Vulnerability: should we show it?

In a recent interview with the CEO of Starbucks, he was quoted as saying that one of the most important qualities in a leader was showing vulnerability…to the right people, of course.

Arrogance can be offputting. And if a leader confesses to being wrong or ill-advised, his vulnerability can actually create a bond of trust.

Trust us with the Geo Palette Color System…the most beautiful cutting edge color you will ever experience.

Okay, we’re arrogant about it. But vulnerable enough to beg you to try it.

Call us at 516 374-1490, or go to our website www.geopalette.com to see our work. Or visit our flagship palette salon at 956 Broadway, Woodmere, NY for gorgeous color.

The Lethal Compliment: Do we want it?

Here at Bewitched Salon, the compliment is king…(or queen, for that matter.)

But when a client told me, “You’ve lost weight, haven’t you?”, what did I think? That I must have looked fat before.

The next day, decked out in my new (and very expensive) foundation and concealer, a client commented,

“You’re wearing new makeup! It looks better than that white stuff you usually wear.”

Now, had I known that I was looking like a cosmetic ghost, would I have wanted her to tell me? Possibly not.

The lethal compliment can be tricky.

Okay, there’s more. Last night, a friend remarked, “I love that lipstick you’re wearing! That red color you wore the other day was awful.”

Who asked you?

In life, we know that sugar gets us so much further than vinegar.

So the next time I get a double whammy of a compliment, I’ll do one of two things. I’ll recite my mantra of peace on earth, silently. Or I’ll swear like a sailor, inside my head.

Here at Bewitched, we are the flagship salon for cutting edge color called the Geo Palette. Go to www.geopalette.com and see what we’re doing. Our clients leave with gorgeous color and get unsolicited compliments that are as pure as snow.

Peace on earth, for sure. No muttering under the breath whatsoever. And hurrah for fabulous, revolutionary color. 516 374-1490 to schedule an appointment.

If you THINK the compliment, make someone’s day….and tell them.

We had a new client come into Bewitched today, and she wasn’t popular. She glowered at the shampoo person, and wasn’t much nicer to the manicurist. But when she walked toward me, she glided, so gracefully, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I told her so, and she lit up, her smile my reward.
After that, she was sweeter to everyone.
From now on, if I THINK it, I say it. I might make someone’s day, and in the process, she might make our day better.
Come in and get our Geo Palette, color sweeter than anyone’s…brighter, more cutting edge OR subtle, gorgeous, revolutionary.
Call us at 516 374-1490 for an appointment, or check out www.geopalette for results.
Compliments will flow, unbidden.
You won’t feel grouchy any more.

Why the hell does it have to hurt? Fashion and pain…

Here at Bewitched, we love to look good.  But can we be a teeny bit masochistic when it comes to fashion?

Let’s take tight pants…by the end of a long work day, they start to chafe. Enough said.

How about high heels? Some of us bring three pairs to work…killers to begin with, lower heels a few hours later, and flats or wedges towards the end of the day. Not sexy, but life takes over.

Spandex tummy control garments…wear them for hours and we feel like we just might expode.

Belts snuggly cinched at the waist? See how you like it after lunch, girls.

Dangly earrings and big neck scarves? Feeling scratched by fabric or swinging faux gems can be a fashion hazard.

Will we give up fashion to ease the pain? Not yet, not now…maybe not ever.

Or come to Bewitched and get the Geo Palette…fabulous hair and color design, pain-free and pleasureful! See our results at www.geopalette.com

Or come in for the Three-tiered Transformation for difficult hair!
Either way, call us at 516 374-1490 to make an appointment. No pain involved. Only compliments to follow..

The dark smokey look is in…so how come I look like I have a black eye?

Okay, here at Bewitched we like being on the cutting edge of style…we are the flagship salon for the Geo Palette Cut/Color System, after all.

So when I read about the dark smokey eye, I had to try it. We have three wonderful makeup artists here at the shop, but I did my eyes at home.

My daughter was the first to notice. “Is that a black eye?” she asked me, over toast and coffee.

The man behind the counter at the bagel shop looked alarmed. “Is your boyfriend beating you?”

Some eye makeup remover wiped away my supposed beating, and I’m back to a bare eye with mascara and liner…until Alice or Nichole or Eyeleen are available. After all, I have a reputation to uphold, and two black eyes aren’t good for my image.

My hair color, however, created by George and his revolutionary Geo Palette Hair System, is very good for my image. I get tons of compliments, and if you call us at Bewitched Salon for an appointment, you’ll love it, too. 516 374-1490

Or have a look-see at www.geopalette.com for our fabulous results.

Don’t ask me for a smokey eye, though. The coffee and compliments are on the house.

Does Snooky deserve to be a Halloween costume?

Most of us at Bewitched love dear Snookie from the Jersey Shore reality show…even though, as a hair salon, we don’t particularly endorse the poof. But Snookie herself isn’t wearing it as much, and we are noticing that eighties big hair IS coming back.

Our beef, and not the kind plastered all over Lady Gaga, is whether a group of kids, however nice they are, deserve the fame and notoriety they are receiving. They’re not role models. They aren’t particularly well read. They don’t endorse causes like “It will get better”, when it comes to gay teenagers being harassed. The boys cook, which is nice, but they smush alot, and not with much of a selection process. Of course, the girls they bed down with are equally agreeable, so why quibble?

But as ordinary young people, do they deserve their fame? Should they be walking the Red Carpet without acting skills, comedy gifts, writing talent under their belt? Are we applauding the bedding down, the fist fights, the bitch slapping, the drunken antics and petty jealousies of real life? We are fascinated by it, that’s for sure.

Here at Bewitched, our clients applaud the gorgeous hair they are getting from our revolutionary new system, the Geo Palette. We know talent when we see it, in the hands of our gifted stylists.

Look for it at www.geopalette.com or come and see us at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY. 516 374-1490. Call us. They might not make you a Halloween costume, but your hair will be fabulous!

Why can’t I remember to buy blueberries, when they will help my memory?

Today I woke up to a bowl of oatmeal without my blueberries. A lack of memory has been plaguing me lately, and I know I can blame it on lots of things. My age. Overload. Stress. Too much reality t.v. The list goes on.

So I raced to the supermarket only to find that blueberries have gone up to five dollars for a small carton. The raspberries were $1.99. But I don’t think they help your memory. (I looked it up, but who can remember?)

I figured I’d ration them out, twenty blueberries a bowl, and make the carton last.

Or maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ll forget how much I paid for the blueberries that will improve my memory.

What I DO remember is that I’ve never gotten more compliments on my hair, following my recent Geo Palette color. It’s the most revolutionary new color system anywhere, and I actually had someone follow me into Gristedes in NYC to ask where I got my color done. When I told her Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, she looked at me as though I wanted her to fly to the moon. But we are simply a subway ride away for the most fabulous color, only available here, or at the Beehive in Brooklyn, or select salons in Florida.

Try it. You won’t need blueberries to remember you how much you love it.

Look for our results at www.geopalette.com. Or call us at Bewitched to make an appointment. 516 374-1490

Is there a link between hair color and behavior? Scientific studies say YES!

In many species, there is a relationship between coat color and behavior. Let’s take the fox, for example. Studies show that the red fox, in proximity to the human being, is shyest at approaching. The silver fox will come closer. and the amber colored fox will venture as close as a foot!  Color affects behavior in deer, cats, dogs, mink, and rats as well!
In our world, we can choose our own special hair color. Does the blonde get more attention, and really have more fun? Does the brunette have more marriage proposals, because she seems more conventional? Does the redhead have a temper to match her hair color?
Here at Bewitched Salon, we help you design your own color… dazzling hues to match the pigment of your eyes and skin.
Blondes will bedazzle.
Redheads will glow.
Brunettes will shatter the conventional bubble.

If he’s out of work, is he more likely to cheat?

Unfortunately, a new poll has come out reporting that the unemployed spouse will cheat on his partner four to five times more than someone with a job. We know his ego is shot to smithereens.
And that it’s hard to resurrect his injured manhood by cleaning the house, or gardening, or playing video games.
On the flip side, there is more bad news. The husband earning significantly more money than his wife is also more likely to cheat.
Here’s the deal, says the poll. In the most successful partnerships, the wife earns seventy percent of the husband’s salary. It doesn’t sound fair to us!
We suggest a few things. The partner should help her significant other look fast and hard for a job. Keep him busy. Don’t let idle friends keep him company. Pray.
But living well is the best revenge. She should come to Bewitched Salon for a Geo Palette cut and color, unlike any other in the world. Revolutionary. Liberating. Fabulous. And her confidence will be boosted one hundred percent.
