First of all make sure to go to a real tailor, not some guy who does alterations while selling mobile phones and Turkish rugs as well.
My tailor is a woman who learned the business, she does alterations as well as real tailor jobs like custom suits /dresses.
Never had an issue with her work, without telling she always knows what to do. Only info she needs is wether I want to wear the pants with or without cuffing. Always the perfect length, always satisfied.
She refuses to cut off material from unwashed jeans, because of the expected shrinkage after washing them. I think that's smart.
