking was that she could fix one set by Monday (as agreed), while in the meantime I had a set (unfinished) to wear to school. Just so I don’t get in trouble again. But she said she could fix one set in time for school the next day at no extra charge (I already paid her in advance). When I picked up the one altered uniform, it fit perfectly. I didn’t feel like a little kid swimming in oversized pajamas, no needing to fold anything up. I’ll definitely go back for other clothing items, because Buddha knows my short arms & legs need it.
