Lynn’s Cleaner Tailor & Alterations

The organization here could be a lot better, but they manage to get the job done at a pretty reasonable price. I needed to get a dress altered, and it wasn’t ready when she had told me it would be, so I had to return a second time. Thankfully, I’m just around the corner. If I had gone much further out of my way, I would have given them a lower rating, and the only thing less than a two-​star review would be pretty darn bad.
When I picked up my dress, another lady informed me that since it required more work, she needed to charge me more. I reluctantly pulled out a $ 100 bill, since I was already a little irked that I had to return a second time. She didn’t have enough change, so she sent me down to the Kelly’s Donuts to break my bill, where I had to buy an orange juice and was reminded how much it sucked to not be able to enjoy gluten and dairy. At least this was good news for my waistline. But anyway…
On the way out, after I had paid her, she complimented me and told me that I was pretty. Since she buttered me up and the dress came out okay, I feel a two-​star review is fair.

Horrible service… drop off my dress come back on due day, the dress is not done… come back for 2^nd time in the next 3 days… still not completed… take my dress home and I will never come back.

Went here to alter a long dress, came back to pick up, the dress was not done as committed. No phone call to notify the delay? Services didn’t meet my expectation. I will not comeback to this place

Needed my white coat dry cleaned and was in the area, so decided to just drop the coat off. The lady told me that my coat was too dirty and will need to be washed twice so she will also be charging me twice. My initial reaction was, «she is trying to overcharge me,» since my coat has been dirtier and I have never needed it to be «washed twice.» But fine, since I was in the area and it’s really close to my house I decided another $ 2.50 isn’t too bad.
I paid $ 2.50 at another location, and paid $ 5 at this location. My white coat was still dirty even though it was «washed twice.» My coat has no stains but she did not do a good job cleaning the creases.
I appreciate the lady being so nice and holding conversations with me… But come on, if you’re gonna charge me double, at least make sure it’s double mint clean!
Definitely a bad on my part for going for convenience instead of checking Unilocal reviews first. Sigh… Oh well

If you just need a simple hem of your pants (pants that aren’t expensive), then come here, she only charges around $ 2 per side. But if you want any other tailoring that’s more complicated and needs fine detailing, go somewhere else as she’ll end up ruining your garment, like she did mines). Her dry cleaning is cheap also but she’ll tell you it’ll be ready on Saturday for example, and when you arrive on Saturday, she might not have it ready. She also told my husband that she would be able to get rid of ink on his slacks so he paid her to clean her, but when he picked it up, it was worst than when he had left it! She didn’t even have the decency to refund us the money but offered to dry clean it the second time, which of course did nothing.
She’s very scattered brain. if she ever says that she can sell a dress that you no longer want or wear, don’t believe her – I won’t go into the long details but lets just say she first told me that her friend will take my dresses for $ 20 each (two of which were my friends’) but after 3 weeks of giving me that run around (and after me giving my friend $ 40 for her dresses), I had to take all the dresses back.
I don’t think I’ll ever come here again, cheap or not. She’s so scattered brain, unorganized (you can tell by how she organizes her shop), and she really doesn’t take responsibility for her mess ups.

…Tell you the truth, I mistakenly went to this place when I was heading to other alteration shop ‘by referal’ *.* and did not realize the shop was a different place where I was going to… until the next day (…I know my mind had been somewhere else at that time). As soon as I realized it, I checked Unilocal review and terribly got in shock as reading negative reviews… But all I could do at that moment was ‘praying’ for my good luck… And, my prayer seemed to be heard! Simple hem on sleeves for two tops + sewing the bottom & fixing loosy part of my pants were perfectly done for only ONE day (…never experienced such a quick work! …but maybe ‘cuz of their reputation, they may not have many customers… who knows!) and all I paid was $ 10! It was the cheapest alteration place with pretty good quality I’ve ever experienced *.* I had to pay $ 12 for two stitches in Irvine about 8 yrs ago, and paid $ 8 in Laguna Hill Mall (there were even some left over long threads on my pants, and it did not look professional very much!!) just a week ago… But in here, with the same quality + 3 clothes (4 kinds of alteration), I paid ONLY $ 10!!! Therefore, as considering my experience and also all negative reviews on Unilocal,I would like to conclude that this is a great place for simple alteration w/​less quantity to bring in so that nothing confuses them ^.^ They probably charge only $ 3 for simple hem and it is a SUPER good deal with the quality! I used to go to Dat Tailoring but their price went up from $ 4 to $ 6, and I was told $ 15 for ‘heming sleeves of one top’, so I stoped going. However, if I have something more complicated on my alteration or I have A LOT of clothes to bring in, I may go somewhere else, as listening to other reviews here… ^.* There seem to be a lot of options on Bolsa Ave area, so will find out more! BUT, for simple hem for a few clothes, I will probably go back to Lynn’s place. She also mentioned that she can make a lady’s top by custom order for $ 15, so as long as we have clear vision to communicate good with her, this is such a WONDERFUL alteration place!

Lynn’s tailor is the shittiest place ever. Lynn’s a liar and a con. I started coming to her a few years ago when she just opened up the store. Back then, she wasn’t as scatterbrained and would get my clothes done right away. I stopped going for awhile because she messed up a dress I was supposed to wear in my family Christmas picture. (cut it wayyyy to short and got gum/​oil stuck to it somehow???) I called her crying on December 23^rd and she basically said tough luck, bring it by after Christmas to fix it.
After about 2 years, my mom dropped off some pants for me (I didn’t know that she’d be going to Lynn’s) Lynn f*cking overcharged me and then tricked me into paying more money even though my mom said that she would pay her when she picked up the clothes. I was there to pick up the dry cleaning. She told me that the bill was $ 48 even though my mom had a receipt for $ 46. After calling her and asking her why I had to pay more, she hung up on me. After that fiasco, my mom came to pick up my pants and she only has ⁵⁄₇ pairs. WTF. Soon after, she started giving my mom random pairs of pants that are the same size to try to compensate for mine.
When my mom tells her that she needs to reimburse us, she says that we’ll have to go through insurance. Well lady, I will go through your insurance and I better get my money back!!! I looked her up on
and someone on there complained about her losing their clothes too. This is an ongoing trend and I hope no one goes here after reading these reviews.
NEVER AGAIN. DO NOT GO HERE.

Lynn is a con. Bought my suit jacket in to have it tailored. She quoted me $ 15 but I told her I needed done by 6 pm. She said $ 20 since has to pay overtime to her worker to expedite & stay later. Fine. 6 hours I returned all dressed up expecting my jacket to be finished. Lynn was gone, worker stated there was no way jacket could’ve been completed in time so worker don’t know why Lynn promised 6 hours turn around. Next day spoke with Lynn. First she said she couldn’t locate my number despite it clearly written on the work order. Then she made up excuse she had to send out jacket to specialist, bla bla bla. Fine. Then I asked her to refund me $ 5 for the rush job but that was unsuccessful. She went in circle explaining how expensive it was to fulfill my work order but would not refund me. Basically, she messed up on making promises & under quote which is her problem not mine. Told her $ 5 dollar is not a big deal but her business practice was unethical & didn’t want to argue about it and walked out. I thought supporting a local business was a good thought but was wrong. Told Lynn she lost a returning customer but looked like she didn’t care.

While I agree that it is cheap here, it still doesn’t make up for them losing my clothes! She’s lost quite a few prices
collection, and it always seems to be the most expensive pieces I bring in! I mean if I lost a forever 21 blouse or something I wouldn’t care, but marc jacobs? I’ll pass… She’s lost my clothing on 4 different occasions now and my mom had the same problem… just a fair warning to those of you who want to try this place.
I’m still on the lookout for a legit cleaners, anyone have any ideas?

Small cluttered shop that is part tailor shop and part dry cleaner. As a dry cleaner this shop is at least 30% cheaper than other dry cleaners in the area
Lynn is a one person operation. She will get your dry cleaning back to you in one or two days .
Lynn is an excellent tailor and can do all types of alterations quickly and very cheap!
