Mint on the Avenue, an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL 32789, offers gloss and toner color services priced from $45 to $110 — semi-permanent treatments that add shine, neutralize brassiness, and extend color life without a full color appointment. Steps from Rollins College and Knowles Memorial Chapel, Mint on the Avenue performs every gloss and toner service with Aveda full-spectrum professional color, certified to 99% naturally derived ingredients, and preceded by a thorough consultation — because tone applied without context is tone misapplied.
What Does a Hair Gloss or Toner Actually Do?
Gloss and toner treatments are semi-permanent color services applied over existing hair to refine, refresh, or correct tone. A gloss adds translucent depth and mirror-like shine by sealing the cuticle; a toner neutralizes unwanted warmth or brassiness after a lightening service. Both work at the surface of the cuticle rather than deep within the cortex, making them a lower-commitment option for guests who want visible results without a full color appointment. For anyone moving through the 32789 corridor — from the Rollins College campus to the Saturday farmers market on New England Avenue — these are the appointments that keep color looking intentional between larger services.
- Clear Gloss
- A shine-enhancing treatment with no pigment. Seals the cuticle and amplifies natural tone on any hair color. No color correction — pure surface refinement.
- Toning Gloss
- A pigmented gloss applied after lightening services to neutralize unwanted warmth or deposit a soft, chosen tone at the cuticle level.
- Color Renewal Gloss
- Uses Aveda Color Renewal to refresh faded permanent color between full appointments, restoring vibrancy and depth without a full recolor.

How Long Does a Gloss or Toner Last?
Most semi-permanent glosses and toners last between four and six weeks, depending on your hair’s porosity, how often you shampoo, and the products you use at home. Aveda Color Renewal products can help extend results between appointments.
Can a Toner Damage My Hair?
Applied correctly, a toner causes no structural damage — it deposits color at the cuticle level rather than altering the cortex. Our colorists assess hair condition before every application, and we offer Aveda Botanical Repair add-ons for guests with compromised hair.
Do I Need a Full Color Appointment First?
Not necessarily. A clear gloss can be applied to any hair color at any time. A toning gloss is most commonly applied after a lightening or bleaching service, but it can also refresh faded permanent color on its own.
What Aveda Products Should I Use at Home to Maintain My Gloss?
We generally recommend Aveda Color Renewal shampoo and conditioner for toned hair, along with Miraculous Oil for daily shine maintenance. Your colorist will make specific recommendations based on your hair type and the tone applied.
Is a Gloss the Same as a Glaze?
The terms are often used interchangeably in the industry, though formulations vary by brand. At Mint on the Avenue, we use Aveda professional color exclusively, and our team will explain exactly what is being applied and why during your consultation.
