Shahla did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I am a picky bride and she went beyond what I expected to make everything the way I wanted. She made few changes and my dress got even prettier that it's original design. Thank you Shahla You are the best :)

SHALA DID AN AMAZING JOB, I came to her when my wedding dress was altered horribly at another business and she literally got my dress done within days of my wedding weekend, she really out done herself and has a heart of gold, literally an Angel for putting the work she did for my dress. I got sooo many compliments on my dress my wedding day and I will be forever thankful for her, truly she brought my dress to life, I will never forget how she saved my dress. Truly she runs the best alteration business out there, a true professional. I am forever grateful for her. I will continue to go to her for any of my future alterations, she knows what's she is doing and does it with care. Don't look no further when it comes to your wedding dress, she is the BEST.

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO HER SHE WILL DESTROY YOUR DRESS!! Shes very rude she screams at you and makes to many mistakes she forgets what she tells you she changes her prices and does not tell you then she does the job and expects you to pay . I think she is very overwhelmed and takes jobs when she is the only one doing several dresses she can not handle. I was present when she screamed at two different customers over the phone on two different occasions I wished I would of seen that the day I dropped off my dress. I had a horrible experience with her and I wish I would of seen these reviews before but because she was recommended I trusted her work. I dropped off my dress and she gave me the price I told her what I only wanted to get done which was only the top/corset of the dress because it fit me big and I also wanted the tale to be fixed so I can have a bustle on it. WELL!! she shaved the top of my dress cut the shape completely changed the top she pretty much changed the look of my dress the top now the corset look super small it wasn't long ni more. I told her and show her my dress how I received it and also the sample at store and she kept fighting with me telling me that I was wrong. I told her I was very worried that it would not look the same she kept telling me that she was going to put wires in the front so the dress wouldn't fall . So at this time the torso was now small and the waist was very loose I kept telling her that I felt that I had to stick my stock to be able to hold the dress she need to grab it more from sides she did not want to do it she said that's the way was. She had put wires and it made me look very boxy. The reason I had purchased that dress was because it was a corset and she destroyed it I was so upset but I was at her mercy I was scared that she would become more angry and not give me my dress back oh and let me add I had paid her all since first day I dropped off the dress. She then ask for more money she said because it was a lot of work and she had done other stuff to dress I told her that is not what we agreed at beginning and her excuse was that she had forgotten to write it down on receipt. That day she gave me the price I ask her to write it down her answer was I know what I'm doing I'll remember. WELL SHE DID NOT REMEMBER and she wanted more money. One time she ask me to go back to her shop after I had left her shop a few hours earlier but before I left I had ask her if I should stick around a little more since she looked overwhelmed and all this time I did not trust her no more she said no I don't need you I know what I'm doing well 3 hours later she calls me ask me to go back I then got upset I told her why does she do this she had already cancel on me once with out telling me I was literally a few blocks away and then she reschedules and I call her that day and I ask her if I could be there just a little early we'll her answer was sorry I forgot about your dress She Asia's I will call you when I get to it she made me miss work three times she made go back when I had told her that I lived 40 min away Her answer was well if I know what I'm doing don't ask questions just come back again. At this time I ask her are you giving me my dress back she said yes but you have to pay the extra . I Can keep on going but end of story she is not reliable she forgets things not organized at all and rude and cancels appointments with out telling you. One thing that did surprise me she said that she has never worked on a dress like mine but then she claims she has done it for years and she is professional. I do not know why she told me that but that all made sense maybe she did not have that much experience. I got my dress back a week before my wedding I told her don't do anything no more let me just get it back. I had to get another dress since I was not happy on how it looked. My wedding dream dress was ruined

Shala is amazing, I brought her my size 8 wedding dress and she got it down to a size 4 to fit me. Honestly she's a miracle worker.

Harmony came recommended from my bridal shop. She really knows what she's doing and knew exactly what I wanted when I went in for the fitting before I had to say anything. My dress was very elaborate and full of lace and beads and she left the dress looking like I bought it to size and it was never altered. I lost weight last minute and they took me in super last minute and made some minor alterations on the spot. I was stressing so much but Harmony calmed me down and said she would do everything possible to make me happy and she did it right there on the spot for me. Can't even begin to express my appreciation

I want to thank Shala for the best alterations experience. She was so attentive and detailed on the work that was done to my wedding dress. She was so sweet and kind. My dress fit like a glove and everyone loved how my wedding dress looked. My dress was ready a week before my wedding day. I would recommend Shala "Harmony's Alterations" to anyone that was a professional Alterations job done to their wedding dress. My mom also took her dress and she fell in love with the quality of the work that was done to her dress. Thank you Shala for everything. The quality of the work is superb and the customer service is excellent! Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess in my wedding day! I will add pictures of my dress once my wedding photographer sends them to me. Again thank you Shala! Amazing experience! Lucero/Lucy

THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE!!!! Brides DO NOT go here unless you want a headache, miscommunication, unprofessionalism, price changes, and your dress not being ready on time.

BRIDE BEWARE! If i could give zero stars, I WOULD. Fatemeh made so many excuses, ripped me off and falsely advertised on the services she would provide. She procrastinated so badly that my dress wasn't even finished by the time I left for my wedding. I am extremely disappointed with her service, how the dress fit and the fact that she wasted my time driving to her when she clearly had not worked on my dress. I knew she didn't do anything except add bra cups and sleeves (for grabs total of $650!!) because the fit was so loose...she tried to lie and say it was because I lost weight. I know that was not the case because i do dexa scans every month that let me know if my weight or body composition changes. I did not lose that in two days time. I felt so put on the spot that evening before my wedding -she clearly procrastinated and had me drive 5 hours a few days before without letting me know she had not finished or worked on the dress at all. I wasted my time and money. I was in her shop late because she didn't do anything to the dress and wanted to take advantage of the timing since I needed the dress that night. Her work (or lack thereof) ruined my wedding photos as my dress was falling down. I paid over $600 for her to do a hack job (sleeves and bra cups) the night before I needed the dress. I wish Mariposa bridal HAD NEVER recommended her. I'm so so disappointed. I was married in a castle abroad and the venue was perfect, I will have to photoshop images where the dress is falling off because it was so big and my dress looks huge. All the pins she said she would work on a few days before like in the waist, bust and hips were not completed, but then she tells me her husband is in the hospital and I'm up against the wall because I leave for my wedding the next morning. This was NOT the first time something was brought up for why work was not done or why she was not responding. She never accepted responsibility for procrastinating and complained about customers always writing bad reviews. Now I know why. Such unprofessional and substandard service. Regardless of the circumstances, I paid for services and I didn't receive what was paid for. I felt manipulated and taken advantage of. RUN AWAY.

I know this alteration place has gotten a lot of poor reviews but let me tell you that she was busy and sadly as brides we forget to review after we are told how beautiful we looked. I can show you before and after pictures and tell you that she made this happen in a matter of 3 weeks. I was proposed to end of may and was married September 2nd . Bought the dress in end of June and didn't t get it to alteration until end of July. She quickly worked around my schedule. Allowed friends and family to see dress before I took it home and was honest and directed with her eye on what was best for the bride. Kept my pockets on my dress and recreated the front to my taste. Communication with accent could be hard but not impossible when her craftsmanship is great that is all that matters. She was timely and professional!!!

If I was just rating on quality of alteration, I would give it 5 stars. My dress came out PERFECT. I loved it so much and think that Shala is a master at her craft. However, this process was the most stressful part of my whole wedding prep. She did not show up to my first fitting, and I had to wait an hour for her to get there. For my second fitting, she was out of town and did not even call me to reschedule. I called her multiple times and she did not respond. This was 11 days before my wedding. She kept telling me not to worry, but how could I not when I cannot get in contact with her and she has proven to be unreliable. It was finally ready for pick up 3 days before my wedding. I was a mess up until that point. I was extremely happy with the end result, but the process was not worth it.
