Ashley Martinez is a stylist at Mint on the Avenue who specializes in long-layer face-frame cuts and partial foil highlights for clients across Winter Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Mint on the Avenue is an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789, serving clients from Baldwin Park, Maitland, Audubon Park, and College Park. This past week, chair after chair, Ashley moved through a full slate of appointments with a steady rhythm — honest conversations, precise technique, and the particular satisfaction that comes from a haircut that lands exactly where it should.
- Long-Layer Face-Frame Cut
- A cut that removes weight without sacrificing length, pairing long layers with deliberate face framing to draw the eye toward the features and give the overall shape a softness that blunt cuts alone rarely achieve.
- Partial Foil Highlights
- A color service in which foils are placed strategically — following the natural movement of the hair — to add dimension without committing to a full color change. Tones range from warm honey to cooler, ashier blondes.
- Every-Other-Week Specials
- Ashley Martinez offers specials every other week at Mint on the Avenue. Ask for Ashley when you call or book to learn what is currently available.
What Is the Long-Layer Face-Frame Cut Ashley Martinez Offers?
The technique Ashley has been refining centers on a combination of long layers and deliberate face framing — a pairing that suits a wide range of hair types and reads especially well in natural light, the kind that filters through the oaks along Central Park on a clear Winter Park afternoon. Long layers remove weight without sacrificing length, allowing the hair to move rather than sit. The face frame works in concert with that movement, drawing the eye toward the features and giving the overall shape a softness that blunt cuts alone rarely achieve. For clients who have felt caught between wanting length and wanting shape, this cut offers a considered middle ground.
How Does Ashley Martinez Approach Partial Foil Highlights?
Partial foils are one of the most requested services at Mint on the Avenue, and Ashley’s approach to foil placement follows the natural movement of the hair — so the result looks less like a technique and more like the way light finds certain strands on its own. Ashley Martinez’s highlight work ranges in tone from warm honey to cooler, ashier blondes, calibrated to each client’s base color and the look they are after. Whether a client arrived from Baldwin Park or made the short drive down from Maitland, the goal was the same: color that looks effortless and wears well past the appointment.
What Made Ashley Martinez’s Week at Mint on the Avenue Stand Out?
A full book of returning and new clients, each arriving with a clear vision, gave Ashley the opportunity to refine her long-layer technique in real time across 2025 appointments that spanned a range of hair textures and color goals. Each cut informed the next. Each foil placement — a small decision in the moment — built toward a larger understanding of what the hair wants to do. The conversations moved from hair to life and back again, the best kind.

What Services Did Ashley Martinez Focus on This Week?
The week centered on two services: the long-layer face-frame cut and partial foil highlights. Together they represent a natural pairing — the cut establishes movement and shape, while the highlights add the dimension that makes that movement visible. Clients who came in for one often left curious about the other, and several booked follow-up appointments to explore both in the same session. Ashley Martinez offers specials every other week at Mint on the Avenue, so the timing can work in a client’s favor.
Why Does Repetition Sharpen a Stylist’s Craft?
There is something in the repetition of a good week that sharpens the work. Each cut informs the next. Each foil placement is a small decision that builds toward a larger understanding of what the hair wants to do. Ashley carries that forward — and the clients who sat in her chair this week carry it too, back to Audubon Park, College Park, and the neighborhoods that make up this corner of Central Florida. The craft does not reset at the end of the week; it compounds.
