Mesa Alterations

$ 14.99 to hem a pair of denim? A basic hem at that. AND the lead time was 8 days. I came here because it is close to my house but next time I will look elsewhere.

I could not commend Mary and her team more for their recent rush fix of a bridesmaid dress. Mary gave me honest feedback on the alterations that could be accomplished in the time available, and priced the intricate beading work fairly. The result was beyond my expectation. They turned an inexpensive alternate dress into a dream fit.

Great work! Very sweet people and work quickly. My wedding dress turned out perfect!

I highly recommend Mesa Alterations. I had 4 fittings for my wedding gown and Mesa did an absolutely beautiful job practically re-​making my gown. I bought the dress at Serendipity Bridal here in Austin and it was way too big when it came in (bad advice from the consultant on what size I should order). This gown was a huge task to take on with the amount of work it needed. The level of skill it took to work with the delicate and intricate lace was amazing.
My mom ended up taking 4 of her dresses in for more minor alterations and they also turned out perfect. I plan on only using Mesa Alterations for future alterations.

I called Mesa Alterations yesterday and spoke with Mary, the manager. She was very difficult to deal with but I finally convinced her, after a very lengthy dispute, that it was only right that she refund the ovecharge of $ 31+ change back to me. She accused me of being very unfair because I wouldn’t pay more than I was quoted. She said its only right to pay for the professional service they gave me. Did I mention the shabby hem job and the cut in the dress they did so «professionally»? First time to wear one of the dresses was yesteday so I happily showed her their «professional» job on the hemline. He reply was «HMPH!» and actually put her nose in the air and turned her back on me. Yu lnow… There’s no «negotiating» when you quote your customer a price, the customer agrees to that price and then you try to renig on it later and attempt to charge them more. Her employees need to be careful when quoting prices. EACH… a very important word left out here. Had the employee stated the cost differently from: «I can do both for $ 35» to: «I can do both for $ 35 EACH», Mary would not have been in this situation of refunding money back to a customer. I will definitely be looking elsewhere for alterations in the future. B E W A R E… DO NOT take anything to Mesa alterations!

I took two shirts to Mesa Alterations to be brought in on the sides/​made tighter. They did an amazing job on both — cutting/​seaming was cleaner and straighter than original on both shirts. I highly recommend them!

I think I’ve found my new go-​to spot for alterations here in town!
Just had a great experience at Mesa Alterations after some less-​than-​stellar experiences at other places throughout Austin. I brought in a leather jacket to have the sleeves hemmed. Everything I own pretty much has to be altered because I am petite, so tailoring really adds up for me over time. The ladies at Mesa were super sweet, and did a great job for a fraction of the price that other businesses had quoted me at. Only $ 50 to alter LEATHER, quite the steal. They do get pretty busy though, so don’t expect a super fast turnaround. Took about three weeks to complete the work on my jacket, but they told me that the day I dropped it off, so no surprises there.
I was very impressed with the quality of their work and will definitely be going back!

So far I have had an excellent experience. I took my wedding dress there one week before my wedding for alterations. Sole was so kind, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She made insightful suggestions about different fits, helped with advice about cleaning, and added a strap that I will be able to use or not. I am only giving 4 stars because I don’t have the dress yet. I’ll update my review with details on the work, etc…

I’ve brought many alterations there — shirts, pants, jeans. All have been done to my specification, promptly and with a smile. Great work at a reasonable price.

They did what I asked of them. They patched up a couple holes in my jeans. However, I have patched my own jeans before, and done a significantly better job. They basically blotted out the whole with stitching (kinda trendy looking) and then outlined a huge square of the replacement denim patch (not trendy or becoming at all). The jeans were my favorite pair (hence the need for the patch) and they have done a royal job at making them look not so good. Not to mention, my girlfriend took her stuff in at the same time, and the quoted her about 45 bucks, and then came back with a «hand-​sewing tax» and then charged us out the wazoo.
Will never take my clothes back there no matter how convenient they are.

Mesa Alterations monogrammed all my bridesmaid presents and did an excellent job, so when the original seamstress in Dallas ruined my wedding dress one month before my wedding I went to them in a panic.
They fixed the entire wedding dress for me (made a custom top, hemmed the entire lace scallop skirt, took in the skirt and made a bustle). They did all this in an extremely fast time frame and for an affordable price.
The scallop lace hem was beautiful, you really can not even see where it was taken up! And the top fits really well! I am SO happy with my experience with Mesa Alterations.
