Excellent work – I bought a suit off the rack for an upcoming wedding. Of course, the problem with off-the-rack suit purchases is that they fit, but don't fit perfectly. The sleeves didn't show any shirt, the shoulders were slightly uneven, and the pants were about a half-size too small around the waist (one size bigger at BR was way too big). I told Nick I needed the alterations done within 3 weeks because I had a wedding to go to. He finished them in 2 weeks and the cost was $57. Well worth it! Now I have an inexpensive su... read more

BEST Tailor in Columbia! – I have been to Nick's Tailoring twice now and had a great experience both times! I recently lost a lot of weight, so I took him 7 tops, a dress and 7 pair of pants. Every one of them look like they were custom made for me now! I was thrilled with the precision and quality of his work-- and I am VERY picky! It is true that he is a little more expensive and takes a little longer than other places, but, I am telling you, it's worth the wait and the price! He is very fair with his pricing. He will be m... read more

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED – This is an honest account of Nick's Tailoring. I like many of you, read the reviews to find a good tailor to get my clothes altered in Columbia, SC. I read SCDMH and jadehorse77's review but didn't think too much of it because there were reviews by others who had positive experiences. So I went to Nick's in two separate occasions to get my suits altered and here are my experiences: First Warning: He has this disturbing business practice where he never writes the quoted price on the slip! Luckily I took a... read more

Worth every penny. – Nick is simply an excellent tailor. Very professional, uses chalk to mark alterations (does not damage fabric). Will make a suit look like it was custom made. Also, like a good tailor should, he will tell you if something looks good or if it was a bad buy. I prefer honesty. He also does custom suits as well (once I can afford one). You should be aware that it will cost you approx. $60-70 to fully tailor a suit (pants and jacket). If you balk at that, then take a picture of yourself in the suit before and... read more

Best Tailor In Columbia, SC! Great Alterations! – I've been a regular customer of Nick's for about four years now, and I highly recommend him. Since I am petite with a longish torso and shortish limbs, nearly every piece of clothing I buy must be adjusted, and I am very particular about my alterations. I take everything to Nick and am always very satisfied with the results. Count on a two-week turnaround (three weeks just before Christmas) and expect to pay more than you would at the dry cleaner. The price difference is well... read more

Not worth it – I had a formal dress that was a little too big. Nick had it taken in, and charged me $75. The dress itself was only worth $100, so it cost almost as much as the dress to get it taken in. Nick was very polite and friendly, but I felt that I was being gouged with the price.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON NIC'S – I was told that it would take a month to do the alterations on my wedding dress and that I should call the day before I picked it up just to be sure the dress was pressed and ready. I left the dress for a whole month and even called the day before I picked it up, as Nic had requested. WELL... when I arrived to pick up my dress the following day, I found it not only unpressed but UNTAYLORED as well!!!! He tried to hide the fact that the dress had not been touched since the day I dropped it of... read more

Top Tailor. – Nick is very good! I bought a suit at a local suit store and the alterations they made were sad. Nick fixed the mistakes and even made adjustments that they (the store) should have made but never suggested. I didn't find him much more expensive than what the store charged me. And when he did the alterations I didn't have to have them done again, unlike the store. He also makes custom shirts and suits which I imagine are very nice.

An excellent Tailor! – A true tailor! Does a great job, but a little pricey! the price is worth it though if you need something fixed the correct way. He has fixed many pieces of mine that others could have never done.
