Gloss & Toner · Winter Park, FL
Color that settles quietly into its best self
A gloss or toner is not a dramatic gesture — it is a refinement, a way of bringing your color back to exactly what it was meant to be. At Mint on the Avenue on Park Avenue in Winter Park, our colorists use Aveda's plant-based demi-permanent and clear gloss technology to deliver results that look considered rather than processed.
What a Gloss or Toner Actually Does
Glossing deposits a thin, luminous layer of tone onto the hair shaft, sealing the cuticle and amplifying shine in the same step. Toning targets unwanted warmth or brassiness — the orange that surfaces between highlights, the yellow that creeps into platinum — and neutralizes it with precision. Neither service requires a full color commitment, which makes both ideal for maintenance appointments between larger color services. At Mint on the Avenue in Winter Park 32789, we assess your current color, your water exposure, and your styling habits before recommending which formula will serve you best.
- Seals the cuticle for measurable shine improvement
- Neutralizes brassiness and unwanted warmth

Gloss & Toner Menu at Mint on the Avenue
Pricing reflects the complexity of the service and the amount of product required. A standalone clear gloss on short to mid-length hair is a brief appointment; a full toning pass on long, previously highlighted hair takes considerably more time and formula. We price honestly and quote before we begin.

Why Aveda Demi-Permanent Formulas
Aveda's demi-permanent color technology is built on a foundation of plant-derived ingredients — including certified organic ingredients — and uses significantly lower developer levels than permanent color. The result is a service that conditions as it colors, leaving hair softer and more manageable than it was before the appointment. Aveda's commitment to responsible sourcing and manufacturing means the formulas we use at Mint on the Avenue align with values that matter to the Winter Park community. For guests managing color-treated or fine hair, demi-permanent gloss is often the most intelligent choice on the menu.
- Lower developer levels than permanent color
- Conditions the hair during the toning process
- Fades gradually — no harsh lines of demarcation
- Compatible with Botanical Repair and Nutriplenish regimens
- Aveda's responsible manufacturing standards
A Color Appointment Worth the Walk Down Park Avenue
Mint on the Avenue sits at 228 N Park Avenue, directly in the heart of Winter Park 32789 — a short walk from the koi ponds at Central Park and the quiet weekend rhythm of the Winter Park Farmers Market. Guests arrive from Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, and Audubon Park for appointments that feel unhurried. Park Avenue rewards the kind of errand that takes its time: a gloss service, a browse through Briar Patch Books, a late lunch at Prato. We fit that pace naturally.
Gloss & Toner — Questions We Hear Often
The most common uncertainty around glossing is whether it will change the color dramatically. The short answer is that it can, or it can simply refine — the formula determines the outcome, and that conversation happens before anything is applied.
-
How long does a gloss or toner last?
A demi-permanent gloss typically lasts four to six weeks with regular shampooing. Using a sulfate-free shampoo — such as Aveda's Shampure or Nutriplenish line — extends the result noticeably.
-
Will a toner make my hair a noticeably different color?
A toner shifts tone rather than base level. It will not lighten your hair, but it can cool, warm, or neutralize what is already there. Your colorist will show you the target shade before application.
-
Can I get a gloss if I have never colored my hair?
Absolutely. A clear gloss on natural hair adds remarkable shine without altering your color. A toned gloss can add subtle warmth or depth to natural hair as well.
-
How is a gloss different from a glaze or a shine treatment?
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the industry. At Mint on the Avenue, a gloss refers specifically to an Aveda demi-permanent formula that deposits tone and seals the cuticle — it is a color service, not a topical coating.
-
Do I need to do anything to prepare for a gloss appointment?
Come in with clean hair — no dry shampoo or heavy styling products. If you have a reference photo of your ideal tone, bring it. The appointment itself is brief, so there is very little preparation required on your end.
-
Can a gloss help with color that has gone brassy after sun exposure?
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons guests in Winter Park book a toning gloss. Florida sun accelerates warmth in lightened hair, and a violet- or blue-based toner corrects that shift efficiently.
