Right, so, I will be honest, I didn't actually use Ivan's tailoring services. I am sure he is a perfectly capable tailor and alterations specialist, but his attitude completely put me off. Let me explain… My friend and I arrived at his shop a little after 11 am. I needed to have four pairs of jeans hemmed, and my friend wanted to get the waistband of his shorts adjusted. Ivan's shop door was slightly ajar, so we assumed he was open for business. I called out his name before entering, but was met with a rather grumpy expression. The first thing he said, before we would even properly introduced ourselves, was, "It'll take 7 to 14 days." Now, we weren't in a desperate rush to get our clothes back, so I told him the waiting time wasn't a problem. However, he seemed incredibly unhelpful and kept trying to discourage us from using his services. My friend eventually lost his patience and suggested we go somewhere else. We ended up going to Michelle's Alteration on the third floor instead. I found Ivan's 4.6-star Google rating quite perplexing. Several reviews mentioned his helpfulness and patience, yet my friend and I encountered a completely different side to him. Perhaps we inadvertently annoyed him, though I can't say for sure. He might simply have been having a bad day. Regardless, we definitely won't be returning.
