(Daughter’s Point of View -See Testimonial Below for Mother’s!) I am so lucky to have found Hallak Cleaners for my wedding dress alterations!  I had purchased my dress in February for my September wedding and brought it  for alterations to another dressmaking shop in Midland Park, NJ, where my dress was ruined from top to bottom.  My mother and I brought my dress in that day to Hallak 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. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! Kiymet did such a beautiful job!!!!

I cannot begin to thank your alteration department in Hackensack enough! We had my daughters wedding gown at another place in Bergen County since April & when we went in August for a fitting the dress had numerous mistakes. After searching online bridal sites, my daughter found your business & contacted your alterations department. Even before seeing the gown she was told that they would work with her & have her dress ready for her September 17 wedding!  When we arrived at your shop on August 18, all of the women in your alterations department examined & made suggestions for fixing this nearly ruined gown.  Ms. Kiymet was extremely patient & reassuring to my daughter, who was very upset. We were asked to come back in only 2 days for a fitting. I later learned that Ms. Kiymet took the gown home to make repairs so it would be ready that Saturday. Ms. Kiymet has done alterations on my mother of the bride gown,which had been at the same shop & needed repairs also. We were just in Saturday, September 3 & Kiymet has finished both gowns & they came out beautiful! I appreciate your very talented & dedicated seamstresses, especially Kiymet, who basically needed to reconstruct the whole wedding gown & did it in a little over two weeks! Thank you so much for saving this beautiful wedding gown for my daughter! I will continue to let everyone know about the wonderful service Hallak alterations provides

It was  five years ago yesterday, that George Hallak passed away.  He was the brother of our father, Joseph Hallak, Senior.  George spent his entire life in the dry cleaning business – beginning in the Bronx, and then moving to Teaneck, NJ.  He sold his business in 2001 and we had the pleasure of having our Uncle George as part of the Hallak Cleaners team for the last five years of his life.  Everyone who worked at his side loved him, and his contagious smile and constant exuberance are greatly missed by all who had the privilege and pleasure of knowing him.
