About: PXL

“The Palette color illuminates my whole face and makes me feel sexier and more confident. My hair is fresh, youthful, and totally fun. When I got home, my mom was like, “You look like a celebrity!”

“I did the Paletting, and I hadn’t realized that the layers of color were very natural, yet special. At the pool club, people came up to me daily, telling me that I should definitely keep this color, as it was fabulous. And The Palette took almost half the time, since coloring and cutting were done simultaneously!”

“He used four colors with The Palette, rather than the “highlight-lowlight” technique. The results were FANTASTIC- my entire head shone with color, looked even more natural than it had before (which I did not think was possible), and has a depth to it like never before! It was also quicker than the foil process.”

“I’m hounded by clients asking me, ´Where did you get your color done?’ My hair has never looked better using George Mennella’s new color system, The Palette.”

“Simply put, using The Palette, my hair has never looked better! A terrific bonus of the Palette is that it takes much less time with better results than the highlights I got in the past. I regularly get stopped with, ´I love your hair! Where did you get it done?’ Now I just carry his card and smile as though it is the first time I’ve been given such a compliment.”

“The Winders are…wonders! I left the salon that day with confidence, adorned with larger, shapely curls in blonde and golden hues. Using the Winders on my curly hair has brought out the brilliance and curl so that my hair glows with color and depth!”

“My hairdresser, George, developed a new method of hair coloring called “The Palette”. So I decided to try it. Originally, there were three plastic palettes which George proceeded to use, one palette at a time, painting my hair with a variety of shades.”

“Now for the results of this process: “It’s awesome!” The subtle variation of color, shading, and intensity is absolutely beautiful. It’s not the usual two-shaded contrast from foils or any old fashioned method of coloring hair.”

“Everywhere I go, and I mean everywhere, I am always stopped and complimented on my hair.”

“The look was much more elegant than the “foils” I’m accustomed to. Twenty minutes under the dryer and I was ready for a rinse and blow out. The time savings were impressive, but the results were even more so! The color is spectacular and I think perfectly complements and even enhances the cut. I don’t think I’ve ever had a color and cut that were so well paired.”“Some ancillary benefits to The Palette, which may not have been considered by the inventor, are related to safety, comfort, and neatness. Accustomed to leaving the salon with a few new dark moles caused by splattered dye on my pale, paper-thin skin, I found no new growths after this visit. The torture of the itchy hair-shirt was also gone. The sense of unease that always accompanies razor cutting near my slightly protuberant ears was gone.”

“Best of all, I was able to put on my glasses (never allowed with foils) and enjoy reading my novel while the color processed. The Palette would both beautify and protect me. I love it!”

“As a dark brunette used to single process color just to cover gray, I could not have been luckier the day I fell into the talented hands of Antoinette Benincasa using George’s innovative Geo Palette!”

“I had been thinking about going lighter and a bit afraid having no idea what to expect and wanting a natural look. As George intended, this truly is an art form and Antoinette painstakingly painted my thick hair, creating a blend of beautiful and subtle colorings. It wasn’t until my hair was dried and styled that I fully appreciated her eye and talent. I love the colors she selected and every day depending on how I wear my hair, see new variations. I’m getting many compliments on my hair, and also people saying how wonderful I look, not realizing what I did differently. I think that is a great testament to Antoinette’s expertise. I’m hooked.”

“In the middle of July, normally the worst time of year for my curly and frizz-prone hair, I got the Three Tiered Treatment. Even with this year’s heat waves and humidity, while I wilted on the subway, my hair was PERFECT!” Following our Three-tiered Transformation: Geo Palette color, keratin, and our own revolutionary curl softening technique

“I absolutely love how the Geo Palette three tiered curl management, color and keratin transformed my hair from being curly, frizzy, and dull to shiny, straight, and I love the color! I can’t thank George enough for making me love my hair. The best is waking up in the morning and not having to fuss with it and it looks great.

Imagine creating a specialized Palette Artist department, which can range from one chair to a full salon. The Geo Palette Hair System works easily with your existing furniture and equipment. Our industry is an exciting one. However, for the past few years, there has been a lull. Hairdressers want something new, and hair coloring has emerged as the new frontier. The Nassau Museum of Art in New York has recognized the Geo Palette Hair System as art. The Geo Palette Hair System is the new buzz. The System is not a fad but it is a tool to create fads. Fads create interest, fun and excitement — components that have made our industry so successful. The Geo Palette Hair System has the potential to revolutionize the beauty industry by bringing a creative evolution of new technology to existing traditions.

The Geo System will astound the salon professional with the creative options it offers. The more difficult and intricate the color and cut, the better and quicker the Geo System delivers. You’ll be able to apply four, five, six colors at a time to achieve the multi-dimensional looks clients love, faster and easier. George Mennella’s system makes the salon professional’s job easier and, at the same time, a great deal more interesting. As salon owners, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our bottom line. The Geo Palette Hair System is the vehicle to do it.

The Geo Palette Hair System piques client interest. The client can observe the “process” by glancing up and seeing the application of color take place. And any odor from the hair color is directed upward, reducing any unpleasantness. Additionally, with the Geo Palette Hair System, there is virtually no mess, and the “take down” is quick and easy. The client will be excited to tell her friends and family about her new salon experience.

The Geo Palette artist has the potential to successfully create new high-end price structured services as well as performing efficiently at any price range, and totally exceed client’s expectations. Costs increase when the client wants a customized Palette, for her own use only, imprinted with her color and/or haircut pattern. Ordered, maintained and purchased through the salon, the client/salon relationship is strengthened. Pricing is also adjusted when the client desires more intricate patterns with a greater number of colors. Once the process is complete, the hair is shampooed, treated, dried and finished, and she is out the door with compliment-worthy results. Most importantly, the System is environmentally friendly. The palettes are reusable and not discarded, as are foils.

Why should a salon professional use the Geo Palette Hair System?
The Geo Palette Hair System is an exciting new approach to both hair coloring and cutting. With this system, complex multi-dimensional results are achieved with better understanding in less application time. Using the individual Geo palettes, hair design can now be approached on separate and independent geometric planes. The Geo Palette Hair System artist, trained and certified in the system, applies color and cuts the hair using the visual perspective the System allows. The experienced Geo Palette artist can accomplish the process of cutting and coloring in approximately half the time of traditional foil and cutting methods.

Using the Geo Palette, all boundaries of conventionality are eliminated. Using the conventional method, hair is sealed up in foil, out of sight, and the colorist has to “track”, remember and then guess the color placement. With the Geo System, the palette artist can see where the various points of interest and detail are. Because the hair is always visible and never hidden, 3-D, holographic color results emerge. The palettes on which the hair rests allows the salon professional to easily place and balance color and shape the hair to create unparalleled finished looks. The Geo Palette Hair System elevates the process of hair coloring and cutting to a new art form. It has the potential to both enhance client satisfaction and salon revenues. With the Geo System, “If you can think it, you can achieve it.”

Geo RED! Make every head a work of Art.

Letter from the museum declaring the Geo Palette process one of artistry

Nassau County Museum of Art

Dear Mr. Mennella,
The demonstration of the art of the Geo-Palette has been absolutely amazing. To watch the tiers of hair layers being “painted” in the varied colors – from light to dark or dark to light was a unique presentation. The application of color on the tiers of the individual plastic palettes was akin to watching an artist paint in his studio. The entire process was one of artistry, and being a museum person, was very special to watch.

Of course, observing the entire layering, in this instance four separate layers, and then seeing the end product, is a culmination of any process and that was fantastic. The varied colorations and highlights within the hair as the model turned her head was amazing and uniquely different. It was natural with tones yet one could see that the process could be used for a more dramatic look, one that would easily be accessible for the fashion and theatrical worlds as well as the world of the beauty salon.

What a special treat you afforded me to see this most unusual art process to help women enhance their beauty. I can definitely endorse the Geo-Palette as one of artistry and another source to bring out a woman’s loveliness.

Sincerely yours,
Constance Schwartz
