What Is a Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
- Keratin Smoothing Treatment
- A professional in-salon service that infuses keratin protein into the hair shaft, reducing frizz, softening curl pattern, and significantly cutting dry-time — without permanently straightening the hair. At Mint on the Avenue, the service starts at $250 and lasts roughly 12 weeks with the correct take-home aftercare protocol.
- Brazilian Blowout
- A specific keratin-based smoothing system carried at Mint on the Avenue. It seals the hair cuticle with a liquid keratin formula, making it particularly effective against Florida humidity. Results vary by hair type and are confirmed with your artist before the service begins.
- Take-Home Aftercare
- The sulfate-free, keratin-safe products — drawn from Aveda’s Smooth Infusion and Damage Remedy lines — that extend your results through the full 12-week window. Your artist builds a specific plan at the end of every appointment.
How Does Mint on the Avenue Approach Texture Services?
Texture appointments at Mint on the Avenue are treated like color projects: chemistry-first, strand-test informed, and paired with a take-home aftercare plan built around your specific hair. Plan on approximately 360 minutes in the chair — the time reflects a thorough application, processing, and finishing sequence, not a rushed result. Final pricing depends on your artist level, hair length, and the goal of your visit; the team always confirms with you before any service begins.
Every visit draws on Aveda — plant-based, cruelty-free formulas developed with the same science you would find at an Aveda institute. As an Aveda Concept Salon, Mint on the Avenue’s team trains continuously on the line, which means the standard behind a keratin smoothing appointment in Winter Park, FL is the same standard behind every other service on the menu. Smooth Infusion and Damage Remedy products are the preferred aftercare pairings, and your artist will walk you through exactly which formulas belong in your routine before you leave the chair.
Why Do Winter Park Guests Choose Mint for Keratin Smoothing?
Florida humidity is not a background condition — it is an active variable in every texture decision made at Mint on the Avenue. The keratin smoothing service is designed around it, and the 12-week longevity figure assumes a Central Florida climate, not a controlled environment. Guests who have tried smoothing services elsewhere and found the results collapse by week four typically find the difference is in the aftercare protocol, not the service itself.
Guests walk over from Hannibal Square or Rollins College. Others drive in from 32814 (Baldwin Park), 32751 (Maitland), 32746 (Lake Mary), and 32708 (Casselberry / Winter Springs) — the SunRail stop on Park Avenue makes the commute straightforward for those coming from outside the 32789 ZIP. The salon sits a short walk from Hamilton’s Kitchen and within easy reach of the Winter Park Farmers Market, which means an appointment folds naturally into a full Park Avenue afternoon rather than requiring a separate trip.
What Products Support Results After the Service?
Aftercare is where a 12-week result either holds or shortens. Mint on the Avenue builds every keratin smoothing appointment around a specific take-home plan — typically anchored in Aveda Smooth Infusion for daily smoothing maintenance and Aveda Damage Remedy for structural support between visits. Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant is a frequent finishing recommendation for guests in the 32789 and surrounding ZIP codes, where outdoor humidity is a daily reality. Your artist will confirm the exact protocol before you leave.
