What Is the Foundation Service at Mint on the Avenue?

- Foundation Service Consultation
- A complimentary, approximately 45-minute appointment at Mint on the Avenue during which your stylist conducts a strand-test when warranted, reviews reference photos, and delivers a written hair plan. No color is applied at this visit.
- Strand-Test
- A small, controlled test of color or chemical product on a section of your actual hair — performed before any color service is booked — to confirm predictable results and protect hair integrity.
- Written Hair Plan
- A documented record of the agreed service sequence, product selections, and timing that you receive before leaving the salon, so there are no surprises on appointment day.
