Cecil and Reed

They are in a very tricky spot but it’s worth of finding them!
So if you are turning left to California Ave from Willow they are on a very first tiny driveway on your right. It looks like warehouse so don’t be confused.
So I just called on Saturday bcs I need my shirts to be done by Sunday that way I can go to work on Monday and appeared to be that find tailor on weekends not that easy. Those ladies are open till 5 on Saturday so I just swing by to drop off my shirt and see what they can do. Surprisingly, lady who did alteration, told me to come back in less than an hour! She is incredibly knowledgeable what she is doing!
Since I don’t know Spanish at all her daughter helped us to find common language. :)
My shirt was ready in less than 90 min total! I would consider this quick. And in a top of all she fitted it exactly how I see that.
Thank you so much ladies! I will be back with more shirts to fit.
Highly recommended!!!

I’ve never hemmed a single thing in all my life. If a clothing item is too long, I either deal with it by wearing higher heels or I let it slightly drag. If my weight fluctuates and my clothes become too loose or too tight, I just buy another item and wait for my size to fluctuate. As a result, I can only wear about a third of the items in my closet at any given time. Luckily, I live alone, and all the closets in my house are mine and mine alone. :)
This year, due to the aforementioned problem, I had to buy a prom dress. No, I’m not the oldest high school student ever, nor am I an undercover cop like in 21 Jump Street (though I wish I were and Channing Tatum was my partner…). I needed a dress to chaperone the evening, and I didn’t want to be totally outdone by my beautiful girls.
My dress was purchased at a bridal shop (I got it on clearance for $ 25! Score!!!), and it was dreadfully long. There was no way I could let it drag, because I’d find myself tripping and ruining someone’s evening (along with my own). Oh, and I’d be the laughingstock of the senior class with embarrassing photos popping up on Instagram and Snapchat. Additionally, I don’t own a pair of 10-​inch heels, so that wasn’t going to be a solution.
I decided to suck it up and get my dressed hemmed, but since I’ve never done something like this, I didn’t know where to go. Thanks to my handy dandy Unilocal app, I found Cecil and Reed.
The place looks perpetually closed, and there’s an older woman inside the gated area who does alterations. While I was there, someone else came in for some work, so she keeps herself rather busy. I was shown to a curtained area to try on my dress, but a few boxes had to be moved first, since they were stored in the way.
The measuring was straightforward and quick. I told her that I needed it by the next weekend, and she said I could get it by Friday.
In the end, the dress was hemmed nicely and I was able to walk the prom (and even dance a little) without killing myself or anyone else. My only qualm is that 1) it was $ 40 for the tailoring (albeit, I have NO IDEA how much this regularly costs. I just thought it was sad that the hemming was more expensive than my dress), and 2) I actually wish the dress had been a little longer. I think a «gown» of this type should reach all the way down to the floor and maybe drag a «bit.» This isn’t her fault, however, since she cleared the length with me. I asked her for her opinion, and that’s what we decided was the best at the time.
In any case, now that I’ve opened Pandora’s Box, I’ll most likely return to alter more of my «unwearables» at home.

Perfect. Go here. Affordable, knowledgeable, and super friendly.
I just moved into town and was looking for a new tailor to help me trim up my suit. Cecila is so sweet and wants to help you.

Jesus was my tailor for 3 years. It was like a treasure, I would rave about Jesus to any and everyone. He did phenominal work. I’m so sad to hear about his passing. He was such a sweet man and he will be missed.

Jesus has been my tailor for 2 – 3 years. he recently moved to The Academy on First and Linden. I called today and they said Jesus passed away on New Years Day 2012

I gave 2 stars I was disappointed when I came to get my wedding dress taken in. The man just looked at my dress on the table and decided he couldn’t do the job. I wouldn’t have been too annoyed if he actually tried, and asked about the dress and had me try my dress on. He said that he can only make small revisions and that what I was asking was too big. He even suggested I buy another dress, how dumb is that I just bought the damn thing. I was really annoyed and disappointed.

By far, my new tailor of choice!
I had to get a bridesmaid dress altered (
) and Jesus at Cecil and Reed did a great job! I was told by another tailor that to get the length and strap shortened, it would cost $ 60. That other tailor said that the sheer fabric on the dress would be difficult to alter, but when I brought my dress in to Cecil and Reed, Jesus looked at it and said, «No problem! I can do it!» And not only that he said he’d do it for the cost of $ 25.
When I picked up my dress, I re-​tried the dress at home, and realized the strap was tailored too short. So I took it back, and again Jesus said, «No problem! I can do it!». And he did! Seriously, he knows what he’s doing, and I love it!
And maybe that’s another thing I enjoyed so much about my experience: the people that work there. They were so friendly and accommodating.
I definitely recommend them to anyone that needs anything with stitches fixed!

Fast, excellent and reasonably priced. David’s bridal would have charged me $ 109 for the same job Cecil & reed charged me $ 25 for. Also it was ready in 2 days, whereas david’s bridal would have charged an additional $ 25 (total cost of alteration) for anything needed in less than 2 weeks!

Had a pair of Seven’s and a pair of Stitch’s jeans hemmed here a few weeks ago. They put on the original hem for $ 12 (I believe) per pair.
Excellent work quality, friendly, and fast service. Only downside was the bag of cans in the changing room to be recycled I’m guessing.

Totally stoked there’s a tailor 2 blocks from my house. Thanks Unilocalers!
Brought two pairs of slacks to have tailored. Jesus the tailor sized me up and took my measurements. My pants were ready by the next day. $ 16 for two pairs of pants. Mos def a fair price.
These is my new go-​to guys for alterations. I used to have to go to the Cerritos mall, but now I cruise down the street.
Also, visit the website, looks like they do a lot of denim work. Cool joint, will come back!

Cecil and Reed are The Sh*t I have bought several pairs of jeans from Lane and have had custom embroidery done to my jeans and leather jackets and Im always blown away by the work my man jesus performs he’s a master tailor. Cecil and Reed ROCKS ”

Just took a pair of wool dress slacks to get altered/​tailored with a cuff style bottom and Jesus (Cecil&Reed) did a fantastic job! He did a better work than Men’s Warehouse that screwed up on my other pair of slacks and for a lesser cost ($ 28 vs. $ 9). I found my tailor! From jeans to slacks… Cecil & Reed does excellent work!

In life there are certain things we all need a lawyer, a good tax man, a bailbondsman, and of course a tailor Lane over @ cecilandreed can fix anything with stitches be it a original hem or make your fat jeans skinny or skinnier to custom work scrubs and any and all alterations just a good guy to know when you want to keep that old pair of pants from high school looking like you can still wear em!
