Mint on the Avenue, an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789, specializes in color correction — from box color removal to over-lifted tone repair — with every service priced after a thorough consultation. The salon sits a few blocks from Rollins College and Knowles Memorial Chapel, and clients arrive from across 32789, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, College Park, Maitland, and Lake Mary trusting that we will not promise what the hair cannot deliver. Color correction is a structured, multi-stage process, not a single appointment, and Mint on the Avenue handles it with a diagnosis-first approach that begins before any formula is mixed.
What Is Color Correction — and How Does It Work?
Color correction addresses the gap between where your hair color is and where it needs to be — whether that means lifting artificial pigment deposited by at-home box color, evening out banding caused by overlapping lightener, or neutralizing brassy tone left behind by aggressive bleaching. At Mint on the Avenue, the process always begins with an honest assessment of your hair’s history, current condition, and a realistic end goal.
- Strand Testing
- Included in every color correction consultation at Mint on the Avenue — a step that reveals how the hair will respond before any formula is applied to the full head.
- Multi-Session Planning
- When multiple sessions are the right path, our stylists say so plainly. Attempting everything in one appointment can cause more damage than it resolves when the color history is complex.
- Aveda Professional Color
- We use Aveda professional color throughout — chosen for its performance and for the integrity of its plant-derived ingredients.
What Color Correction Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer?
Every correction at Mint on the Avenue is priced after a consultation, because the work required varies considerably from client to client. Time, product, and the number of processing stages all factor into the final investment.
- Single-Process Color Correction — Addresses uneven base color, regrowth lines, or faded permanent color from a previous service. Includes toning and an Aveda Damage Remedy finishing treatment. Single-process color correction at Mint on the Avenue ranges from $145 to $220.
- Banding & Overlap Correction — Targets visible lines of demarcation caused by overlapping lightener or repeated single-process applications. Requires a consultation to assess strand integrity before booking. Ranges from $195 to $320.
- Box Color Removal & Re-pigmentation — A multi-stage process that lifts artificial pigment deposited by at-home color, then re-pigments the hair before toning to a natural-looking result. Box color removal and re-pigmentation is a multi-stage service priced from $250 to $450 at Mint on the Avenue in Winter Park, FL.
- Over-Lifted Tone Correction — Corrects brassy, yellow, or uneven results from aggressive lightening. Combines targeted toning with an Aveda Botanical Repair bond-building treatment. Ranges from $165 to $280.
For clients with significant damage, we incorporate Aveda Damage Remedy conditioning steps between processing stages. For tone maintenance between visits, we recommend Aveda Color Renewal at checkout. Botanical Repair bond-building is available at every stage of the correction process.
How Long Does a Color Correction Appointment Take?
It depends entirely on the starting point and the goal. A single banding correction may take 2 to 3 hours. A full box color removal with re-pigmentation can run 4 to 6 hours, sometimes split across 2 sessions. We give you an honest time estimate at your consultation — not a number designed to get you in the door.

Common Questions About Color Correction at Mint on the Avenue
Do I need a consultation before booking a correction?
Yes, always. Color correction is the one service we will not book without a consultation first. We need to assess your hair’s current condition, review your color history, and discuss realistic outcomes before we commit to a plan or a price.
Can my hair be corrected in one session?
Sometimes, yes — but not always. When the hair has been heavily processed or when the color history is complex, attempting everything in one session can cause more damage than it resolves. We will tell you plainly what is achievable safely, and we will build a multi-visit plan if that is what the work requires.
What Aveda products do you use during a correction?
We draw from the full Aveda professional color portfolio and pair corrections with Botanical Repair bond-building treatments to protect hair integrity during the process. For clients with significant damage, we may also incorporate Damage Remedy conditioning steps between stages.
How should I care for my hair between correction appointments?
We typically recommend Aveda Botanical Repair shampoo and conditioner at home, along with Color Renewal gloss treatments to maintain tone between visits. Your stylist will give you a specific routine based on what your hair needs after the first session.
Do you correct color from other salons?
Yes. We do not require that your previous work was done at Mint on the Avenue. What we do require is an honest conversation about what was done, what products were used if you know them, and how your hair has responded. The more information you bring to the consultation, the better the outcome.
