Mint on the Avenue is an Aveda Concept Salon in Winter Park, FL — a designation that requires more than stocking a few Aveda products on a retail shelf. It means a committed back bar, certified stylists, and alignment with Aveda’s ingredient and environmental standards across every service. Not every salon on Park Avenue qualifies, and the difference tends to show in how hair responds over time.
A Designation With Standards Behind It
Not every salon that carries an Aveda product or two qualifies as an Aveda Concept Salon. The designation requires a committed back bar — meaning every service, from a simple gloss to a full color correction, runs through the Aveda system — along with ongoing education, certified stylists, and alignment with Aveda’s environmental and ingredient standards. At Mint on the Avenue, that commitment has been in place since the first chair was set on Park Avenue.
It is a quieter kind of credential. You will not see it announced on a sandwich board. But guests who have sat in our chairs and then compared the experience elsewhere tend to notice the difference in how their hair responds over time.
The Back Bar, Line by Line
An Aveda Concept Salon is only as strong as its working knowledge of the full system. Our team trains across every line we use behind the chair — not just the crowd favorites.
- Botanical Repair — bond-building technology for chemically processed or heat-damaged hair, used before and after color services
- Invati Ultra Advanced — scalp-focused protocol for guests noticing thinning or reduced density, paired with our Scalp Solutions work
- Nutriplenish — deep moisture for dry, coarse, or low-porosity hair that needs weight and softness
- Be Curly Advanced — curl-specific formulas that work with the hair’s natural pattern rather than against it
- Smooth Infusion — frizz management without silicone coating, often layered with our Brazilian Blowout services for guests who want longer-lasting smoothness
- Damage Remedy — restructuring treatment for hair that has moved past dryness into breakage
- Scalp Solutions — a dedicated line addressing buildup, sensitivity, and scalp imbalance as the foundation of healthy growth
The retail wall reflects the same thinking. What sits on our shelves is what your stylist uses at the basin — not a separate retail line, not a compromise. The continuity between the service and the take-home product is part of what the Concept Salon model is built around.
Color That Stays Within the System
Aveda’s color technology is plant-derived and low-odor — a meaningful distinction for guests who have found conventional color services difficult to tolerate. Our color work, whether a single-process, a full highlight, or a toning gloss, is formulated within the Aveda system from start to finish. The Foam Reset and Color Renewal lines extend that work between appointments, keeping tone accurate without requiring a return visit every few weeks.
The Pace of Park Avenue
Mint on the Avenue sits at 228 N Park Avenue, a short walk from the Morse Museum of American Art and around the corner from the Winter Park Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Guests come from Baldwin Park, College Park, Maitland, Audubon Park, and as far as Lake Mary — some arriving by SunRail, which stops a few blocks away. The neighborhood sets a tone that suits the way we work: unhurried, specific, attentive.
An Aveda Concept Salon is not a franchise model or a chain. It is a small team that has made a deliberate choice about how to practice. That is what you will find on Park Avenue.
