Damini Boutique — Local services in Artesia

I normally don’t like writing bad reviews for small businesses but I got ripped off here so I felt the need to. I took an Indian skirt and top to get it altered here. The man threw out a number and said it will be $70 to do alter. Since I thought that was a lot, I got it down to $60 and he charged me $6 for tax on top of it. When I asked why it cost so much, he said altering the top is the expensive part. I asked him to remove the sleeves and make the sides tighter. I gave him two weeks and when I went to pick up, the skirt was adjusted but he didn’t do a single thing to the top. I couldn’t believe I paid $60 just to alter a skirt. When I called him out, he told me to give him some time to do the alteration. I waited 30 mins, went back and all he did was remove the sleeves. When I asked yo adjust the sides, he told me yo wait again and when I tried it on again, the sides were tighter but it bubbled up on the top and was thin at the bottom. At that point, I was over it so left with the outfit. I should have gone to a different place to do...

First off, I drive from LA to get my alterations done here. I started coming here initially as I was looking for a lengha for my friends wedding. I found the dress there and had it tailored. It was done within a week and perfection. Since that time I have continued to come here with skirts and other items for tailoring. Now my big day is here and I choose to take my wedding dress here as they do a phenomenal job. Most places will take months to get the dress tailored but it was done in less than 2 hours. I only needed the waist and bust taken in as the rest was a perfect fit. It was reasonably priced at $85 and it’s perfect. Thank you again Samir and everyone for being able to accommodate me and get this back to me within hours!!! I added the photos for the dress so you can see that it wasn’t some simple dress that needed altering due to the detailing. If you are looking for a new tailor give this place a try as they do...

We went to Artesia to get a bridal outfit for my daughter for her reception. We ended up at Damini Boutique and left with not only the lehenga of her choice but also with some long-lasting memories. The owner, Samir, was not pushy and patiently helped us with our selection. The prices were reasonable and the quality was great. We had several saree-blouses stitched for the occasion and everything turned out great. We had to make a couple of trips for the trials since there were alterations. Throughout the process, Samir and his staff were very cordial and friendly. We were not charged for the alternations. If you are in a hurry, and you want to get in and out, this is not the place for you. If you are patient and you are ready to come in with an open mind and be surprised to find some gems (people and clothing) this is the place for you. I would highly...
