Aloha Alterations

Aloha Alteration did an amazing job with my leather jacket. My leather jacket sleeve was too long and comes with a zipper. This is the only place they willing to shorten the sleeve. Most places turn me always because of the zipper at the bottom on the sleeve is too hard to alteration. The turn around time was quick and quality just like it was from manufacturers stitch. Check out my picture look amazing ready for my vacation to Japan. Price are very reasonable for the amount of work they have to do.

They should change their name to AWESOME ALTERATIONS! The seamstress that was working today (not sure if thats the owner) was very pleasant and was willing to accommodate my tight schedule. They were much cheaper than everyone else. And the quality was top notch.
I alter all of my pants and most of my shirts. It seems like with all other alteration shops, there’s always a super long 1 – 2 week lead time before touching your clothes and they all seem to charge a ridiculous minimum fee of $ 20 – 25 per piece even for small jobs that can’t take much longer than a few minutes for a professional. Today was my first day trying Aloha Alterations and the kind lady was eager to finish my small job the same day. To make things even better, she charged only $ 15 for two pieces. One was a fix-​it job for poor work done to my pants from another alteration shop (Won’t name names but they’re located on the corner of Keeaumoku and S Beretania =P) and the other piece was for new pants. That’s three times cheaper than the going price and 2 weeks quicker than pretty much all other alteration shops! And trust me, i’ve been to them all. It was so cheap i felt the need to tip the lady 20% for the rush and discount! I got the items back at 4pm and the work was top notch. I will definitely recommend and repeat my business here.

Quick turnaround! I dropped off a pair of pants to get hemmed and they were ready for pickup the next day. I’d already figured out the length I wanted and folded the cuffs up, so all I had to do was hand them over. Friendly service and a slightly lower price than other nearby alterations!

I would not recommend this place. It is overpriced, and there is not always someone there during the stated business hours.
The hours listed on the window are 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, so I stopped by yesterday at 7:35 am before work. The doors were locked. I came by again around 9:00 am, and someone was there. I spoke with the seamstress about hemming three dresses, so she had me try them on and pinned them according to the length that I wanted. When it came time to pay, she stated that two of the dresses would cost $ 60 to hem and the other one would cost $ 65!!! These were just dresses I use for work – nothing fancy. They don’t have beading or lace, etc. I thought this was a bit high, but I haven’t had alterations done in Hawaii, so I just left my dresses there, as this place is conveniently located in my office building. When I spoke with my coworker, she told me the woman had hemmed her pants for $ 12. That’s when I realized she was ripping me off. I went back around 10 am to pick up my dresses and cancel my order, but no one was in the store. I came back during lunch at noon, and she was still not there. So I decided to eat my lunch in front of the store, and she finally came back. She was nice about canceling the order. But I did notice on the way out that her price sheet states $ 25 and up for hemming dresses. She takes the «and up» part seriously.
I went across the street to Maria’s Alterations thanks to the positive reviews on Unilocal,and the seamstress only charged me $ 53 to hem all three dresses, which is less than the price of hemming one dress at Aloha Alterations.
