Absolutely terrible. I dropped my wedding dress off in November of 2021 to get it cleaned and boxed. When I picked up the dress about a month later I drove home to find the box seal opened. None of my valuables were shown (shoes, earrings, etc.) The bottom of the dress was still completely black. I would have never known if the seal wasnt broken and I didn't take it back. It is now end of March 2022 and the dress still is not clean and boxed.

I have now visited them approximately 10-15 times because they keep having me come in to view the dirty dress. I called today to pick it up and they said it was ready to go. I got there and they don't have it ready. I am so sick of visiting this place and the dress is still not ready. Manager has never been apologetic and makes excuses every time. This has been the most stressful part of the entire wedding process. Save your time, money, and effort and take your wedding dresses elsewhere!

This location is a lot larger than the other Highland Cleaners on Bardstown. My 4-star review is strictly for the service. I brought my clothes in on Monday and it was ready for pickup on Tuesday at 5pm. They were super fast and nice - especially since I was in a rush. The reason I couldn't give it a full 5 star was because it was a bit on the pricier end, however, since I was looking for something more convenient, and I knew that I was going to be paying for that - I knew what I was getting myself into. Also - there's parking! (Not something you see often on Bardstown Rd!)

I have had great experiences with this location of Highland Cleaners! I typically visit the location in the Highlands, as it's closer to my house, but I have been to this location twice for alterations, and I have dropped off dry cleaning items here during those visits. The dry cleaning was always up to par with what I've experienced at the other location. It was always quick and easy to drop items off, and they clearly tell you when your items will be ready. Picking up was always quick and the prices were reasonable.

Both items I had altered here turned out great! One was a bridesmaids dress that needed shortened and they were able to quickly and easily hem the dress up for me at a reasonable price. I had the dress in time for the wedding and it fit perfectly. If you're looking for a place for alterations or dry cleaning, I think this location of Highland Cleaners is great!

I dropped off a pair of casual tan jean type pants to have them shortened. When I picked them up they were altered like they were supposed to be but someone decided they were going to press them ( with creases ) n of course do it using starch. When I took them back asked the girl at the counter why they would put creases in jeans.she feels the material of the pants n doesn't say anything. As if the material meant they should be pressed with a crease.

I asked them to take the crease out n she informs me that it may not come out because of the starch they use. But they would, " try free of charge " First. I don't understand why she would think it would be anything but free of charge. Second dropping them off I didn't request pressing. And esp a crease. It was obvious looking at the pants these are flat front casual pants. But more than all that. if they have ruined the pants I expect a refund of what I paid for the alterations and the pants to be paid for. I have a VM into the manager. I'll update when I hear back.
