I had come to Haydee to get a top made, this lady asked me to come for fitting on 4/15. I had to reschedule, so I called on 4/15 morning to let ask if could come on Monday. She told me she was hospitalized for bronchitis for 3 days, so to make things easy for her I asked if she needed more time, where I was told my things are ready and to come on Tuesday because she wants to wrap things up. So on Tuesday I go in for a fitting all the way from SF, this lady spends 10 minutes giving a spiel about how terrible some other customer is and tells me she didn't ask me to come for the fitting. She throws a fit when I ask her very politely if it wasn't ready she should've just let me know. She starts cussing and throws my uncut fabric at me. I understand Illness can delay things but what is the use of asking someone to come in if you are just going to attack them? Save yourself the trouble and take your business elsewhere. This lady is more interested in badmouthing other customers than doing her job

I wanted to support local business so I decided to take my wedding gown here based on Google reviews.I was once told bustle will be done in buttons but instead, it was done hooks and eyes. Pretty dissapointing.Also to take down shoulder area, instead of removing extra fabric, she pinched the fabric and saw it together leaving shoulder straps clumped and bulky. (it's pretty visible - I was honestly sad about how she fixed it).Her reason was "the top portaion was done in one fabric and I did not want to take time to remove extra fabric. It would take me time".I now have to re-do bustle and shoulders by myself after paying her $200.00 (which also included skirt shorten service).This service took 3 weeks. (I dropped it off on March 11, 2022, and was done on April 1, 2022).If you want to support local business, go support her. She only accepts alteration by appointments and she will not give out quotes over the phone.Service: Alterations

Haydee altered both my wedding dress and my fiancé's tux. So perfect! She was sweet, knew her stuff and priced fair. So grateful for her expertise! My dress needs lots of altering with all the beadwork but she handled it! Thanks Haydee!!

I started going to Haydee about 2 years ago or so. She does an amazing job! From simple hemming to complicated alterations request to take in or out - she can do it. And if it's not worth doing, she'll let you know too. Price is reasonable. I do recommend calling first before you go see her. She's a nice lady who can give it to you straight.

Really unprofessional behavior. 1) took off her mask and breathed all over me, didn't even ask if I was ok with it 2) did not know to to subtly hem my dress 3) told me it was impossible even though the store I bought it from (BHLDN) said that it was 4) acted patronizing when I showed her pictures of other hem jobs ("sweetie, there's no way that this was hemmed") Long: I got a wedding dress from BHLDN. Usually these dresses are made long to accomodate different heights, and BHLDN assured me that it could be shortened subtly for my height. When I took my dress to Haydee she said this was impossible and made me feel stupid for even bringing it up. It's a popular dress, so showed her pictures of the same dress in the same size being modified to fit someone shorter than me. She claimed that it must have never been hemmed and that I was being tricked. Haydee almost convinced me (saying there wasn't enough time before my wedding and that I should book her NOW) but my mom insisted on taking me to get another opinion. We called the BHLDN store and they again told me that it was designed to be hemmed (as all their dresses are). They recommended me someone else, who showed me how there are these flaps that are built into the bottom of the skirt so that when you do the hem job, they can hide the sewing. They said this was really common for wedding dresses. I thought this information could be useful for Haydee in her future work and to let her know I was going with some else (which I know can be awkward but I figured was better than ghosting her), so I texted to let her know these things, but she turned pretty rude - see attached screenshot. As a pretty important aside, she also took off her mask and breathed all over me during my appointment with her. When I prodded her about it, she said it was just too uncomfortable. Great, I hope I didn't catch Covid her...

She hemmed my dress for my daughters wedding Aug 1 2020. Dress had 3 layers. Perfect hem. She also took the fabric that she cut off and finished both edges. Now I can use them as a neck scarf

I have given Haydee a number of things to work on with professional results. Her prices are reasonable and she turns it around in a reasonable amount of time. It was always ready when she said it would be. However, in one case a major alteration was beyond her capabilities. For a major alteration definitely try it on before leaving it with her and make your expectations clear. Overall, she is very good at what she does and I will continue to use Haydee. There is a city parking lot close to her location, which is good as street parking is pretty full around there.

The seamstress is a very nice lady and obviously works hard since it's in the middle of wedding season. She is one of the few that can tailor Indian wedding lehengas and got it done in less than a week which was great... not so great was not letting out the seams low enough for me. My dress still gaped open on the chest and was a bit embarrassing for wedding photos. The rest of the tailoring was great and smooth though and I danced all night joyfully without a blowout from it being too tight before Haydee's. 4.5 stars

Plain and simple, she's amazing! The proof is 3 daughters and a son, countless proms and banquets. Thank You Haydee.

I am nothing but impressed with Haydee. 1. I brought her a dress that was poorly made in Turkey. 2. She quickly identified that the hem was crooked the waist was crooked and the sleeves too long and the sleeve lining was wrong. 3. She never criticized the dress maker either which I was impressed with; to me it shows that while her skill was better she was modest and humble. 4. She also added an extra touch which finished the dress nicely. 5. The work was turned around in the time promised and the cost was low. Haydee was also sweet and kind.

Haydee is by far the best! I came here by recommendation from my significant others mother who has used her services before. I needed someone who was experienced because it was a bridesmaids dress alteration so I decided to give her a call. Well from the day I walked into her shop until I picked up my dress, I was left with a wonderful experience. She makes sure you are happy with her work and she's just so kind hearted. I picked up my dress a few days before the wedding and it was perfect! I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again, her prices and professionalism are hard to beat! Thank you again Haydee :)
