Trend’s Tailor & Dry Cleaning

SUMMARY: Do not go to this place. 1) Discriminatory pricing, 2) Always over sells you, 3) Doesn’t like to fix his alterations.
Andy, is the name of the owner of this tailoring shop and he is the reason for the poor rating. Andy’s pricing is not consistent and he basically gives a price based on what he thinks you are willing to pay for his tailoring service.
I have actually used Andy for awhile, but I hadn’t been into the shop for quite some time, so I called to confirm the price of a hem. I was told $ 10 on the phone, but when I went in, Andy told me it was $ 12.99. When I told him he told me $ 10 on the phone, he said that was his old price and that his prices have gone up due to his expenses going up. To quote him, «he said because gas is so expensive» he also has to charge more. GAS IS $ 2.20 as of the day I am writing this review. But Andy has always used «gas» as his reasoning for his pricing, especially if you ever ask for a discount.
I made the mistake of asking for a discount and I was yelled at in front of his other customers. Rude. Andy is happy as long as you pay him what he wants.
Also, Andy will never give you true advice about clothing/​tailoring. I took a pair of pants in (the same pants actually that fueled this review) and I asked him if they needed to be taken in in the thigh (in addition to the hem). ANDY WILL NEVER RESIST THE CHANCE TO MAKE MORE MONEY ON YOU. He, of course, said «yes, they are a bit baggy…$ 25 to take that it in.»
Oh and lastly, God forbid if you ever need an adjustment to an alteration he has done. You have to fight tooth and nail to get him to fix it. He will make every excuse in the book, «oh it looks good the way it is» or «you told me to make it this way» or «it was too long ago» (1 week). I only had to have him adjust an alteration once, and I got all of these excuses for the same jacket. He did not want to redo anything. So, I had to pay twice for the same item as I needed the item quickly.
So, as of today, I use a different tailor. Close by and much cheaper. Oh and they didn’t think that the pants needed to be taken in the thigh area.

His tailoring is great, but the store does not keep its posted hours. The door says the store opens at 9am through the week, but no one opens the store until closer to 10am. I don’t actually care what hours they keep, I just need them to be open during the hours they say they will be open. I am done using them. I am tired of showing up when they say they will be open to find the doors locked and the lights off.

Excellent work, and returned very quickly. I will return without hesitation.

I brought a brand new dress from David’s Bridal (it was a bridesmaids dress for a wedding) here for alterations. Andy was highly recommended by some family as I’m pretty new to the area. It was a matter of taking up a strap and taking in the top of the dress. He also told me that he would steam it for me before I picked it up. He told me he would have it ready in a week and call me. I never heard from him so I called to see if it was ready and it was like he couldn’t find the dress, but eventually said it was ready. Today, I went to pick it up and Andy was not there, the guy searched for several minutes for it and finally found it, and it wasn’t even steamed. Obviously it was for an upcoming wedding as the original tags are even still attached. While the work seemed great and it now fit, it still needs to be steamed. So frustrating. Also $ 65 for only those 2 things seems really high. Think I’ll be looking for a new tailor. Seems to be great work, but very unorganized and expensive. :(

I do NOT recommend having your clothes dry cleaned here. First, they send off their dry cleaning to another location about 20 minutes away… so if you have any problems it is such a hassle to fix.
I gave them a bag of 12 pieces of clothing to dry clean and I only received 6 back. I was told that they forgot my other clothes at the dry cleaning place 20 minutes away and they would not bring it until the next day. The owner was nice and apologized but my clothes were still missing. I had dropped off my clothes on a Tuesday and I came on Saturday. How is that they realized they did not have all my clothes only when I came to pick it up?! They said everything would be ready by Friday.
Because I needed to get my dress for a formal that evening, I was told I can go and pickup my missing clothes from the dry cleaning place directly.
After I picked up my clothes, I inspected everything when I got home and noticed that there were buttons missing from one of the suits and the zipper of my formal dress was broken.
After all these issues, I definitely do NOT plan to use them for dry cleaning again.

My wife and I have recently moved to this area and chose Trend’s Tailor based on Unilocal’s user reviews. We have been totally satisfied with their cleaning service. Shirts were pressed very well. They fixed a zipper on my wife’s wallet. We recommend it.

Just got four pairs of work pants hemmed. The tailor got all pairs ready to go in just four days and at a great price! My ex-​tailor in Austin took at least a week and charged several bucks more per pair.

Thanks to Erika V.‘s recommendation of this place, I was also able to salvage a dearly loved purse of mine with a broken interior compartment zipper. So anyone out there with a broken zipper situation — come here! It looked as good as new and I am fairly sure it also cost around $ 5 — WIN!
In terms of dry cleaning — well you may want to carefully mull through a cost-​benefit analysis before you drop off your clothes. .. I dropped off three dresses and had the zipper fixed and it came to the grand total of $ 25. I was ecstatic because it’s normally around $ 13 per dress where I usually go. I was so ecstatic that I failed to inspect my dresses upon pick-​up. Once I was home, I noticed they didn’t do a very good job, at all. .. There were still noticeable untreated drink and food stains on two of the dresses (I’m clumsy! So sue me!) — even on the dress I had asked the clerk to pay special attention to. .. mehhh. Also lotsa lint — weird.
I think I might eventually come back here because of the cheap cheap price and give them a second chance. They were extremely friendly and they saved my beloved purse, so I can’t quite dismiss them yet.
FYI — cash or check only, no credit cards accepted.

The very friendly tailor in this shop fixed a very broken zipper and track on my bag for $ 5 and did it in less than 5 minutes!
I was so happy I almost kissed the guy because a new bag usually sells for about $ 125 and I was happy to not have to replace it…
He also did alterations on my business partner’s pants and they fit perfectly and looked great!
I could tell from all the clothes waiting to be picked up that this shop deals with everything from very high dollar couture to blue jeans.
So if you need to have some stuff repaired, dry cleaned or altered hop over to the Rice Village and check them out :)
