- Balayage
- A hand-painted, free-tone lightening technique that creates soft regrowth and lived-in dimension — finished with a glaze that draws the whole head into a single tonal family. At Mint on the Avenue, balayage starts at $180.00 and is designed for six-to-ten-week intervals between visits.
- Finish Glaze
- A toning step applied after lightening to unify tone across the entire head. At Mint, glazes are formulated with Aveda color chemistry — plant-based, cruelty-free, and mixed to the specific undertone of your hair.
- Senior-Led Consultation
- A structured pre-service conversation with a senior artist to map regrowth, assess existing color, and confirm the visit goal before any formula is mixed. Final pricing is confirmed at this stage, before work begins.
What is balayage — and how does Mint on the Avenue approach it?
Balayage is a freehand painting technique — no foils, no uniform sections — that places lightness where the sun would naturally find it. At Mint on the Avenue, the approach is editorial rather than formulaic: the artist reads the existing tone, maps the regrowth line, and builds dimension that grows out rather than grows in. The finish glaze is not optional; it is the step that resolves the whole head into a coherent tonal family. Plan on approximately 210 minutes for a full balayage appointment. Starting price is $180.00 — final cost depends on artist level, hair length, and the complexity of the goal confirmed at consultation.
What color services does Mint on the Avenue offer alongside balayage?
Balayage sits within a broader color menu that includes full foilyage, enlighten-and-tone sessions, root touch-up, and multi-session color correction. All services use Aveda color chemistry — the same plant-based, cruelty-free formulas the line trains on at the institute level. As an Aveda Concept Salon, the team at Mint on the Avenue completes continuous education on the Aveda line, so the standard behind every formula is consistent regardless of service type.
