Why Does Color Correction Start With a Consultation?
Clients arrive from College Park, from the quiet streets off Edgewater Drive, from Baldwin Park and Audubon Park, each carrying a different history. Some carry overlapping box color; others carry a previous salon’s miscalculation. Before any correction begins at Mint on the Avenue, we sit together — no timer running — and talk through what happened, what you want, and what the hair can realistically achieve in a single visit. That honesty is the foundation of every result we stand behind.
- Strand testing before any chemical application
- Written color history review at consultation
- Realistic timeline set before you commit
- Aveda Botanical Repair protocol available throughout correction
What Color Correction Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer?
Every correction service is priced as a starting point. Because no two histories are identical, the final investment is confirmed at consultation — never at the shampoo bowl. All services are performed using Aveda professional color and finished with Aveda Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy conditioning to close the cuticle and restore elasticity lost during the correction process.

How Far Is Mint on the Avenue From College Park and Audubon Park?
College Park 32804 sits just west of Interstate 4, and the drive from Edgewater Drive to our Park Avenue address takes under fifteen minutes — less on a quiet Saturday morning before the Winter Park Farmers Market fills the block. We also see clients regularly from Maitland 32751, Baldwin Park 32814, and Lake Mary 32746, many of whom combine their appointment with a walk past the Morse Museum of American Art or a late lunch at Prato. The SunRail station a few blocks away makes the trip straightforward for those who prefer to leave the car at home.
Color Correction — Questions We Hear Often
The questions below reflect real conversations from our consultation chair. If yours is not here, call us at 407.645.2264 or text 830.390.0226 and we will answer before you ever make the drive from College Park or anywhere else in the 32804 area.
How long does a full color correction take?
It depends entirely on your color history. A single-process correction may take 2 to 3 hours. A multi-layered box color removal or banding correction can require a full day or be staged across 2 sessions or more. We set that expectation at consultation so there are no surprises.
Will color correction damage my hair?
Any chemical process carries some degree of stress. What separates a responsible correction from a damaging one is the pace, the strand testing beforehand, and the conditioning protocol used throughout. We incorporate Aveda Botanical Repair and Damage Remedy at every stage to support the hair’s structural integrity.
Can you fix box color in one visit?
Sometimes, but not always. Box color — particularly dark or repeated applications — often contains metallic compounds that react unpredictably with professional formulas. A strand test tells us how the hair will behave. We will never promise a single-visit result we cannot confidently deliver.
Do I need a consultation before booking a correction appointment?
Yes. A consultation is required for all color correction services. It protects your hair and ensures we have the time, products, and staffing to complete the work properly. You can book a consultation by calling 407.645.2264 or texting 830.390.0226.
What Aveda products will you use during my correction?
The specific Aveda professional color formulas depend on your starting point and target result. For conditioning and repair, we most commonly incorporate Aveda Botanical Repair and Damage Remedy. Your colorist will walk you through the full protocol at consultation.
How should I care for my hair between correction appointments?
We typically recommend Aveda Damage Remedy or Botanical Repair shampoo and conditioner at home, along with weekly intensive treatments. We build a specific take-home plan for you at the end of your appointment — one that accounts for your hair’s current condition and the next stage of correction ahead.
