What Is the Hopes and Dreams Consultation?
Hopes and Dreams is an unhurried, one-on-one conversation with your artist — approximately 60 minutes dedicated entirely to mapping where your hair is now and where you would like it to go. It carries no service fee and belongs to no single treatment category, which means it sits comfortably on its own or alongside a color, cut, or Aveda treatment already on the books.
- Hopes and Dreams
- A complimentary 60-minute hair consultation at Mint on the Avenue. No charge to the guest. Bookable as a standalone appointment or added to any existing service.
- Aveda Concept Salon

How Does Hopes and Dreams Fit Into Your Appointment?
Because the consultation sits outside any single service category, it adapts. Guests arriving for a Botanical Repair treatment, a Scalp Solutions session, or a Brazilian Blowout smoothing service can add Hopes and Dreams to the front of that visit — your artist arrives already familiar with your hair history and uses the time to align on goals before a single product is opened. Guests who simply want a clear-eyed assessment of their hair’s condition and a realistic path forward can book the 60 minutes on its own. Either way, every conversation is grounded in Aveda’s plant-based approach and the cruelty-free formulas the salon has worked with since well before 2020.
Why Do Guests Drive to Winter Park for This Consultation?
Mint on the Avenue draws guests from across the region — from 32803 (Audubon Park and Orlando), 32804 (College Park), 32814 (Baldwin Park), and 32751 (Maitland) — because the consultation is genuinely without obligation and genuinely without charge. There is no upsell built into the 60 minutes. Your artist’s only task is to listen, assess, and offer a considered plan. The Park Avenue setting helps: guests often pair the visit with a walk past the Morse Museum of American Art, a stop at Briar Patch Books, or a table at Prato or Hamilton’s Kitchen — the SunRail stop makes the trip straightforward from College Park or Maitland without a car.
What Aveda Products and Services May Follow a Consultation?
Depending on what the conversation surfaces, your artist may recommend a path through any number of Aveda lines carried at the salon — Botanical Repair for bond-level damage, Invati Ultra Advanced for thinning concerns, Scalp Solutions for scalp health, Nutriplenish for moisture, Be Curly Advanced for curl definition, Smooth Infusion or a Brazilian Blowout for frizz management, or Damage Remedy for structural repair. Extensions through VoMor, Japanese straightening through Yuko, and ISO perms are also available for guests whose goals point in those directions. None of that is required to book Hopes and Dreams — the consultation stands on its own.
