Allen Tailor & Cleaning

Do not come here with anything you value. A bridesmaids dress I brought in for a simple hem and dry clean went missing for 5 DAYS after it was due back to me! I got it back the night before my flight for the wedding and aside from the hemming (which was well done) it came back dirtier than when I brought it in. Still had to pay half price. Owner was emphatic and felt bad because I was in absolute distress, but overall a really unpleasant experience.

This is my first review ever. I truly believe everyone should get their second shot to be fair. They are the most dishonest manipulative business owners that I encountered in Manhattan. First got their address from Boglioli sorte at Lafayette. I asked how much a pants waist adjustment costs son of the owner said $35 then the next day dad charges me $40 and he promised to get it done in two weeks. Went back in two weeks 2 pants down still one more to go. Gave him a couple of shirts for clean up. He said it’d be ready on Wednesday, went back again not ready he was working on it. I was mad but didn't say anything and gave them 3 more days. His son went back and brought a pair of jeans that weren't mine. Then the older guy found it under the pill of clothes. And he started the alterations. He must’ve put my pants down as soon as walked out of the store. They’ve lost my business for sure and I had a lot to go back. now I’ll have to hunt a good reliable tailor. Oh did I mention they ruined my $240 pair of jeans!

My go to tailor shop, and I don’t even live in Manhattan. They expertly execute simple and complex projects. For example, they were able to line a transparent wool and silk dress with multiple cutouts, panel by panel, so it is now opaque. Reasonable prices for quality work. Just remember to call BEFORE you come to pick up your item!

I recently had an outstanding experience with this dry cleaner. After leaving town, they went above and beyond to ensure I got my items back. The quality of the dry cleaning was exceptional. Their customer service was top-notch. I highly recommend this dry cleaner for their professionalism and attention to detail.

They did an amazing job hemming a pair of flared pants for me for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend

There are a lot of tailors on Allen, and I’ll go to a different one next time —— hem was fine but service and price were very sub par. Many reviews are similar to my experience. The positive is that the work itself on my pair of jeans was fine - the hem was the right length. I didn’t get anything complex done, so can’t speak to their quality of complex alterations. The other important aspects of price and service were sub par. I was quoted two different prices by father and son (and paid the higher price). It was 30-40% higher than what I would normally get in the city. The organization was noticeably bad - the tailor originally said he couldn’t find my jeans, and to come back. In the end, like others, I returned multiple times for my jeans. If you’re willing to wait and live close enough to check without much inconvenience that might be fine for you. Not going to return (but this was one experience, and others may have had much better experiences!). Just not worth it for me to pay high prices and risk multiple trips with so many other options around.

Eduardo and his team take care of you like you were family. Amazing work. The turn around time is quick and his prices are great. Had my suit tailored here and came back for my tuxedo for my wedding. Will continue to use him going forward and I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Went here for the first time to get my brand new suit tailored for a wedding that's coming up. Eduardo is super friendly, very knowledgeable and explains every single detail with every pin he marks on the suit. It will be ready by 5/9 and I am looking forward to his craftsmanship. An amazing family owned business and I have a good feeling this won't be my last visit.
