My daughter's school uniform skirts needed to be hemmed. Nick's Tailor is close to my job, so I decided to try them out. It's a tiny business located on Manhattan Beach Blvd. The only parking is street metered parking, so make sure to bring some change.
While entering, I was greeted by an older man. I think he's the owner. The place itself is basic, nothing fancy, which is fine. I gave him my skirts and was told they'll be ready in a week. That was fine; I wasn't in a hurry. As I was leaving, I saw a sign that said cash only. Luckily I saw it, or else I would have tried to pay with a card (I never have cash on me). But I feel that he should've mentioned it to me. He also didn't give me a price, I didn't ask either, but I feel usually, that's something you mention.
When the week passed, I went to pick up the skirts. I remembered to bring cash! But, I was unsure how much to bring because he didn't tell me. Ugh! I thought maybe $30 would cover it ($15 for each). Well, I was way off! It cost $50! My hubby and I were like, wtf! Haha. My fault for not asking. But I feel that $50 is a bit crazy for just two basic skirts. So make sure you ask how much!
Anyways, the skirts came out fine, and it seemed he did a good job. But I still feel like I was overcharged; maybe that's why he didn't tell me the price when I dropped off. If that's the case, that's not nice! This kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, and I am unsure if I'll come back.
