Mint on the Avenue is Winter Park’s Aveda Concept Salon on Park Avenue — and the designation carries real requirements. Not every salon that stocks an Aveda shampoo qualifies. The standard demands continuous team education, a back bar stocked entirely with Aveda professional lines, and a retail floor that reflects the same philosophy used behind the chair. For guests arriving from Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, or Audubon Park, that distinction shapes the appointment before it even begins.
A Designation With Standards Behind It
Not every salon that carries an Aveda shampoo qualifies as an Aveda Concept Salon. The designation requires ongoing education, a back bar stocked entirely with Aveda professional lines, and a retail floor that reflects the same philosophy the stylists use behind the chair. Mint on the Avenue has held that standard since the day we opened on Park Avenue — and we take it seriously.
For guests coming in from Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, or Audubon Park, that distinction shapes the appointment before it even begins.
The Back Bar and the Retail Wall Are the Same Conversation
At Mint, the products your stylist reaches for during your service are the same lines available 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 we work with span a wide range of needs — Botanical Repair for structurally compromised hair, Nutriplenish for deep moisture, Invati Ultra Advanced for thinning concerns, Scalp Solutions for the scalp itself, Be Curly Advanced for curl definition, Smooth Infusion for frizz management, and Damage Remedy for rebuilding 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.
Your stylist does not recommend a product because it is on a shelf. They recommend it because they have already used it on your hair.
Education Is Ongoing, Not a One-Time Certification
Aveda Concept Salons are required to keep their teams trained — not just at the point of hire, but continuously. When a new line launches or a formula is refined, our stylists learn it before it reaches the retail floor. That means when you ask about the difference between Nutriplenish and Botanical Repair, or whether Invati Ultra Advanced is appropriate for your scalp type, the answer comes from actual training — not a product card.
Guests who have visited us after stopping at the Winter Park Farmers Market on a Saturday morning, or after a walk past the koi ponds in Central Park, often mention that the appointment feels considered. That is not incidental. It is the result of a team that treats product knowledge as craft.
Plant-Based Formulas, Thoughtfully Sourced
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 the 32789, 32751, 32804, 32814, and 32803 ZIP codes return.
Services Built Around the Same Philosophy
Beyond color and cuts, Mint offers services that extend the Aveda approach — smoothing treatments with Brazilian Blowout, Japanese straightening with Yuko, extensions through VoMor, and perms with ISO. Each service is selected because it holds up to the same standard of care we apply to the back bar.
If you have questions about which Aveda line fits your hair’s current condition, or want to understand what a consultation at Mint actually looks like, the straightforward way to find out is to come in.
