DO NOT USE THIS TAILOR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! I WAS VERBALLY ASSAULTED BY THE TAILOR AT PAUL CHANG's and he brought me to in tears at the store. I had originally taken a dress to an excellent tailor in Old Town (Tails), who did a spectacular job taking in the dress, but it was a little too tight. I would have taken the dress back to Tails to be let out, but the owner went on vacation for a month, and I needed the dress for an upcoming wedding. In a bind, I went to Paul Chang's and asked them to let out the dress a bit. When I went to pick it up, the dress fit fine, but I noticed that the zipper wouldn't zip up all the way and a hook&eye had been added as a "quick fix" to the situation. When I pointed this out to the tailor at Paul Chang's he told me that the zipper never zipped all the way up, that I just didn't remember what the dress looked like before, and that he didn't do anything wrong. When I indicated that I did remember what the dress looked like (after having spent $100 at the other tailor on it!) and that I wanted him to try to make it look a little better, he told me that he would not tolerate being criticized by me. He then started screaming at me, saying things like, "I'm not going to take your b@!%hing, my ex-wife used to b@!%h at me!" and "I want you to get the f@!k out of here, and you better pay me!" As he continued to demand payment from me (which I never said I wouldn't give him), he waved a pair of shears in my face and threatened to cut my dress up if I didn't pay him. I can understand if you are reading this in disbelief.....it was the most unbelievable, shocking and terrifying scene I have ever been involved in. Out of fear and frustration, I began to cry in the store, and a gentleman who was waiting in line (and who witnessed the whole thing) had to take me out of the shop to help me calm down. Still extremely shaken up, I paid for the dress and got out of there as quickly as I could. I am not what you'd call sensitive and I NEVER cry in front of total strangers. I am also a lawyer, and I know what it's like to be in the service industry. When my clients need something fixed, I do my best to accomodate them, even when they are asking for something I may feel is ridiculous. No customer should be treated the way I was treated at Paul Chang's. I am looking into what the steps are to file charges for assault and intimidation with the police.
