Jessi’s Tailors

I had several regular dress shirts that i wanted fitted for my frame. I was a little weary because the rep had me try on only one shirt instead of all of them. When I got them back, they all fit just right. I plan on using them again.

Competitive rates and superb craftsmanship! Jessi’s Tailors is the place to go to if you need anything tailored. Quick turnaround and excellent customer service!
It’s odd a few reviewers have issues with the price. Just ask beforehand, if you don’t like the cost, then you have options.
I personally found that they have very competitive rates and tend to go overboard with service. I still recommend Marcello’s in the Galleria, however this is a more affordable option for the same quality.

I have been dropping my clothes here for years, and honestly think they do a great job. I have so much confidence in their work, and I have never had to take anything back. They have shortened my dresses, tightened my blouses, tailored heavy beaded Indian clothes and each time the work is neat and professional.
The only complaint I have is that they are expensive, and I feel like the prices are inconsistent. They don’t have set prices on the wall that they go by. They just name the price when you show the garment. I understand different fabrics require more/​less work but I feel like they should still offer a general range of prices you can go by.

I brought a pair of jeans to fix the zipper, and they told me it needed to be replaced at the cost of $ 15. I thought that’s a reasonable price, and when I came back to pick it up I was happy with their work. Nothing to complain, good job.

Awesome! Quick & price is right!!! My experience has so far only been with dresses.
I even got my WEDDING dress hemmed here (with lots of layers underneath) two days before the wedding bc of a change of shoes! What would ordinarily cost me over $ 300 and at least two week wait, they did for WELL under $ 100 (don’t remember exact price bc it was 7 months ago!)
I went again today for a dress I just got in mail & am super excited to get it back!
Some say he’s grouchy but he’s just quiet. I’d rather have a good quiet tailor than a chatty person who won’t do a good job!
Highly recommended!!! (At least on dresses!!)

Dropped 2 pair of pants off on Saturday, and they were ready as promised on Wednesday. These were simple alterations (shortening the length) but came out looking exactly like the original manufacturer hem. One pair of dress slacks with a blind hem, the other a pair of more casual slacks with a one-​inch visible hem. I used to sew quite a bit, but these would have taken me at least an hour each, with measuring, cutting, finishing off the fabric of the dress pants, and doing the hem, not to mention finding the proper color thread and so forth. Instead, I walked in and said «take one inch off this pair and 1.5 inches off that pair» and 3 days later they were professionally finished for under $ 20 total. This will open up new clothing possibilities for me, since I’ve always avoided buying long length, even on sale, because I knew they would sit in my closet unfinished forever. Now, if I find pants I love in the wrong length, I know that I can have them ready to wear in under a week.

Not entirely sure why this place has such negative reviews… I guess it was just a hit or miss for them. I had two outfits that needed fixing… one needed a new zipper and the other one needed to have the sleeves opened up a bit. When I went there, they seemed to be really busy but the gentleman working there helped me right away. He said both things could be done easily and it would cost $ 27. I’ve never had anything altered before so not sure if that’s pricey, but I didn’t mind too much. I went there on a Friday and he said it would be ready the following Friday. I told him I was leaving for out of town on the following Thursday, so he told me I can pick it up on Wednesday evening. I went on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. and it was ready. I tried the zipper and it worked perfectly, and tried on my other outfit and the sleeves which were originally too tight, now fit perfectly. I’d go back again if I needed something else that needed fixing.

I had my suit tailored here for a total of 26 dollars and I thought they did a decent job. Since they did alright I decided to bring my pants some time later to get altered.
I had no warning whatsoever, they told me 9 – 10 bucks to have my pants altered. However, when I picked it up, it was a total of 26 instead. I asked why it was 26 and their response was that they altered the length and width in two areas and that they told me they would charge me 26 dollars. I will be honest to you, they DID NOT. They also said if they were to alter only 1 thing, they would charge their usual rate of 9 – 10 dollars. There is no sign or warning that oh if you want to do this, its this much, you want to do that, its that much. None of that.
They did not want to take responsibility for what they said and in a way do not care if they lose customers. The only reason why I am giving them 2 stars is because I know they can do their job decently but because of such a bad response to my pants, I will not be coming back to do business with them.

Took 3 slacks to have waist taken in and hemmed. Cost me almost the price of one of my suits. All three slacks looked like they had saddle bags and when I mentioned this to the tailor he said that he could correct it for and additional $ 9 each slack… what?! I wouldn’t recommend this business at all.

I have been here several times and each time was a pleasant experience. I even brought a backpack to be stitched, (straps and two small holes) which came out wonderfully. I still use it, and the work was done almost a year ago!
The guy behind the counter is also pretty helpful. He tells me when any stitching may change sizing and/​or fit before confirming my order. I’m usually not in a big rush to have my stuff done, which never makes waiting an issue. So overall, no complaints here.

I have had several pants, jackets, and suits altered here and the work has been great. Usually takes close to a week for the items to be completed as they have a high volume of work, but they do a great job.

Not very friendly, slurred English, and pricey. All I wanted was a new zipper along the back of my dress and it cost me about $ 20-​$ 30. The zipper didn’t seem repaired at all

No business should take on more than they can handle, and unfortunately, Jessi’s Tailors does just that. My husband had gone there to get some pants hemmed after reading the first glowing review. His pants were done on time and correctly, so I decided to try the place out. I went on a Monday to drop off some pants to have a small hold repairs, have a purse strap sewn, and to have a sweater hole fixed (rewoven). As I waited, I observed a conversation between the man who runs the place and a customer. He apologized, but the items he had promised to have ready were not ready. She explained she needed them that night and would wait. She looked defeated and went to sit in her car directly outside the shop to wait for her items. This should have been my cue to leave. Instead, I went ahead and left all three of my items to be repaired. The employee (owner?) told me the purse would be ready the next day because it was an easy fix. He said the pants would be ready in 2 days and that the sweater was more complicated and would be ready in 2 weeks. Seriously… 2 weeks? I said ok to all three items because even though I thought 2 weeks was a long time, it’s Houston and it’s April, so I don’t need the sweater right away (even though it’s very light and airy and can be worn most of the year).
So, I go back to get the repaired purse which he charges me $ 2 for. The strap has been sewn, but the repair is shabby and low quality. I showed it to him and he just kind of shrugged. I paid my $ 2 and left. then I went back to get the pants. The problem was a tiny hole that just needed to be sewn. Their repair is now an over one inch long and extremely obvious. I wasn’t impressed, but I had planned to wear these when I didn’t care too much about how they looked. Why was I settling for all these shabby repairs?
The last straw was the sweater. I went back 2 weeks after I had originally dropped it off. I had my ticket in hand and was hoping to see some great work done. Nope! The man told me they were backed up and it wasn’t ready. He said it would be ready in 2 more days. I went back later in the week and the sweater was ready. The repair was perfect, and I was pleased. I ended up paying $ 23.65 for the purse, pants, and sweater together. I was still very frustrated with my wasted time. They do not accept personal checks, cash and cards (no Amex).
Learn from my experience: Only go here if you are in NO hurry whatsoever and if you don’t mind your time wasted by several trips to pick up items that are not yet ready. They seem to do a fine job on hems and more major repairs, but just not always on time. My time is valuable.
Repairs: 4 stars
Waste of my time: 1 star
Overall, I just can’t give more than 2 stars.

Brought a pair of jeans to be hemmed here — $ 9 for regular hem, $ 12 to keep the original hem. They’re quick (I dropped it off on Friday afternoon, got it back on Tuesday) and inexpensive and get the job done right. I’ll be coming back here again.
