Smoothing Consult

A complimentary, roughly 15-minute conversation with your stylist. You bring reference photos; we study your hair’s history, discuss timeline and budget, and send you home with a written service plan — no booking required until you are ready.

Brazilian Blowout

A professional smoothing treatment that reduces frizz and curl pattern for weeks at a time, using a liquid keratin formula applied and sealed with heat. Offered at Mint on the Avenue following a smoothing consult.

Yuko Japanese Straightening

A permanent thermal reconditioning system that restructures the hair’s bonds for long-lasting straightness. Recommended after a thorough strand assessment — exactly the kind discussed during a smoothing consult at Mint.

What Is a Smoothing Consult at Mint on the Avenue?

A smoothing consult is a focused, unhurried conversation — plan on roughly 15 minutes — between you and your stylist at Mint on the Avenue. We sit together, look at reference photos, talk through your hair’s history, and assess whether a Brazilian Blowout, Yuko Japanese Straightening, or another approach fits your goals. Nothing is scheduled until you leave with a written plan and feel confident about the next step. The consult is complimentary, always.

How Does a Smoothing Consult Fit Into Your Visit?

Every transformation at Mint on the Avenue begins with a free consult — it is the first item on the consultation menu, not an afterthought. We strand-test when the hair’s history calls for it, discuss realistic timelines, and align on budget before you are ever booked into the chair. Because the consult stands alone as its own appointment, you are never pressured to commit on the same day. Guests who visit from College Park 32804, Baldwin Park 32814, and Audubon Park 32803 often fold the 15-minute consult into a Saturday morning already anchored around the Winter Park Farmers Market or a walk past the Morse Museum of American Art.

Why Do Guests Travel to Winter Park for a Smoothing Consult?

Mint on the Avenue draws guests from well beyond the 32789 ZIP. Regulars arrive from 32779 (Longwood), 32801 (Downtown Orlando), 32806 (Delaney Park), and 32812 (Conway) — the SunRail and Amtrak station on Park Avenue makes the trip straightforward without a car. The draw is a combination of place and philosophy: a calm Park Avenue block between Briar Patch Books and Reynolds Jewelers, a back bar stocked entirely with Aveda, and a team that trains continuously on the line so the science behind every service meets the same standard you would find at an Aveda institute. Since 2020, the salon has kept its consultation-first model intact — no upsell, no rush, no surprises on service day.

Which Smoothing Services Are Available After the Consult?

Once the consult is complete and a written plan is in place, guests may book from the following smoothing services at Mint on the Avenue:

1. Brazilian Blowout — a semi-permanent smoothing treatment that reduces frizz and curl pattern, beginning at $185 depending on length and density.
2. Yuko Japanese Straightening — a permanent thermal reconditioning system for guests seeking lasting straightness; pricing determined at consult after strand assessment.
3. Smooth Infusion by Aveda — a gentler, style-prep approach using Aveda’s Smooth Infusion line for guests who want frizz control without a chemical service.

All services use Aveda formulas — plant-based and cruelty-free — or the professional smoothing lines carried at Mint. No competing brands are introduced at any point in the service.
