Expert Pre & Post Wedding Garment Care
I used Hallak Cleaners for my wedding gown preservation and they did not disappoint! My dress looks great and they were able to send me detailed pictures post-preservation to sign off before it went into the box. They were so accommodating with my schedule (unlike other places that only let you drop off/pick up on specific days/times) and they will ship your dress to you at the end! They were very responsive with all emails and I highly recommend! I would definitely use their services in the future.

STAY AWAY. UNAUTHORIZED TAILORING. DISHONEST. I dropped off an irreplaceable vintage Pucci that I wore to my welcome dinner dress strictly for spot treatment and delicate hand was...
hing. Without my permission, they hemmed and tailored the bottom—likely to cover up damage caused while in their care—making it nearly 6 inches shorter without ever having me try it on. They charged me $400 for unauthorized tailoring, and when asked to restore it, they returned it in appalling condition with mismatched fabric, new stains, and further damage. Management (Leah and Mr. Hallak) offered no real remedy or explanation, only a refund for the "tailoring." Do not trust them with anything valuable.

I had the most amazing experience working with Hallak. I purchased my dress at Glamour Closet and needed quite a few alterations. I had three fittings and each one was better than ...
the previous one. They made each change exactly as requested. Their work greatly exceeded my expectations.
I also appreciated the overall tone and feel of Hallak - they were attentive and helpful, but not at all pretentious. I felt very comfortable and I knew they were happy to accommodate my needs.
I highly recommend working with Hallak to get the perfect bridal dress fit.

I brought my dress to Hallack as the store I bought it from recommended it. There wasn't much time left to the wedding to shop around so I bit the bullet. My dress required minimal...
alterations as it fit perfectly (hemming and a minor strap shortening) however I was still charged the flat price. When I tried to get a break down of what I am paying for simce I paid almost as much as I paid for my dress I kept on being told that's the package they have with the store I bought it from and that's that.
George is a lovely guy and his work is fantastic however I found myself insisting on certain things to be done a certain way to which he agreed that it looked better; I would expect the tailor to be able to have an input / suggestions how to make the dress look better him/herself rather than the other way around.
For my first appointment I had to wait half an hour as the previous person was taking longer, which is fine, but with nowhere to sit and wait standing with heels on was far from fun experience. Please get a waiting area or separate it from the changing room.
Bottom line is - quality is good but I found it very overpriced for the work that needed to be done. If I had more time I would have shopped around and gone elsewhere where I'm charged for work done and not a flat fee.
Response from Hallak Cleaners - Manhattan on 08/04/2017
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our basic alterations package with select boutiques ...
includes the basics: hemline, taking in, contouring and a bustle (if needed). It should have been explained to you. If you had less work done, then our team should've discussed an alternative solution. (For certain gowns, we may keep the basic package price due to a gown's style (e.g. layers, ornamentation, etc.). If you would like, I would be happy to speak with you further on this matter (and the others) by emailing donna@hallak.com. I would love the opportunity to review your invoice and 'investigate' a bit more. Thank you again. And congratulations!

n with painstaking attention to detail. They handled my two layer gown carefully and listened to me and executed what my vision for the dress was. They dealt with a complicated lace pattern and the dress looked flawless when it was done. I really could not recommend them enough. It was so nice to get the price upfront after the initial confrontation and not feel like they were rushing my dress or trying to get all of the alterations done in one or two rounds. They really took their time and did a fantastic job.

Hallak Cleaners made my beautiful gown into "the one." My Nicole Miller gown fit perfectly after (multiple) alterations. Their expert opinions on how the dress should fit, how lon...
g it should be hemmed, inserts for the chest, and how to bustle for the reception were invaluable. My dress came in with two months to the wedding, and Hallak's fit me in for alterations withought cutting corners. They shared my sense of urgency but had everything perfect on time. I was scared to look at the bill after reading reviews on their price point, but pleasantly surprised when I learned that certain dress shops offer packages with Hallak. I would have been willing to pay double the rate. I am small, but curvy and had to buy a size up to fit my chest and hips. The strapless gown was altered in a way that was flattering, comfortable and did not fall all night. The changes they made accentuated my figure without being restrictive or making me feel too exposed. They took my opinions into account but firmly offered advice on how the dress should fit and how it would fall for pictures. I truly felt like a bride, and I felt comfortable and confident in the dress, thank you so much!!

ctual day. To me there was nothing else I imagined that my gown would need. Hallak color-coded my bustle ties, created my veil just the way I want, and even added a zipper to my petticoat at my request to feel secure that not even my undergarments would be out of place. I was more than prepared. So to say my gown looked better after dropping it off for cleaning and preservation than when I wore it for my wedding day is an understatement. Hallak removed grass, dirt, dust, sweat and makeup stains having worn my dress to church to a private garden estate for photographs, to the gardens behind the reception venue for more photographs and finally the dance floor. Yes, my gown looked better even after that. Hallak also promotes green cleaning and donates to the Carbonfund.org when choosing to have my gown preserved and cleaned. Their professional and exceptional care and their quality of services still impresses me.

k looking worse than when I took it to them. I thought all was lost. I did some research and decided to take it to Hallak as a last ditch attempt to wear the dress of my dreams at my wedding. They were AMAZING!! They told me the risks of having it cleaned and what they could do to try and reverse any damage. They were so personable and honest. I felt safe with them working on my dress and they kept me informed of the whole process as they were doing it. They were even able to repair a few missing rhinestones and I could never even tell they were not from the original gown. After thinking I had only a week to find a new gown for my wedding, they not only saved my dress, but calmed my nerves so that I could enjoy the last few days before my wedding. They were a lifesaver!!

I brought my gown to Hallak to be hemmed because they were supposed to be "the best". They had great reviews so I didn't mind paying a premium price for a perfect job.
When I d...
ropped it off, I informed the seamstress that I would be leaving for my destination wedding in 4 weeks. She gave me a date 2.5 weeks later to return for my 2nd fitting. I thought it was a long time to wait and pushing it time-wise, but I figured they're professionals and I need not worry.
When I arrived for my 2nd fitting, they could not find my dress. I waited for 30 minutes in a panic while they searched for it. The seamstress said she thought it might be at her house. Her excuse was that she had too many brides to keep track of all the dresses. Maybe she should get a calendar to jot down the dates she tells brides to return.
An hour later she calls me to say they found it. So I go back for the fitting and she gives me an attitude about me wanting to get the dressed finished ASAP. At this point I have one week until I leave. If something else needs to be fixed, I want to allow for enough time to do so. From what I've been told by my sister (who has been a wedding planner for the past 7 years) and my group of close friends who are married, I was supposed to give one month for alterations to make sure I'm not going to fluctuate in size before the wedding. She snapped at me and said she needed three, which is fine if that's how you operate...but why not tell me that from the beginning? I'd have taken it somewhere else if they didn't think one month was enough time to hem a dress.
My work schedule conflicts with the seamstresses hours of 730-330 so coordinating times to see her was difficult. She did end up having the dress ready for the next day (credit given there) for me to pick up after work, but it was after her shift so I was not able to try it on again with her.
When I tried the dress on at home, the first hem was done on a machine, so there are holes all along the bottom. I sew so I know that test hems should be done by hand. It was also uneven, so I had to take it to another seamstress the Sunday before my trip to be fixed.
Bottom line, for $350 to hem a dress, I had higher expectations. My best friend had he dress hemmed and taken in for $200 and it only took 3 days.
Response from Hallak Cleaners - Manhattan on 09/22/2012
As the bridal coordinator, I was shocked to read this review because I was not made aware ...
of the situation. I wish I had the opportunity to discuss this with you and tried to "correct" or at the very least apologize properly. On behalf of the Hallak "family", I do apologize for the stress and inconvenience that arose from this. From working with brides for nearly fifty years and having a respected reputation, this is certainly not the norm. After reading, I went over your review and spoke with each department involved. I wish to make a point that our team does NOT normally take items home to finish. Unfortunately, the seamstress involved was "on vacation" (at home) and did not want to let any brides down. It was to be discussed and "okay'd" with any bride before doing so. Again, I do apologize because a "misplaced" item would be enough to alarm anyone ...especially on an item as important as a bridal gown.As for the team of seamstresses, they do have set hours but I have made "after hour" appointments with them (at no additional cost) many times; I am sorry if that was not made aware or suggested to you. If you have a moment, I invite to please call me at 201.343.7333 x222 to discuss this further. I would like the opportunity to let you see why so many others trust Hallak Cleaners and walk away completely satisfied. Thank you for your time.

My Vera Wang was purchased from The Bridal Garden and I didn't have time to use their cleaners. I brought it to another company and a woman working there, on the sly, told me to ta...
ke it to Hallak that this is what they specialize in - cleaning the uncleanable. The dress was a sample that had been tried on a million times - it was dirty and a mess but beautiful no matter how dirty. Hallak cleaned the dress in record time; they were kind, curteous and when I got the dress back I was speechless - it looked new - amazing. My dressmaker was just as shocked - she didn't think it was possible to make this dress look as good as it does. It's 45 minutes to Hallak from my house. Worth every minute in the car for the results. My wedding is in a week and I will bring it back to Hallak after I return from my honeymoon for preservation. PS - it wasn't cheap but it is worth it - I can't wait to wear my gown!

I am so lucky to have found Hallak cleaners for my wedding dress alterations! I had purchased my dress in Feb for my Sept wedding and brought it for alterations to another dressma...
king shop in Midland Park, NJ. The woman held my dress prisoner until August 16, when I went for my fitting she had CUT the bottom unevenly AND too short, took apart the beaded bodice and just completed messed up my gown (and then had the nerve to scream in my face not to criticize her work and that I'd have to deal with it because it's a hard dress to work on!). In a panic, I was trying to find someone to fix my dress which was now too short and too small 1 month before my wedding date!! I called a couple places and Hallak cleaners was the only place that told me that we could make it work in time. My mother & I brough my dress in that day and Kiymet very calmly looked at all the problems that needed to be fixed--2 days later I came back for a fitting to see if the length could be fixed and it looked better already. I went back for 3 more fittings in the next 2 weeks and the dress was absolutely perfect! Kiymet had taken my dress home to complete all the work on time and completely reconstructed my dress!! She also hand beaded the back piece that goes behind the corset to make it go with the front of the dress! Kiymet is the ONLY REASON I have something to wear down the aisle next weekend!! She also fixed my mom's dress and my maid of honor's dress, both which were vandalized by the same dressmaker that ruined my gown. I highly recommend going to her first before chancing it with someone else!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't realize how dirty my wedding dress was until the nice man at Hallak pointed it out to me! The good news is they got all the stains out and the dress is very well preserved...
in a beautiful box. I like that I am able to see (and touch--thanks to the gloves they provide) my dress after it's been cleaned and boxed.
The final product is very professionally presented. Also, the fact that they have a location in New Jersey saved me a lot of hassle and the risk of sending it off somewhere. Pricing is also very competitive.

I bought my wedding dress at a sample sale - there was some mis-communication over the cleaning with the dress shop. So in a panic I went online and found Hallak. Donna was extre...
mely helpful and was very responsive. I was at a week out before the big day and they were able to pick-up and drop-off (free!) and have the dress looking gorgeous! I highly recommend their work and their customer service was outstanding!
