- Color Consultation
- A complimentary, approximately 15-minute conversation with your stylist. You review reference photos together, discuss timeline and budget, and leave with a written color plan. No color is mixed, no appointment is required beforehand.
- Strand Test
- A pre-service assessment performed when a significant color change or chemical overlap warrants it — used to predict how the hair will respond before a full application begins.
- Written Color Plan
- A brief document your stylist prepares at the close of the consult, outlining the recommended service sequence, estimated sessions, and approximate investment — so you can plan your calendar and budget before committing.
What Is a Color Consult at Mint on the Avenue?
A color consult at Mint on the Avenue is a complimentary, no-pressure conversation between you and your stylist — approximately 15 minutes at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789. You bring photos. Your stylist brings an honest read of your current hair, your timeline, and what the Aveda color formulas can realistically achieve. When it matters, a strand test is performed on-site. You leave with a written plan and a clear sense of what the process looks like before any color is mixed.
The consult sits at the front of every significant color transformation at Mint — balayage, full color corrections, first-time lightening services, and any transition that spans multiple sessions. It is not a sales conversation. It is a planning one.
How Does a Color Consult Fit Into the Process?
Every color transformation at Mint on the Avenue begins with the consult, not the color. Once the written plan is in hand, your stylist books the appropriate service — whether that is a single appointment or a sequence of sessions spread across several weeks. Guests who arrive at the color chair having already completed a consult move through their service with less guesswork and more confidence on both sides of the chair.
Aveda’s plant-based, cruelty-free formulas are the constant throughout. As an Aveda Concept Salon, the team at Mint trains continuously on the line — the science behind every service meets the same standard you would find at an Aveda institute. Relevant lines include Botanical Repair for post-color strength, Color Renewal for tone maintenance between appointments, and Damage Remedy for hair that has seen significant chemical history.
