Demi Lovato is quoted as saying, “I weeded out friends who didn’t have my best interests at heart.” Several years ago, and fifty years older, Phyllis Diller did the same thing, well before she passed away. Weeding out the negative, and surrounding herself with the positive, living in the moment so that the everyday minutiae was precious…it’s great advice for everyone.
So when I took my daily walk this morning, I admired the palette of autumn leaves that anointed the sky with color.
I greeted the blue jay with, “hello, mom!”, convinced that its’ small soul was really my mother, who passed away years ago.
I thanked my hairdresser, because a passerby had complimented my hair color.
Which brings me to weeding out what isn’t good for us…too much liquor, re-runs of reality t.v., the person who criticizes our very being, or the stylist who gives us orange highlights that compete with the pumpkins at Halloween, when we asked for light blond.

Weed out the stylist with the ego not to correct a mistake. Weed out bad hair color!
Note to those who have hair color that’s BLAH…Make an appointment for the best hair color on the planet, the Geo Palette Color System!  Call Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY at 516 374-1490, or come in for a consultation with MariaLisa, Nikki, or George Mennella, the Geo Palette creator.

BEFORE!

AFTER!

I’ve witnessed it more than once…a distraught woman running into the salon with the words, “I need someone to fix my hair!” One desperate lady banged on the locked doors, pointing to her bright orange hair with tears in her eyes. We let her in and stayed until midnight, turning the alarmingly orange tresses to hues of gorgeous blond, and finishing her damaged ends with a fabulous cut. She thanked George Mennella at least a hundred times.

It happened again yesterday, a disaster in hair color and a desperate young lady who didn’t want to go out in public. George examined the damage like a doctor evaluating a difficult case. Then the words, “I can make you beautiful again,” and the look of hope in the client’s eyes.
George started the process, dry cutting it so that it had shape and form…combing and painting, decolorizing the hair strand by strand, until the roots were no longer orange, and the client relaxed in the chair, knowing she could go out in public again. A gorgeous cut and finish was the icing on the cake. It took painstaking hours, but his patience was endless and the client’s gratitude?…Well, let’s say it was boundless.

Everyone loves a happy ending. Come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, for a color fix, a color change, or our revolutionary new color system, the Geo Palette,  a color process created by George Mennella that surpasses the traditional highlight with its’ dimension and shine, only at Geo Palette certified salons.

I’m a trinket collector, and I’m having a tag sale so that my terrible shopping habits will be seen by all. My own Home Goods in the living room.
When I put my home up for sale, all of the decorators that staged their houses said: limit your trinkets to three to a table top. De-clutter. Clean.
I staged my house so beautifully with the help of a friend, that it sold in three days…which brings us to the life lesson learned: less is more. Spend the money on a quality piece, a skirt, a raincoat, a jacket, a haircut. One good piece is worth twenty trinkets.
Invest in your hair color with the best of the best: the Geo Palette. Gorgeous color that is not a highlight, so that blonds might have shades of wheat, gold, and platinum, as radiant as a sunny day. Brunettes exalt in burgundies, mahoganies, and rich chocolate laced with caramel.
Classic and revolutionary. Get the Geo Palette.
Now what the hell do I do with my teapots?

A friend recently told me that she no longer goes on Facebook, because everyone’s having more fun in life than she is. As Ovid said, “Envy aims high.”
Attending the Emiliani show in Atlantic City, I watched thousands of hairdressers stagger in nine inch heels and matching nine inch dresses with great interest. Some of them had exquisite color. A nod to their colorist’s skills. But a host of them had stripey highlights, seventy-six trombones worth. (Read: extremely brassy.)
If only they would check out the Geo Palette Hair System! Yes, they will envy the color. But they can get their creative juices going, and learn to deliver rich, dimensional color, with no stripes or bands. (Then they can color each other, pronto.) Salons are becoming certified in this remarkable color system. Aim high, for the very best, and go to our website at www.geopalette.com for enviable color. -JC

Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment now. Ovid would approve.

My doctor prescribed a large dose of vitamin D for my vitamin D depleted body.
“Two hundred dollars,” announced the pharmacist.
I ripped up the prescription and left.
My dermatologist told me to take a walk in the sun…put on a little sunscreen and enjoy nature for free. And that’s what I did.
To enjoy the best color on the planet, get the Geo Palette…four or five tonalities, multi-dimensional, kind to the environment, and fewer touch-ups between. Run, do not walk, to the Geo Palette certified salon of your choice, and get some vitamin D while you’re at it.

Winner? The Geo Palette!

I know the foil highlight can have some great results. A foil, a root touchup, and back for another foil. Same old same old.
But every time a friend decides to take the plunge, and get Geo Palette color instead, the Palette wins, hands down. Hair color is richer, less delineated, and shinier. The aluminum foil diminishes shine, and the palettes allow the stylist to paint the color on geometric planes, so that he or she can see all the colors underneath. And color lasts far longer, sometimes as long as five months, with root touch-ups in between.
The great debate? No contest. Stars, many of them, versus stripes, what you don’t want. You decide.
Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment to get the Geo Palette. Far easier than choosing a president. No debates necessary.
