How Does a Silk Press Fit Into the Hair Menu?
The coarse curly silk press sits within our thermal services — a category that rewards preparation. Before heat is applied, your artist reviews your curl pattern, density, and recent chemical history. Aveda Smooth Infusion is applied in stages: a pre-treatment phase, a blow-dry phase, and a flat-iron pass calibrated to your specific texture. The result is a press that lies flat without the stiffness that comes from over-processing. Because Mint on the Avenue is an Aveda Concept Salon, the team trains continuously on the science behind each formula — the standard here is the same you would find at an Aveda institute.
Related services on the menu include the Medium Curly Silk Press, the Medium Coily Silk Press, the Ladies Flat Iron, and the Split End Repair treatment — each priced and timed to the texture and goal of your visit.
