What Is a Coarse Coily Silk Press?

A silk press is a thermal straightening technique — not a chemical one. For coarse, tightly coiled hair, the process requires more preparation, more precision, and a deeper understanding of how heat moves through a dense curl pattern. At Mint on the Avenue, the coarse coily silk press is built around Aveda Smooth Infusion: a cleanse and condition sequence that preps the cuticle, followed by a blow-dry and flat-iron pass calibrated to your specific texture. The result is a smooth, reflective finish that holds without compromising the natural curl waiting underneath. Final pricing depends on artist level, hair length, and the goal of your visit — the team always confirms with you before any tool touches your hair.

How Does a Silk Press Fit Into a Full Hair Visit?

Plan on approximately 120 minutes in the chair. That window covers the full Smooth Infusion protocol — shampoo, condition, blow-dry, and press — plus a consultation at the start and a finishing review at the end. If you are combining the silk press with a cut, the cut is dry-finished and shape-focused; the team talks lifestyle, growth pattern, and at-home product routine before shears are ever introduced, so the shape holds past Park Avenue and into your everyday. Every product used across the visit is Aveda — plant-based, cruelty-free, and mixed to the standard the team trains on continuously as an Aveda Concept Salon.

Why Do Guests Drive to Winter Park for a Silk Press?

The answer is consistency. As an Aveda Concept Salon, the team at Mint on the Avenue trains continuously on the Aveda line — the science behind each service is the same standard you would find at an Aveda institute. That consistency draws guests from well outside the 32789 ZIP: regulars arrive from 32779 (Longwood), 32801 (Downtown Orlando), 32806 (Delaney Park), and 32812 (Conway). The SunRail stop on Park Avenue makes the trip straightforward for those coming from the south or north corridor. Once here, the salon sits a few doors from Tabla and around the corner from Briar Patch Books — easy to fold into any Park Avenue afternoon.
