We had the good fortune of connecting with Hector & Juliana Machuca and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hector & Juliana, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Every single Bussines born with an Idea and a plan to execute that idea, so we put everything in paper and started to plan how to develop our Bussines. There were too many things to consider such as location, hours of operations, bussines name, team members, etc. I think it is a process that never stops when you’re looking to grow, as today we continue the process.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We are committed to be the best tailor shop in town, we offer alterations for all kind of men’s and women’s clothing, including prom and bridal alterations but we also offer Custom Suits service. What set us apart from others is our extraordinary experience in clothing industry and our knowledge in Fashion. When a customer visit the shop, we not only provide tailoring services based on customer requests, as many places do, but we offer our experience on styling to guide the customer and get the best results. Out team is lead by Hector Machuca who is a Master Tailor and former PROJECT RUNWAY fashion designer, Juliana is a former fashion model and experienced Bridal Specialist, but our seamstress and tailors are meticulously selected, we make sure every single order is performed with the best quality. But that is not all, as a family business owner we are always present on the shop, welcoming and assisting to every single customer coming trough our doors, which makes the experience a completely personalized experience by offering the best costumer service.

It was not easy, we have learned a lot, we still working hard to not only keep what we have achieved but to still making it grow.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I most definitely take them to Rockets or Astro’s Game to have fun, for shopping and dining a nice option is River Oaks, but also we can visit Montrose or Heights. Something we can’t miss is a walk at memorial park and visit the museum district.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Juliana has been the forerunner of our business start, even when we both had plans for it, she pushed to make it true sooner as we expected. I must recognized my mom who passed away in 2023., I learned my basis with her even I went to fashion school to get my profesional degree.
