Shirley's is hands down the best place to get alterations in the Bay Area!!! Miss Veda is a PRO who helped tailor my incredibly intricate wedding dress, as well as two other one-pieces that had a lot of complicated and unique textures and customizations that needed her expertise. She has impeccable attention to detail, and the team of folks I worked with at the shop were kind, thorough, and made sure I was in perfect shape for my wedding day. After my 5-star experience, this is the only place I will go in the Bay for my tailoring needs. They're the best!

I love Sherman Cleaners. I recently moved here from Washington,DC and they remind me of the best cleaners in my hometown. The service is impeccable and my clothes are always ready for pick-up before the estimated date. Great customer service too!

Wonderful experience. Such fine, high-quality work at a very fair price. Hemmed and repaired five pairs of pants for me which are now all staples of my wardrobe. Accepted a walk in appointment. Very professional, great customer service. So happy to have Shirley’s in the neighborhood. My wife had a wonderful experience with them as well.
