The Good Stuff
Invisible repairs
A torn-off button left a nasty hole in new trousers, but one customer said the repair was invisible.
Complex designs
A regular customer specifically praised the work on alterations involving complex designs.
Fast turnaround
Several reviews mention alterations being ready ahead of schedule, including one completed before the stated two-day timeframe.
Easy parking
The Silicon Oasis location is described as convenient, with easy parking for quick alteration visits.
Text updates
Customers appreciate receiving text messages, including collection reminders when garments are ready.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm pricing. Ask for the complete price before handing over the garment, and clarify any “full” or “half” alteration terms.
Confirm timing. Get the collection time clearly confirmed, especially for an event or deadline, because some customers reported unfinished work at pickup.
Inspect pickup. Check thread colour and finish before leaving; one customer found grey stitches showing on shortened light green linen trousers.
Allow navigation. The branch is next to Spinneys but can be a little hidden, so allow extra time to find it.
Use reminders. If you use the text-message updates, check your messages for collection reminders after the stated completion time.

The Bottom Line
Tailor & Tweak is a clothing alteration service in Dubai Silicon Oasis, useful for everyday fittings as well as more awkward repairs. Reviews mention shirts, jeans and suits, dress adjustments, school-uniform alterations, and repairs that can make damaged pieces look practically new. One customer described an invisible repair to a torn-off button hole; another said complex designs were handled to an impeccable standard.
The Silicon Oasis branch is praised for accurate pinning and fitting, polite service, easy parking, and a location beside Spinneys, although one reviewer found it a little hidden. Several customers received work ahead of the promised time, and the text-message collection reminder is a helpful touch. That said, timing is not perfectly consistent: other reviews describe garments still unfinished at pickup.
Price is the main reason to pause. Some customers call it reasonable, but others report steep or unpredictable quotes, including over 400 AED for jeans, ~450 AED for shortening and top alterations on a dress, and 150dh to resize a Santa stocking/sack. A reviewer said the quoted price doubled on returning with the item.
Ask for the full written price before leaving the garment, clarify what “full” or “half” means, and confirm the collection time. For valuable or delicate pieces, inspect the thread and finish at pickup; one customer received grey stitches on light green linen trousers.
