Aveda plant-based products are formulas built from 90% or more botanicals, essential oils, and plant-derived actives — not a synthetic base dressed up with natural marketing. Mint on the Avenue, an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL, carries the full Aveda line because the system is coherent from backbar to retail wall. Mint on the Avenue is located at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789 — across from Central Park’s koi ponds and a short walk from the Morse Museum of American Art — serving guests from Maitland, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, College Park, Lake Mary, and beyond.
How Is Aveda’s Plant-Based Formula Different?
Most haircare begins with a synthetic base and works backward toward something that feels natural. Aveda begins the other way around. Botanicals, essential oils, and plant-derived actives account for 90% or more of every formula. The remaining percentage exists only where no plant-based alternative yet performs to standard. That distinction matters, and it shows up in the chair.
- Botanical Repair
- A bond-building system that addresses damage at the structural level, using plant-based actives rather than synthetic bonding agents. Available at the backbar and on the retail wall.
- Smooth Infusion
- Frizz management without silicone, built around a plant-based anti-humectant that works in Florida’s particular brand of summer humidity. No silicone. No synthetic coating.
- Shampure
- Aveda’s original scent, composed of 25 pure flower and plant essences — still the quietest, most considered thing in the room.
Which Aveda Lines Does Mint on the Avenue Carry?
The retail wall at 228 N Park Avenue is not a gift shop. It is a continuation of the service. When your stylist reaches for a formula at the backbar, that same product is available on the wall before you leave. The following lines are stocked as of 2024:
- Nutriplenish — deep moisture for dry, thirsty hair, available in light and rich weights depending on your texture.
- Invati Ultra Advanced — a targeted system for thinning hair, addressing density and scalp circulation with plant-derived actives.
- Scalp Solutions — addresses buildup, sensitivity, and balance before they become visible problems.
- Smooth Infusion — frizz management without silicone, built around a plant-based anti-humectant.
- Miraculous Oil — a finishing oil drawn from a blend of plant oils rather than petroleum derivatives; adds weight and shine without heaviness.
- Shampure — 25 pure flower and plant essences, Aveda’s original scent.
- Botanical Repair — bond-building treatment for damaged or chemically processed hair.
- Be Curly Advanced — curl definition and humidity resistance for wave and curl patterns.
- Damage Remedy — intensive reconstruction for hair that has moved past surface damage.
- Pure Abundance — volume and texture for fine hair without synthetic buildup.
- Rosemary Mint — a scalp-stimulating line with a clean, herbal profile.
- Cherry Almond — softness and shine for normal to dry hair.
- Color Renewal — toning shampoos and conditioners that maintain color between appointments.
- Foam Reset and Shampowder — waterless cleansing options for between-wash days.
- Stress Fix, Petal Essence, and Chakra — aromatic lines grounded in Aveda’s wellness philosophy.
- Brilliant — smoothing and shine for coarser or resistant textures.
Seasonal gift collections, when they arrive, are built around the same plant-based formulas and packaged with the same intention. Quantities are always limited; we announce new arrivals through our channels when they land.
How Sustainable Is Aveda’s Packaging?
Aveda’s packaging is made predominantly from post-consumer recycled materials, and manufacturing runs on renewable energy. For guests who think carefully about what comes into their homes — and many who walk Park Avenue do — that provenance is part of the decision. The bottles, the tubes, the boxes: most are made with reclaimed material. This is not a marketing footnote. It is the operating standard.
Can I Buy the Same Products My Stylist Uses?
Yes. The shampoo your stylist reaches for during your service at Mint on the Avenue is the same formula available on the retail wall. There is no gap between the professional experience and what you take home to Maitland, Baldwin Park, or wherever your morning routine lives. The difference between a salon result that lasts and one that fades by Thursday is almost always maintenance — not because clients are careless, but because the products used at home are working against the products used in the chair. Aveda’s system is designed to be consistent across both environments. A single 60-minute appointment is enough time to walk through which lines belong in your routine before you leave.
