Chroma by Maria is owned by Maria, who works as the colorist and extension specialist. The name Chroma comes from the Greek word for color. The studio is a private suite in Wayne, and the salon describes itself as a custom K-tip extension and color specialist on the Philadelphia Main Line.
Every visit starts with a free consultation of about 20 to 30 minutes, with no commitment required. It covers hair history, lifestyle and goals, density and health checks, extension color matching, an at-home maintenance plan and a detailed price quote. Extension pricing is discussed at this visit once the hair, goals and method have been assessed, and extension installs are booked only after an in-person consultation.
Color work covers all-over single process color for gray coverage, deepening a shade or a bigger change, plus foil highlights, lowlights, and freehand balayage and hand-painted highlights for dimension. Lightening is finished with a glaze or toner. A formaldehyde-free keratin treatment is offered to smooth hair and reduce frizz. Services can be added to other work, such as a blowdry after any color, lightening or toning service.
K-tip extensions are individual strands of real human hair, each tipped with a small keratin bead and fused near the root with a heat tool. Each set is hand-placed and color-matched, and the studio says that because one person handles both color and extensions, the match is exact from the first day. Installation days are set aside as a full day with snacks and drinks, and clients leave with at-home products, an extension-safe brush and care guidance.
Color and extension work is planned around a detailed assessment of hair health, density and natural movement, with color matched to each client and maintenance planned from the start.
