Color correction services at Mint on the Avenue start at $95 for a tone gloss and reach $450 or more for complex, multi-stage work — with every service priced transparently after a thorough consultation. Mint on the Avenue is a family-owned Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789, specializing in color correction for guests across Orlando and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Thornton Park 32801, Baldwin Park 32814, College Park 32804, and Audubon Park 32803. Our colorists approach each correction as a long-form project — not a single appointment — because hair that has been through a great deal deserves patient, methodical work.
What Is Color Correction and When Do You Need It?
Color correction is the process of returning hair to a place of intention after a previous color service — whether at home or in a salon — produced an unintended result. Whether a box dye went wrong, a prior appointment left uneven banding, or years of overlapping services have muddied the tone, correction work requires an honest assessment before a single bowl is mixed.
- Tone Correction
- Addresses unwanted warmth, brassiness, or grey cast in hair that is structurally sound. Performed using Aveda Color Renewal or a demi-permanent gloss. Starts at $95 at Mint on the Avenue.
- Single-Process Color Correction
- Addresses uneven application, root banding, or tone mismatch from a single prior color service. Includes a toning gloss and Aveda Botanical Repair finishing treatment. Starts at $175.
- Full Color Correction — Extended Service

We begin every correction with a thorough consultation — no surprises, no shortcuts. The goal is hair that looks considered, not rescued.
What Color Correction Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer?
Every correction is priced after a consultation, because the range of work involved varies considerably from guest to guest. The figures below reflect our general starting points for the most common correction scenarios. Complex cases — particularly those involving multiple prior chemical services — are quoted individually. We use Aveda color systems throughout, paired with Botanical Repair and Damage Remedy protocols to support the hair’s integrity at every stage.

How Long Does a Color Correction Appointment Take?
It depends entirely on the starting point. A simple tone correction may take 90 minutes. A full correction involving box dye removal or significant banding can require 4 to 6 hours — and in some cases, we will plan two or three separate appointments spaced weeks apart to protect the hair’s integrity. We will always recommend the timeline that produces the best long-term result, not the fastest one.
Do I Need a Consultation Before Booking a Color Correction?
Yes. We require a consultation for all color correction work before scheduling the service itself. This allows us to assess your color history, discuss realistic outcomes, and give you an accurate price — not an estimate that changes once you are in the chair. For Full Color Correction — Extended Service cases, the consultation is a paid appointment in its own right.
Can My Hair Be Corrected in a Single Appointment?
Sometimes, yes — particularly for tone corrections or mild banding. For more complex histories, we will be direct with you: attempting to reach your goal in one session may compromise the hair’s condition in ways that create larger problems. Box Dye Removal and Recolor, which starts at $325, is by definition a multi-stage process, and we will never compress that timeline in ways that put the hair at risk.
What Aveda Products Are Used During and After a Color Correction?
We use Aveda’s professional color system throughout the correction process. Depending on your hair’s condition, we integrate Aveda Botanical Repair, Damage Remedy, and Nutriplenish treatments to rebuild and hydrate the hair alongside the color work. For home care, we typically recommend Botanical Repair or Color Renewal to maintain results between appointments — and if dryness or porosity is a concern, Nutriplenish or Miraculous Oil can be incorporated into your daily routine. We will walk you through a specific regimen at the end of your appointment.
