- Partial Highlights
- Strategic foil placement around the face and crown — ideal for low-maintenance dimension or first-time color clients. Priced $95–$145.
- Full Highlights
- Comprehensive foil placement from root to mid-shaft, building depth and movement throughout the entire head. Priced $155–$230.
- Balayage & Hand-Painted Highlights
- A freehand technique that mimics the gradual lightening of sun exposure — softer regrowth lines, longer intervals between appointments. Priced $175–$275.
- Highlight with Toner
- Foil or balayage work finished with an Aveda toner to refine tone, neutralize brassiness, and unify the overall palette. Priced $195–$295.
- Color Refresh & Gloss
- A standalone Aveda gloss or Color Renewal treatment to revive existing highlights between full appointments. Priced $55–$85.
Post-color treatments available at every appointment include Aveda Botanical Repair — for strand strength — and Damage Remedy, formulated for compromised strands. Both are discussed during the consultation and recommended based on your hair’s current condition.
What Makes Mint’s Highlight Approach Different?
Color work at Mint on the Avenue begins with a thorough consultation — a quiet, considered conversation about your history with color, your maintenance preferences, and the life your hair actually lives. Our colorists draw on Aveda’s full professional palette, formulated with up to 93% naturally derived ingredients, to build highlights that feel intentional rather than applied. We do not double-book colorists during color services — a deliberate choice that keeps the work precise and the appointment unhurried.
The result holds its integrity through Florida humidity and grows out without a hard line, so the light simply appears to have found you. Aveda Botanical Repair and Damage Remedy treatments are available at the close of every color appointment, selected in conversation with your colorist based on what your strands actually need.
Why Do College Park Guests Choose Mint on the Avenue?
College Park 32804 is a neighborhood that values the particular over the generic — independent bookshops, deliberate architecture, restaurants worth a reservation. Guests who live along those tree-lined streets tend to bring the same sensibility to their hair. Mint on the Avenue, at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, is approximately 15 minutes east — a considered alternative to the volume-focused salons that populate larger corridors.

How Long Does a Full Highlight Appointment Take?
A full foil highlight typically runs 120 to 180 minutes, depending on hair density and length. We build in time for a thorough consultation and a finishing treatment — Aveda Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy as appropriate — so please plan for the full duration. Balayage appointments follow a similar timeline, though the freehand technique may require additional time for very long or dense hair.
What Is the Difference Between Foil Highlights and Balayage?
Foil highlights use sectioned placement for precise, consistent lightening throughout the hair. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates a softer, more graduated result — generally with less visible regrowth over time. Balayage and hand-painted highlights can typically go 12 to 16 weeks between appointments; traditional foil highlights with a defined root generally require a visit every 6 to 10 weeks. Your colorist will discuss which approach suits your hair and your schedule during the consultation.

The Winter Park SunRail station is also within walking distance for guests who prefer to take the train from points south.
