A NEW clothing alteration shop on Chesterway is proving to be a big hit with customers since opening.

Chic Professional Alterations, based near Lidl and B&M, alter everything from wedding dresses and men’s suits as well as carrying out repairs including fixing broken zips on jeans and jackets.

The company was set up and is run by husband and wife team Nesrin and Marcus Mentesh, who moved to the area from Stretford in May this year.

And they the pair say they are glad they made the move as the business has gone from strength to strength since opening.

“My wife worked as a seamstress in the Trafford centre for eight years, but she always wanted to open up her own business,” said Marcus.

“We started doing some research as to where the best place would be, and we found that there was a shortage of shops like this in the area.

“We decided to move to Davenham and open up the shop in Northwich, and it looks to have been a wise decision as we’ve gone from strength to strength since then.”

The business uses state of the art alteration machines and ironing presses to provide a professional service, and this has led to the pair receiving rave reviews from customers.

Northwich Guardian:

One review on the Chic Alterations Facebook page reads: “Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job making my outfit for my niece’s wedding.

“Everyone complimented me on my outfit! It was a difficult challenge to make it how I wanted, but you did it perfectly.”

And it is positive comments like this that have made both Marcus and Nesrin so welcome in Northwich.

“It’s great to see all the positive feedback from customers, and just hearing that people are happy with our work is fantastic,” Marcus added.

“The main thing is that the customer is happy, and if we don’t get a review, then we know we’ve not done our job properly.

“Since opening, we’ve both met some great people in the area and it’s always nice when they pop in to see us either for a job or just a chat.”

Chic Professional Alterations is open between 9am and 6pm from Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays.
