- MSMaira SuroJan 4, 20263.0The experience of the piercing was great. We were well taken care of by the lovely staff (the salesperson and the piercing lady). They could not have been nicer. Unfortunately, within 5 weeks my lovely diamond somehow had fallen out of my earring and when I called the store, the manger refused to help me. This despite the fact that I had 3 piercings done and my daughter had 2. A pricey afternoon for sure. I was told to contact customer service. Clearly customer service is not their strong suit when things go wrong.
- CSCC SYNov 29, 20251.0Very bad service. They only try to sell large diamond of the piercing, and when I ask about cheaper ones, the person who did piercing just gave me very rude and bad attitude. I think they are less trained to be polite to people and lack of education.
- OPOlivia PerryNov 8, 20255.0Today was my third piercing done here, second with Stephan. Stephan is the best! He makes the process so fun and easy breazy and pain free! Maria Tash also has an amazing selection of jewelry (though it’s primarily all on the pricier side).
- PKParisa KhademiNov 8, 20255.0Love Stefan! He has done my helix and conch and is so professional and amazing at what he does. The best!
- JGJenny GonzalezOct 14, 20255.0Fueron my amables y me gustó hacer sus perforación para las orejas que fueron a mano , no con máquina.
Frequently Asked Questions About MARIA TASH | Fine Jewelry & Luxury Piercing
Are your earrings sold as singles or pairs?
Maria Tash jewelry is sold as singles unless otherwise stated. To order a pair, please add two of the items to your cart. Our large earrings are the only items we sell in pairs. These items are pictured as a pair and the product description also states that they’re sold as a pair.
What size jewelry works best for me?
Our experience involves you pairing one-on-one with our stylists to completely guide you through your styling and piercing. There are multiple sizes to our jewelry, but our team will make sure that you are properly sized and confident.
What is the difference between a threaded and traditional stud?
Threaded backings use a screw-on/off design that makes the earring stay more securely in the ear. This is our standard style of jewelry. A traditional backing is also available. This is the traditional style of earring where you have a butterfly back that is separate and pushes onto the post to hold the jewelry in place.
