- Partial Foil Highlights
- Foils placed at the crown and face frame for targeted brightness without a full-head commitment. Ideal for first-time color clients or those maintaining an existing look. ($95–$135)
- Full Foil Highlights
- Comprehensive foil placement throughout the entire head for maximum lift and uniform dimension. Best suited to clients seeking a significant color change. ($155–$215)
- Balayage & Hand-Painted Color
- A freehand technique that deposits color in a gradient, mimicking the way sun naturally lightens hair. Grow-out is gradual and flattering — lower maintenance than traditional foils. ($175–$260)
What Should You Know Before Getting Highlights?
A highlight appointment at Mint on the Avenue begins with a thorough consultation — no foil is placed before your colorist has considered your base color, your natural growth pattern, and the light conditions of your actual life. If your hair has been previously box-colored or chemically treated, that history shapes the approach. Honesty about prior services allows us to give you an accurate result and a realistic timeline, rather than a vague reassurance.
Partial highlights typically run 90 minutes to two hours. A full foil or balayage service, particularly if toning is included, can take two and a half to three hours — occasionally longer for significant color changes. We build in time for a thorough consultation at the start of every color appointment.
What Highlight Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer?
The color menu at Mint on the Avenue is structured to meet you where your hair is — whether that means a single-process refresh, a full foil transformation, or a targeted brightening around the face. A precise estimate is always provided at consultation, before any commitment is made.
- Face-Framing Highlights
- A focused brightening service confined to the pieces that frame the face. An efficient way to refresh the overall impression of your color between full appointments. ($75–$110)
- Toning & Gloss
- An Aveda color gloss applied after lightening to neutralize unwanted warmth or brassiness and seal the cuticle with reflective shine. Often paired with any of the above services. ($45–$75)
Why Does Mint on the Avenue Use Aveda Color?
Aveda’s professional color line is formulated with up to 93 percent naturally derived ingredients, and the lightening systems are engineered to minimize damage while still achieving reliable lift. For clients who use Aveda’s Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy lines at home, the salon and at-home chemistry work in concert rather than in conflict. As an Aveda Concept Salon, Mint on the Avenue carries the full professional color range alongside the retail products that extend your color’s life between visits. Miraculous Oil and Brilliant finishing treatments close out color appointments and add a reflective finish that reads well whether you are walking along Park Avenue or sitting in a seminar room near Rollins College and Knowles Memorial Chapel.
How Do I Maintain Highlights Between Appointments?
We recommend Aveda’s Color Renewal shampoo and conditioner to keep tone fresh, and Botanical Repair or Damage Remedy to preserve the integrity of lightened strands. Miraculous Oil used sparingly on dry ends helps maintain the reflective finish you leave with. Traditional foils typically require a refresh every six to eight weeks. Balayage, because of its softer grow-out, can stretch to twelve or even sixteen weeks for many clients — your colorist will give you a realistic maintenance schedule at the end of your appointment.
