What Is Color Melting?
Color melting is a seamless shade-blending technique that dissolves hard lines between tones and lets the result read as something your hair simply decided to do — not something applied to it. It sits in a quieter register than high-contrast color work, and that restraint is precisely what makes it difficult to do well.
- Color Melting
- A freehand blending technique that transitions two or more tones into one another without a visible boundary — achieved through careful saturation, timing, and placement rather than foils or a fixed formula.
- Aveda Plant-Based Color
- Aveda’s professional color line, formulated with up to 99% naturally derived ingredients, used exclusively on the Mint on the Avenue color floor for every tonal service including color melting, balayage, and color correction.
- Personal Consultation
- The structured conversation that opens every color appointment at Mint on the Avenue — used to assess hair history, clarify the goal, and confirm final pricing before any color is mixed.
How Does Color Melting Fit Into the Mint Color Menu?
The color floor at Mint on the Avenue is built around Aveda’s plant-based formulas and includes color melting, balayage, foilyage, full ombre, and color correction. Color melting occupies the tonal middle of that menu — more dimensional than a single-process refresh, less structural than a full foilyage. Appointments run roughly 180 minutes and begin with a personal consultation. Starting at $100.00, final pricing depends on your artist level, hair length, and the specific goal of your visit — the team confirms with you before anything is mixed.
Every service uses Aveda exclusively. As an Aveda Concept Salon, the team trains continuously on the line, which means the science behind your color is held to the same standard you would find at an Aveda institute.
