Magic Scissors Alterations

I found this provider on Angie’s List. They were a bit out of my way but I thought they offered a good price and seemed knowledgeable about hemming sheers and curtains.
When I arrived to dropped off my items I was nastily told that they were very busy and they couldn’t get to them right away and it would be a week before I would get them. That was OK by me. I really didn’t expect them right away. I was surprised at the rudeness and lack of business professionalism and friendliness of the lady who took my order. She seemed very put out that I was even there and taking up her time. Imagine! A customer that comes with an order! What an inconvenience!
I tried to figure out what caused this reaction. I’m always an upbeat individual and try to always greet people with a simile and warm «hello.»
The lady seemed to be from South America so maybe being short and rude was part of her culture? I couldn’t image but there are cultural norms that don’t carry over from time to time. I would think if your going to do business in this country, friendliness should be the order of the day for your customers.
When I came to pick up my order she was a bit warmer but cold overall. If your customers are a bother you don’t need to be in a customer focused business. My order was done very well. No issues there. They even ironed them. I’m giving them high marks for the workmanship but low marks for the customer service. I won’t be going back again though. I don’t think customers should ever be treated rudely.
I would recommend them have this lady work in the back and not deal with customers.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but thought I should this time. I went to this place last week and it was my first time going to the shop. WELL the woman who worked there was rude, AND the place is overpriced for what I needed hemmed. Would not recommend anyone to go there. Very disappointed.

I took a chance on this place by reading other review on other websites. I took in a pair of dress slacks to be shortened & hemmed prior to Christmas. Now I don’t know if it because she was extremely busy and overwhelmed (due to the holidays) but I didn’t feel welcomed when I came in the the business and I felt rushed. The women who was assisting me made sure to tell me she was busy & that my pants wouldn’t be complete until the em of the week (which I was ok with).
I picked up my pants as instructed but never pulled them out of the plastic to try them on until recently & they did a good job. Could it have been better & more precise? YES! Worth complaining? NO! The hem seems slightly shaky (noticeable only by perfectionist such as myself).
If anyone knows of a fantastic seamstress in the area please let me know.

Being new to Bradenton, I had no one to give me advice on a good tailor. I went to Magic Scissors to have the hem repaired on 3 work skirts, one of them a Diane Von Furstenberg. All 3 of them were done with a «higher in the front, lower in the back» type of hem. I’ve never seen alterations done this way before. Do not trust this business with your clothes.
