What Is a Partial Smoothing Treatment?
A partial smoothing treatment works with your hair’s existing texture rather than overriding it. At Mint on the Avenue, the approach is chosen at the bowl — after a thorough consultation — based on your hair that day. Smoothing options include Brazilian Blowout and Aveda Botanical Repair protocols, with the final selection guided by your hair’s condition, your lifestyle, and the amount of frizz reduction you’re after. The goal is always hair that moves the way you want it to, not hair that has been flattened into submission.
Partial smoothing treatments at Mint on the Avenue start at $150. Final pricing depends on your artist level, hair length, and the specific goal of your visit — the team confirms with you before any service begins. Plan on approximately 180 minutes in the chair.
How Does Partial Smoothing Fit Into Texture Services?
Texture work is a quiet specialty at Mint on the Avenue. The full texture menu moves across a wide range — from Yuko Japanese straightening for guests who want a lasting structural change, to Brazilian Blowout smoothing for those seeking frizz control with some flexibility, to curl-defining work built around Be Curly Advanced. A partial smoothing treatment sits in the middle of that range: meaningful frizz reduction and faster dry time, without the permanence of a full straightening service.
Every texture appointment at Mint uses Aveda — plant-based, cruelty-free formulas developed to the same standard taught at an Aveda institute. As an Aveda Concept Salon, the team trains continuously on the line, which means the science behind each service is consistent and current. For bond integrity, Botanical Repair. For moisture balance, Nutriplenish. For scalp health, Scalp Solutions. The consultation up front determines which protocols are layered in.
