What Is a Medium Coily Silk Press?
A silk press is a heat-styling service that temporarily straightens natural hair without chemical alteration, preserving the underlying curl pattern for the next wash. The “medium coily” designation refers to the hair’s natural texture — typically a Type 3C or 4A pattern — which requires a specific heat-protective protocol to avoid damage. At Mint on the Avenue, every silk press is a Smooth Infusion service: the Aveda line seals the cuticle, adds reflective shine, and creates a barrier between the hair and the pressing tool. The result is smooth, movement-rich hair that returns to its natural curl pattern after washing.
How Does a Silk Press Fit Into the Mint Hair Menu?
The hair menu at Mint on the Avenue is built around shapes and services that grow out well between visits to Park Avenue. From a precision bob to a long-layered shag, every cut and finish service is designed with the next six weeks in mind. The Medium Coily Silk Press sits within that same philosophy — a service that respects what the hair does naturally, rather than working against it. Starting at $100 and running approximately 120 minutes, it is one of the more considered appointments on the menu: time is built in to consult, assess the hair’s current condition, and confirm the approach before any heat is applied. Every product used is Aveda — plant-based, cruelty-free, and formulated to the same standard you would find at an Aveda institute.
Why Do Guests Come to Winter Park for a Silk Press?

That continuity matters for coily hair, where the relationship between heat, moisture, and curl integrity changes with every season and every service. Guests travel from ZIP codes 32806 (Delaney Park), 32812 (Conway), 32789 (Winter Park), and 32792 (Winter Park / Goldenrod) for that consistency. The SunRail stop on Park Avenue provides transit access for those coming from further south or north along the corridor. The salon’s position — one block from the Morse Museum of American Art, next door to Reynolds Jewelers — also makes it easy to fold a 120-minute appointment into any Park Avenue afternoon that includes the Winter Park Farmers Market or a meal at Prato or Tabla.
