Very happy with the work and was very quick - was told to come back for pickup on Friday and then got a text on Wednesday saying my pants were ready. She was thorough in making sure everything was perfect, and I will certainly be back for any alterations I need in the future.
Granville Professional Alterations are fantastic. I have purschased a dress that needed to add straps and they did a wonderful job. Found a perfect matching color and material and proposed great suggestions. Also I have to shorten few dresses and do other alterations. I am 100% satisfied and I apprecate how professional they are. Farnous is kind, helpful and professional. 100% SUGGEST THEM. YOU WILL LOVE THEM!
from talking on the phone, i got a good feeling about tina. i had purchased three pairs of pants from zara and all of them needed hemming. the place i usually go to get my jeans hemmed, quoted me $20/pair to get my pants shortened. i googled and started calling around to four places and tina convinced me she was the one. she's located on the vancouver block at 736 granville street, unit 321. tina is professional, friendly and well dressed. her shop exudes a quaint and eclectic charm, with a black and white framed photo of the iconic and elegant audrey hepburn. the decor features a mix of classic and whimsical elements, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. the display case is filled with an assortment of collectible dolls, decorative items, mini tea sets, and issues of flare fashion magazines. she explained how she is meticulous in her measurements, making sure that the hem is even, and she also presses the hem. for the short time that we interacted, i can tell she is a perfectionist and that she takes pride in her work. i was quoted $18 for each pant. i tried on each pair, and she started to put safety pins and asked if the length was okay. the second pair of pants was a linen mix, and she suggested i wash it first. based on her experience, this may not need to be altered, as linen tends to shrink. the third pant was more dressy, and she suggested i bring this back another day, with the shoes i would normally wear it with, to accurately shorten the pants. she let me try on a pair of her high heels, but it was too high for me. i dropped by on a friday of a long weekend at around 4:00 pm. it was not possible for me to have the pants altered the same day, but tina said it could be done by the next day. since i was busy on saturday, we had agreed that i would come by on monday instead, and yes, credit cards are accepted. at the other place i go to, they only accept cash, or debit, and have to pay before the work is even done. tina does good quality work, one the pants i brought over was even double stitched. she is hardworking and busy, limiting three items of clothing for alterations per visit.
