Nick s Tailor Shop

I came here to get two dresses tailored for my graduation, and I am so pleased to say that they turned out perfectly! Nick was very professional, kind, and easy to speak to. He asked me a lot of questions to make sure the measurements were exactly what I wanted. As a petite woman, it’s very difficult finding dresses that fit me properly. The shift dress Nick tailored was just the right fit and length. The other dress he tailored was also done beautifully. You can’t see the hem from the outer part of the skirt. The dress didn’t originally come like that, but I love that he did it because it makes the skirt look cleaner and doesn’t distract from the velvet floral design.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place! It’s an incredibly reasonable price for the quality work you’re getting! The dresses were also done in a timely manner — just in time for my graduation! I am coming back to this place!

Nick has hem my Levi Pants & dress pants. He did an amazing job with all my pants, very professional and good customer service. His daughter Doris took my order and she was very polite and friendly. This is the only place I come to if I want to go to a tailor shop because I trust them and there very professionals with there work.

The girl they got working today abruptly hung up on me and then never picked up the phone again simply because I asked how much hemming would cost on a maxi dress and that I would be driving far just get an estimation. Poor service, she spoke English just fine.

Just got my suit done here. First one Ive taken to Nick. Gotta say Im really happy!
I appreciate that his prices are up front, printed on a piece of paper right by the front desk. So its not like the tailor appraises the work on the spot, which has happened to me before.
Also, Nick was easy to communicate with. Got the jacket sides tapered, sleeves taken in, pant legs tapered and hemmed — all to my specifications. He also added some extra stuff for me — suspender buttons.
All in all, great experience! Already brought a friend to get his suit done here.

Nick was great and helped tailor my jacket, it was the first time. I visited because of Unilocal.I feel satisfied with the work and will return with any clothes that need altering. I can tell Nick wants you to leave satisfied with the work and is helpful to do so.

So I recently bought 2 new suits and one was a good quality one. I really needed it tailored because it was too big for me but I got a great deal on it so I was destined to find the right tailor. I live in Chula Vista and there are many tailors around that area but after doing my research I made the drive to Nick’s in La Jolla, and let me just say it was worth every penny. It was more than I expected to pay but there are certain things in life you can’t cheap out in so you have to pay for the best. He has a great service and was very helpful. Definitely coming back next time when I have more suits to tailor. The suits were ready a few days before the day of pick up as well. Good turn around.

Well, this is by far, but really far, the best place for repairing your clothes. I’m French, i have been in San Diego for 7years, tried many many places before finding this one, all were bad, job was expensive and really badly done.
But Nick’s tailor shop is seriously amazing, and totally affordable.
Just go there you will see they are the best…

I will keep coming back to Nick for my alterations! He altered a trench coat to fit my petite frame and it fit perfectly! Nick goes above and beyond.

A reasonable price, very courteous service, and excellent work — I’m very happy with alterations made to a suit of mine.

I went in to get a bridesmaid dress taken in on the top, as well as hemmed at the bottom. When he put the pins in the bottom, I asked that the dress be longer than where he pinned. I repeated it 3 times. When I picked up the dress, it was hemmed shorter and came up above my feet. If I pull the dress down so it was long as I had asked, my chest and boobs completely and distastefully show. When I showed him it was too short, he said you said «not longer». That is not the case. I was very frustrated and asked if he could fix. He said no. He then said he could steam it to see if it would make it longer. I was so frustrated I left the store. I paid $ 80 for a bad job on the hem. Where he took it in for the top was fine. I am just really disappointed especially 3 weeks before a wedding and with no fix or offer of reimbursement.

Great tailor, low key spot but his work is top notch. I had my jacket slimmed along with the pants and I can’t tell the difference between the seam he modified and the original.

Nick is the best in the business! I had the suit for my wedding tailored here and I could not have been happier. He also helped me bring two suits I had not worn in 5+ years back to life. Also, I came to him in a pinch yesterday needing some work done on a suit and he was able to get it turned around (and pressed) in 1 day! Great guy and customer service A++

First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the reviewers for recommending Nick. Without your great reviews, I probably wouldn’t have found this place!
Now to my review. I’m going to try to keep this short. As stated by almost everyone in here, Nick is an amazing tailor. He’s extremely professional, courteous, and honest, which is a valuable trait that many do not possess. I’ve taken a couple of blazers and jackets to him, and he’s tailored all of them to perfection, and in a timely manner. Out of the blazers and jackets that I’ve taken to him, I was slightly concerned regarding sleeve length of a particular blazer. The reason I say he’s honest is because he told me that there was nothing wrong with the length of the sleeves, and that no work was needed for them. Finally, the prices are affordable. High quality tailoring at an affordable price!

Let me start by saying I don’t write detailed reviews unless I experience exceptionally good service and Nicks Tailor shop is deserving of the good reviews that you see on Unilocal.
I am visiting from out of state with an emergency request of hemming 11 pairs of pants on the same day. This is no easy task and a regular tailor would have turned down this request; however, the owner of the shop, Nick, not only accommodated my request but was very professional, friendly and caring about my specific preferences. He made the entire experience enjoyable.
This is my first time with Nick and he treated me as if I were a longtime, loyal member. He is the most efficient tailor I have been to so far. I was able to get my pants back in an record time of 2 hours. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable and cheaper than tailor shops I’ve been to elsewhere. The job was done very well and there were no blemishes visible. I am so grateful for Nicks service. Thank you!
Again, Nicks Tailor shop is deserving of the highest recommendations. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.

I don’t tend to write reviews on Unilocal,unless the business is really bad or really good. In this case, I’m very impressed with the work Nick has done for me.
I started going to his shop about six months ago, and since I’m on the shorter, smaller side, I pretty much have to get everything tailored to my body. Thankfully he has very affordable prices and he’s able to finish the job very quickly.
I highly recommend him to others, I will definitely be going back!

Nick’s Tailor Shop is located in the Costa Verde Plaza near Robeks /​Chipotle /​Five Guys.
I came here to get some pants hemmed — which can get tricky depending on the pants. He did an amazing job on all of my pants.
I’m definitely coming back here!

I needed two suits I just got off rack to be tailored for some occasions coming up, and soon as I walked in nick’s tailor place, I know this is the right place to go. Nick took a good measurement of my sleeve length, pants’ length, then I told him I wanted the sleeve and pant legs narrowed, and everything else …(make your requests, Nick is very understanding and helpful).
Walked in the store after 5 days to pick ‘em up (I had two suits to be tailored, maybe take less days if you only have one), tried them on, they looked on fleek!
Would definitely come back and recommend this store to my friends.

If you are saddened at the thought that you won’t get your wedding garment tailored in time, please stop and smile. You will look beautiful/​handsome on your wedding day.
I went in to Nick’s, after being rejected by the Nordstrom’s tailor, and Nick did everything he could to make my dress look perfect on me in 3 days!
I appreciate Nick’s flexibility, customer service, and timeliness.

Decades. Yes. Decades.
It has taken me that long to find a true artist of cloth. Nick is truly amazing! I’m almost afraid to give him such a high rating because he’ll be so flocked with business that I would have to spend another 20 years looking for a real tailor. And make no mistake — he has over 30 years experience as a tailor. A real tailor! Not that joint where you drop your shirt off to get dry cleaned and altered — no, no, no — Nick is the real deal. Fast, personable — he has done far better than any of the other local ‘alterations’ stores you see in the area.
So buy that suit off that rack, get that shirt taken in, that skirt hemmed —- just don’t go anywhere else but to Nick. This many 5 star ratings — for a tailor — yeah, pretty amazing job!!!

So far I’m a fan!
Vanity sizing is not my friend, but Nick’s tailor shop does a great job at tailoring my clothes. I’ve always had a problem with my waist being too small so every pair of dress pants I buy never hug my contours right (good problem to have, right?). Tailoring gets expensive, but even though Nick’s isn’t the cheapest tailor I’ve ever gone to… they’re also not the most expensive. Sure there are cheaper tailors, but do they provide quality work? In my humble opinion… this tailor shop is worth every penny!
Also…it’s inside the «Computerized Cobbler» so if you need shoe or leatherwork done… it’s kind of like a one-​stop shop! So convenient!
