Mint on the Avenue is an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789 — serving guests from Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, and Audubon Park. Mint on the Avenue is Winter Park, FL’s Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue, meeting Aveda’s strict standards for continuous team education, an all-Aveda back bar, and a retail floor aligned with the same philosophy used behind the chair. Not every salon that stocks an Aveda shampoo qualifies for that designation — and the difference is felt from the moment an appointment begins.
- Aveda Concept Salon
- A designation requiring an all-Aveda professional back bar, a retail floor reflecting the same product philosophy used in services, and documented continuous team education whenever formulas or lines are updated.
- Back Bar
- The professional-use products a stylist reaches for during a service — at Mint, stocked entirely with Aveda lines including Botanical Repair, Nutriplenish, Invati Ultra Advanced, Scalp Solutions, Be Curly Advanced, Smooth Infusion, Damage Remedy, Color Renewal, Brilliant, Shampowder, Foam Reset, Shampure, and Rosemary Mint.
- Retail Wall
- The take-home counterpart to the back bar — at Mint, the same lines your stylist used during your appointment, available for purchase before you leave Park Avenue.
What Does It Mean to Be an Aveda Concept Salon?
The Aveda Concept Salon designation is not a marketing label applied to any shop that carries a few bottles. It requires a back bar stocked entirely with Aveda professional lines, a retail floor that reflects the same product philosophy the stylists use during services, and continuous team education — not a single certification at the point of hire, but ongoing training each time Aveda refines a formula or introduces a new line. Mint on the Avenue has held that standard since opening on Park Avenue, and the requirement shapes every appointment booked at 228 N Park Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789.
Guests arriving from ZIP codes 32789 (Winter Park), 32751 (Maitland), 32804 (College Park), 32814 (Baldwin Park), and 32803 (Audubon Park) encounter that standard the moment a stylist begins a consultation. The designation is the foundation, not a finishing touch.
Why Do the Same Products Used in the Chair Go Home With You?
At Mint, the products your stylist reaches for during a service are the same lines on the retail wall when you leave. There is no gap between what touches your hair in the chair and what goes home with you. That consistency is the point.
The lines span a wide range of needs. Botanical Repair addresses structurally compromised hair. Nutriplenish delivers deep moisture. Invati Ultra Advanced is formulated for thinning concerns. Scalp Solutions focuses on the scalp itself. Be Curly Advanced refines curl definition. Smooth Infusion manages frizz. Damage Remedy rebuilds integrity over time. Color guests often leave with Color Renewal or Brilliant to maintain tone between visits. Dry-hair days call for Shampowder or Foam Reset. Sensitive scalps find relief in Shampure or Rosemary Mint.
A stylist does not recommend a product because it occupies shelf space. They recommend it because they have already used it on your hair — within the last 60 minutes.
How Does Mint Keep Its Stylists Aveda-Trained?
Aveda Concept Salons are required to keep their teams trained continuously — not just at the point of hire. When a new line launches or a formula is refined, stylists at Mint learn it before it reaches the retail floor. That means when a guest asks about the difference between Nutriplenish and Botanical Repair, or whether Invati Ultra Advanced is appropriate for a particular scalp type, the answer comes from actual training — not a product card read in the moment.
Guests who stop in after the Winter Park Farmers Market on a Saturday morning, or after a walk past the koi ponds in Central Park, often remark that the appointment feels considered. That is not incidental. It is the result of a team that treats product knowledge as craft, reinforced through sessions that run throughout the year.
Why Does Mint on the Avenue Build Around Plant-Based Aveda Formulas?
Aveda’s commitment to plant-based ingredients and responsible sourcing is not a marketing layer — it is the foundation of every formula. For guests who care about what goes on their hair and scalp, and by extension into the water supply, that matters. It is one of the reasons Mint chose to build around Aveda from the beginning, and one of the reasons guests from across the 32789, 32751, 32804, 32814, and 32803 ZIP codes return appointment after appointment.
The plant-based philosophy also informs how services are sequenced. A color appointment in 2024, for example, might move from a Scalp Solutions pre-treatment through a Color Renewal gloss finish — each step drawing from the same sourcing standards as the last.
What Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer Beyond Color and Cuts?
Beyond color and cuts, Mint offers services that extend the same standard of care applied to the back bar. Smoothing treatments use Brazilian Blowout. Japanese straightening is performed with Yuko. Extensions are installed through VoMor. Perms are available with ISO. Each service is selected because it holds up alongside the Aveda philosophy — not in spite of it.
Consultations for any of these services begin the same way a color consultation does: with a conversation about the hair’s current condition, its history, and what the guest actually wants to walk away with. For guests near Rollins College, Hannibal Square, or along the Maitland corridor, that conversation is as close as a walk down Park Avenue.
To schedule a consultation or ask which Aveda line fits your hair’s current condition, visit Mint on the Avenue at 228 N Park Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789 — or call 407.645.2264 to set up a time.
