A Journey of Passion & Craftsmanship

From Damascus to Cuyahoga Falls

At Alterations World, we believe that tailoring is an art, and every stitch tells a story. Behind our brand stands Waseem Hanna Yousef , a master tailor and designer whose journey spans Syria, Iraq, and the United States.

With over 20 years of experience in high-end tailoring, embroidery, and fashion design, Waseem’s mission is simple: to provide expert alterations, precision embroidery, and professional dry cleaning services that exceed expectations—all at an affordable price.

A Story of

Resilience & Excellence

Waseem Hanna’s career began in Damascus, Syria, where he built a reputation as a skilled fashion designer and tailor. However, when war struck, he lost everything—his shop, his business, and the home he had worked so hard to build.

Determined to rebuild his life, Waseem fled to Erbil, Iraq, in 2018, where he faced immense challenges—including health struggles and the responsibility of supporting his family of eight. Despite these hardships, he persevered.

With sheer dedication, he opened a small tailoring shop, which over the years transformed into a successful, large-scale business serving high-profile clients from the Gulf and Europe. His commitment to craftsmanship and passion for mentoring others led him to provide free training for aspiring designers, ensuring the next generation could benefit from his expertise.

But Waseem’s dream didn’t stop there.

The Birth of Alterations World

Bringing Expertise to the USA

In 2023, Waseem took a bold step, moving to the United States to establish his next venture—Alterations World. Located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, this new business brings the same precision, artistry, and passion for tailoring, embroidery, and garment care that made him successful internationally.
