What Makes Highlights at Mint on the Avenue Different?

Color work at Mint on the Avenue begins with a thorough consultation — not a rushed glance at a swatch book.

Guests from Hannibal Square, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, and College Park find that this measured approach produces results that grow out gracefully rather than demanding constant correction. The goal is color that reads as yours.

Common Questions About Highlights at Mint on the Avenue

Color decisions carry real stakes — your time, your budget, and the condition of your hair. These are the questions colorists at Mint on the Avenue answer most often, offered here so you arrive informed rather than uncertain.

What is the difference between foil highlights and balayage?

Foil highlights use a barrier to isolate sections, producing more precise lift and higher contrast. Balayage is painted freehand onto the surface of the hair, leaving the root area softer and the grow-out more gradual. Your colorist will recommend the technique that suits your hair texture and the result you are describing.

How do I maintain my highlights between appointments?

Aveda Color Renewal shampoo and conditioner preserve tone, and Aveda Botanical Repair addresses structural integrity — particularly if your hair has seen repeated lightening. Your colorist will build a specific take-home protocol into your service.

Can I get highlights if my hair has been previously colored or chemically treated?

Often, yes — but a consultation is essential. Previously relaxed, permed, or heavily colored hair requires a strand test and an honest conversation about realistic outcomes before work begins. The colorists at Mint on the Avenue will tell you clearly if a service is not in the best interest of your hair’s health.

How far in advance should I book a color appointment?

For new guests, booking one to two weeks ahead is recommended, particularly on weekends. Returning guests with an established colorist relationship should aim for the same window.

Do you offer a consultation before committing to a full service?

Yes. A standalone color consultation can be scheduled for guests who want to discuss options, review their hair history, and set realistic expectations before booking a full appointment. Guests who consult first are consistently more satisfied with their results.
