Christo’s Dry Cleaning & Tailoring

I would advise anyone who reads this to find another place to get your clothes dry cleaned. A short while ago, I brought my relatively new suit here for a routine dry cleaning. They not only destroyed my suit jacket, but assumed no responsibility for their mistakes and argued with me over the matter. They refused to offer me a replacement, money towards a new one, or any form of compensation. It’s safe to say that I will not be bringing my business back here.

Hello,
I hope they don’t start resting on their dry cleaning laurels after reading this 5-​star review.
I dropped off a scarf and a few shirts. All of which came back in excellent condition and clean.
I reused the dry cleaning plastic as a dinner mat because I’m kind of a messy eater. That’s recycling folks.
The woman at the front desk is also kind of attractive if you don’t mind my saying so. Is it wrong to say that? If so, I’m sorry but it sure made my experience better.
Thank you.

Christo’s is perfect for me. They are open past 5, which is great when you need to pick-​up/​drop-​off after work. I have many of my clothes tailored and they have always done a wonderful job! The one downside is that Christo is not always there, so you sometimes have to come back.
My clothes are always ready on time and their prices are fair. They don’t take credit cards, so be sure to bring a check/​cash.

Been using Christo’s for my dry cleaning but will be looking for another dry cleaner after ripping 1 dress, burning 5 dresses, and 3 pants that weren’t cleaned over 6 month period. Other issue is that they keep the dress shirts on a separate rack and at times takes them a while to find my shirts because they aren’t numbered and the employee has to go through one by one to find it.

Excellent quality, but slow at checkout and unreliable over the summer. I tried to get hem work done over the summer, and was completely shut out for the month of August. I travel during the week and can only do Saturday, so the shorter Saturday hours had a big impact on my cleaning schedule.
Biggest frustration is the tickets and checkout. Cash only business, and they always have a tough time finding my tickets and for some reason.
Tailoring is top notch, Christo has done excellent work with everything I have given him over the past two years.

Very nice tailor. Said to bring them back if there is a problem. Only accept a cash and check. Parking lot for cars was full but there’s also metered parking. Will take returned hangers for reuse.
Will update when I get pants back.

I recently purchased a new suit that needed tailoring – specifically, hemming the pants and altering the jacket fit. I have an athletic build, so the jacket needed some significant adjustments.
Christo was extremely friendly and accommodating in advising me of what alterations were needed and at a price that was very reasonable. I picked up the suit a week later, and it fit perfectly. I will definitely return to Christo’s for my future tailoring needs.

Alterations needed? Beware!
I had a skirt in need of hemming and decided to give this place a try since they had pretty good reviews. I came in and they guy had me try it on while he measured it all around. Then he handed me a ticket with a date to pickup. Well sadly I didn’t bother asking about he price. And boy, was I in for a shock when I came in to pick it up a week later. The girl at the counter retrieved the skirt and said okay, that’s $ 30! I was so stunned I asked just to be sure, $ 30??? And she said yes, with no explanation at all. I’m sorry but that’s more than I paid for the damn skirt! I have never paid more than $ 12-​$ 18 in my life to have something hemmed and I will definitely not be returning here for alterations!

Great dry cleaners. I work up the street and they are open late which makes it easy for me to drop off and pick up after I get out of work. They also tailor everything for me and have a really quick turn around time. Beware though, they are cash only. I learned the hard way the first time I went. Now I am always prepared.

They do very nice work and the prices are fair. The only issue is that they seem to be very busy, so you need to drop off stuff to be tailored about a week ahead of time if you need it for an event

Christo is a true professional and a master a his craft. The service and attention to detail are excellent. You get the warm feeling of a true family run business. Any detail that I needed fixed was taken care off. This is the only place I would use for alterations and dry cleaning.

Having just moved into the area, I called a bunch of dry cleaners in Coolidge Corner, and Christo’s is by far the cheapest! It’s only $ 12 for a women’s suit or dress. And it’s fast — I dropped stuff off on Monday at 6 PM, and it was ready Wednesday afternoon.

Simply the best around — cleaning and tailoring. Family business that is run by people who take pride. Worth traveling a little out of your way.

Christo’s saved the day and got a random spot (no idea how it got there!) out of my wedding dress two days before my wedding. Amazing.

I tend to only review when I really care — when a place gets me juiced. That means I will rave when worthy, dis when justified, or call out a place that is overrated when calling out must be done. In the case of Christos — It is a song of praise that I sing. This place is what a dry cleaner should be. It is family run and service oriented. They really care about their customers and doing good work — both cleaning and tailoring. My family has used Chris as a tailor for years and he is terrific! Their prices are reasonable, the quality is high, the people are warm and friendly — can’t ask for more!

I’m not sure why dry cleaners in Massachusetts charge so much, especially compared to the West Coast. For that reason, I am always on the look out for a good dry cleaner in the area with weekend hours and fair prices. I usually ask how much they charge when trying a new place, and was happy to hear it is only $ 13 to dry clean a dress here (compared to the $ 14 or $ 15 they charge at other places in the area). Still seems high compared to Cali, but so are gym fees and rent so I guess I’ll have to live with it for now.
It is cash only though, so remember to bring cash, otherwise you be spending the $ you save on the ATM fees at the bank next store.

They do a fantastic job. I routinely get my suit, shirts, and jackets all cleaned here for a very reasonable price ($ 11/​suit, $ 2/​shirt I believe).
One thing to remember is that it is cash only!

I don’t ever take the time to do this, but I felt compelled after my recent fantastic experience with Christo’s. I went to another tailor near Coolidge Corner (Bendi’s…don’t go there) last year to have a suit jacket tailored. She opened her store late, was not friendly, and then charged me $ 100 for a job that wasn’t anything special. Bad experience.
This year, I had the EXACT SAME SUIT in a different color that needed tailoring, except this time I also needed to have the pants hemmed unlike at Bendi’s. As I read in the reviews, Christo is a very nice guy who introduced himself personally, exchanged some pleasant stories, and left me with a smile. He’s been in the business for 30-​something years and acts like a true professional. Then I was shocked when I picked up my order…$ 55!!! I knew that I overpayed Bendi’s, but I never imagined I’d been ripped of THAT badly. And Christo’s alteration of the same jacket fits me MUCH better than the other I had altered last year.
For the incredibly reasonable price, friendly and timely service, and great quality of work I’ll be taking all of my tailoring jobs to Christo’s until he retires!

Christo’s is a nice, friendly, family-​owned dry cleaning service in Brookline, about a five-​minute walk from my apartment. Over the past three years, I’ve entrusted my suits, sweaters, and shirts to them, and they have served me very well. The prices are reasonable, the service is prompt, and they do a great job with my clothes.
Christo’s would be a five-​star review if they took the following steps:
1) Accept credit /​debit cards. If you’ve got a larger dry-​cleaning pickup, it’s easier to put it on plastic then to go get and carry the cash to them. I know that there are merchant processing fees, but if you accept credit cards, then people might feel more comfortable spending more money.
2) Stay open about a half-​hour later. Current hours are 7am to 7pm. I tend to try to do business after work rather than before work, and I get out at 6. If I get delayed on the way out, then I have to hurry before they close. Perhaps just staying open until 7:30 a few days a week would really help.
Other than those, Christo’s is a very good dry-​cleaning service, and I recommend them!

Christos Dry Cleaning & Tailoring is open M-​F 7AM-​7PM, Saturday 7AM-​3PM, and is closed on Sunday.
I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Christos. It’s family run and quality. I generally get my shirts ($ 1.70 per) pressed here weekly. They also offer alteration services and have an on-​site tailor.
Its located behind the Starbucks/​Wings over Brookline/​Pita Pit on Harvard Avenue in Brookline.
