I brought a dress in to see how much they could take out– the lady found an open seam and shoved her hand in it to make it bigger just so she could look in the seams. Then when I spoke to her about it she was super rude and only said she could fix it about halfway and if she fixed it entirely she would charge me $ 10. Definitely going some where else– don’t waste your time with them, just go further down Clark to Alva Graciano.

Will always be my dry cleaners. They are so nice and friendly. I had a button missing from a dress I bought and I asked if I could look through their button collection to find a match. She said yes with no charge and even allowed me to take replacement buttons for all the buttons when I didn’t find an exact match. Both women are just willing to go out of their way for you. It is cash only, but there’s an ATM on site or 7 – 11 on Clark/Belden which is a USAA-approved Citibank ATM or there’s MB ATMs for $ 1 fees on Clark and Arlington. BOA across the street is $ 3.

My husband and I have also brought a few items here for tailoring and Mrs. Kim is really good at what she does. She will tell you if it’s not worth it to get something altered or how big of a job it will be or cost up front — so you can decide whether to move forward. She did a great job on my husband’s slacks and has taken in a few blouses and replaced a zipper on my peacoat. We’ve been really pleased with the results and her prices are reasonable for the quality of work she does.

Great place for tailoring! I went here a few weeks ago to get a coat fitted after it had been messed up by 2 previous tailors. I had almost lost hope that my coat was going to fit normal again, but they made it fit and look amazing!!! I also had a pair of work pants tailored and they did a good job on them too. Very reasonably priced for the expertise of work performed. I will definitely be back and recommend them to my friends!

This place is great for tailoring. I went in here with my dog several months ago to get a dress and pants done. They were friendly, accommodating and dog friendly. They even noticed that my dog’s collar was a little torn and fixed it for me for free while I was getting measurements! They went above and beyond and I’ll definitely be back.

When I moved here from Boston I was a lost puppy without my tailor/dry cleaner of 7 years… then a neighbor recommended Young’s. I have now find my tailoring and dry cleaning home! Their hours are so convenient and Mrs. Young and her staff are always friendly and professional. I love the fact that I can get my jeans tailored with the original hem for $ 20AND it’s ready 2 days later! Their tailoring work is impeccable… even though I moved to Old Town I still bring my items to Young’s cleaners because I truly can’t find a better place in the area.

This place ruined two pairs of brand new jeans by over-shortening them. When I took the jeans in to show that they were too short, there was no apology at all. They claimed they could stretch the legs, which would permanently make the legs longer by an inch. It didn’t work. I won’t be going back.

They do great work here and it’s super speedy. I just had to get my straps adjusted for my wedding dress. It’s cost only 5 $ and my dress was ready to pick up the next day! I’m so happy Young’s is just around the corner from where I live. Thank you!

I first started going to Young’s when she and I were both youngsters in our 20s… that was 25 years ago. And even though I’ve moved from the neighborhood and even though I have a regular cleaner(also excellent) closer to my home, I still take things to her from time to time because I’m so grateful for the outstanding cleaning, service and smiles over the years and because I love her so much. Yes, call me crazy but I patronize a business I don’t really need to out of pure respect, appreciation and affection for the owner.

The only reason I’ve been coming here for 10 years is the service and speed. Go Young!

Took 2 pairs of uniform pants there to be dry cleaned. They were ready the next day! $ 5/each I thought was reasonable. The women working there were really friendly. Would have given 5 stars but they do not take credit cards… cash or check only.

This place is great; the best customer service you can ask for. I drycleaned my girlfriends white coat that she needed cleaned due to yellow rust stains all over it. I came to pick it up and it was ready to go with pretty much no noticeable stains, I was shocked, great job. I have now been taking my cleaning there for about 2 years and love it.

I haven’t had anything cleaned here — only tailored. Quick and inexpensive. Good service, open from 7 am to 7 pm on weekdays. $ 20 and 2 days for original hem jeans. For men’s tailored shirts it’s $ 15 and they do a great job. I also had a pair of jeans patched/fixed for $ 15 that came out better than expected. If you buy your jeans at Akira, drop them off here to get tailored quick and easily! Only problem — they only take cash or check but will tell you how much it will be ahead of time so you can come back prepared.
