Color Correction · College Park & Winter Park
Returning your hair to exactly where it belongs
Color correction is quiet, methodical work — the kind that requires a clear diagnosis before a single formula is mixed. At Mint on the Avenue, our colorists take the time to understand your hair's full history before mapping a path forward.
When Color Goes Wrong, the Fix Requires a Plan
Whether the damage came from a box kit, a rushed appointment, or years of layered decisions that no longer serve you, color correction begins with an honest conversation. Our colorists at Mint on the Avenue assess porosity, underlying pigment, and structural integrity before recommending a course of action. For guests traveling from College Park and the Edgewater Drive corridor through 32804, we are a straightforward drive east on Par Street — a calm, unhurried salon on Park Avenue in Winter Park. Correction is rarely a single appointment, and we will tell you that plainly from the start.
- Thorough in-person consultation before any chemical service
- Strand testing available for compromised or previously over-processed hair
- Honest timelines — some corrections span two or three visits
- Aveda color systems used throughout every stage of correction

Why Mint on the Avenue for Color Correction
Color correction demands a colorist who reads hair the way a good editor reads a manuscript — looking for what is actually there, not what should have been there. Our team works exclusively with Aveda color systems, which means every corrective formula draws on plant-based pigment technology designed to work with the hair's natural structure rather than against it. We do not rush consultations, and we do not promise outcomes we cannot deliver. For guests who have driven down Edgewater Drive or across the 32804 zip code looking for someone to finally get this right, that measured approach is the point.
- Aveda-trained colorists with advanced corrective technique
- Botanical Repair treatments integrated into corrective appointments
- No overselling — you receive a realistic assessment, not a sales pitch
- Conveniently located at 228 N Park Avenue, minutes from College Park

Color Correction — Questions We Hear Most Often
These are the questions our colorists answer most frequently during consultations. If yours is not here, call us at 407.645.2264 or text 830.390.0226 — we are happy to talk through your situation before you book.
-
How long does a color correction appointment take?
It depends on the starting point, but most corrective appointments run between three and six hours. Complex cases — particularly those involving multiple layers of artificial color or significant damage — are often spread across two or more visits to protect the hair's structural integrity.
-
Can my hair handle color correction if it is already damaged?
Sometimes, and sometimes not right away. During your consultation, we assess porosity and tensile strength honestly. If the hair needs a period of Aveda Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy conditioning before any chemical work, we will say so — that recommendation is in your hair's long-term interest.
-
Why is color correction more expensive than a regular color service?
Corrective work requires significantly more time, more product, and a higher level of technical skill than a standard color appointment. Pricing reflects the actual hours and materials involved, not a premium for the word 'correction.'
-
Will my hair look perfect after one correction appointment?
In many cases, yes — but not always. We will give you an honest projection at your consultation. Severely over-processed or multiply-colored hair often reaches its best result through a planned series of appointments rather than one aggressive session.
-
Do you use Aveda color for corrections?
Yes. All color services at Mint on the Avenue use Aveda's professional color systems. The plant-based formulas are gentler on already-stressed hair and allow for precise tonal work at every stage of the corrective process.
-
How do I prepare for my color correction consultation?
Come with your hair in its natural state — no heavy product, no fresh blowout. Bring photos of your current color, your target color, and any previous services you can recall. The more history you can share, the more accurate our plan will be.
