What Makes Highlights at Mint on the Avenue Different?
Color at Mint on the Avenue begins as a conversation — between your hair, the Florida light, and a colorist who takes both seriously. Before a single foil is placed, your stylist reads your hair alongside your lifestyle and maintenance preferences. Aveda professional color guides every formula, with ammonia-free options available for guests who prefer a gentler approach. All highlight services include a complimentary Aveda Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy finishing treatment to close the cuticle and protect the integrity of your color investment.
- Aveda Botanical Repair
- A bond-building treatment that reinforces hair structure from within, applied after highlighting to restore strength and seal the cuticle.
- Damage Remedy
- An Aveda reconstructing treatment formulated to replenish protein and resilience in chemically treated or compromised hair.
- Balayage with Highlights
- A hybrid technique combining freehand painted sections with traditional foil placements for multidimensional, sun-touched dimension that grows out gracefully.
What Highlight Services Are Available — and What Do They Cost?
The highlight menu at Mint on the Avenue is built around placement and hair length, not a number pulled from thin air. Every service includes a complimentary Aveda Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy finishing treatment and a complimentary color consultation.
- Face-Framing Highlights ($95–$130)
- Strategically placed pieces around the hairline and face to brighten without a full-head commitment. Ideal for low-maintenance guests. Typically completed in 90 minutes to two hours.
- Partial Highlights ($145–$195)

How Often Do Highlights Need to Be Refreshed?
Most guests return every eight to twelve weeks for maintenance. Face-framing or partial placements can often extend to fourteen weeks without looking grown-out, particularly when a gloss or toner add-on is included. Your colorist will recommend a schedule during the complimentary consultation at your first visit.
Does Mint on the Avenue Work with Previously Colored or Chemically Treated Hair?
Yes, in most cases — though your stylist will assess your hair’s current condition during the consultation. Guests with recent chemical services such as Yuko Japanese straightening or Brazilian Blowout smoothing may need a modified approach or a brief waiting period. Honest assessment is part of every appointment; no service is recommended that cannot be supported by the hair’s current integrity.
What Is the Difference Between Highlights and Balayage?
Traditional highlights use foils to lift color in precise sections from root to end. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates softer, more diffused results. Many guests benefit from a combination of both — the hybrid balayage-with-highlights service at Mint on the Avenue, priced from $240 to $340, is among the most requested on the menu. Your colorist will recommend what suits your hair and goals during the consultation.
