I recently sampled a glass of Cristal champagne, often dubbed the best champagne in the world. It was delicious. But in a blind test, would I have the palate, or aesthetic taste and mental appreciation, to taste the difference between Cristal and supermarket champagne? Possibly not.

I recently took a drive in a Mazerati, often dubbed the most exclusive luxury sports car in the world. It was wonderful. In a blind test, would I know the difference between the Mazerati and my Toyota? Maybe.

I recently had Geo Palette color, the most revolutionary hair color in the world, multi-dimensional, with rich tonalities. Looking in the mirror, would I be able to see the difference between the Geo Palette and the highlight? Without a doubt.

Stunning color, longer laster, kind to the environment and absolutely gorgeous…do I have the palate to appreciate the Geo Palette? Absolutely.

Test your aesthetic palate, and call 516 374-1490 for an appointment with luxury…the Mazerati of hair and the Cristal of color…The Geo Palette Color System. Go to www.geopalette.com for results. -JC

I loved the Hunger Games. But when it comes to the Hair Games, and the fight to the finish, the Geo Palette Hair System is victorious.  Forget your traditional stripey highlights, fat or thin. Try the Geo Palette for the color of your life: multi-dimensional, three or more tonalities, no foils that dull the hair, and re-usable sections that are kind to the earth. A fight to the finished hair!

I went to a wake this morning, immersed in sadness and a loving family, and read the banners on the church walls.
On one side, the banner read: fast from discontent, anger, bitterness, self-concern, despair, guilt, suspicion, and laziness.
On the other, it read: feast on gratitude, forgiveness, compassion, hope, committment, truth and patience.
Good advice for all, I thought. So lose your discontent with your current hair color. Feast on gratitude for the Geo Palette. Forgive your hairdresser and have them train in the Geo Palette. Lose your bitterness with stripey highlights, and commit to the Geo Palette, just once. Don’t despair. Don’t feel guilty about leaving your hairdresser. It’s time for him to stop being lazy, and face the truth. Geo Palette hair color is the best hair color in the world. Be patient. Get an appointment. Feast on the gratitude of great hair!

I recently watched a program about giving up addictions…not hard core heroin or sex twenty times a day, but things like candy, soda, shopping, and Facebook.

The psychologist suggested forcing yourself to eat a candy bar at four o’clock, every afternoon. It seems that making yourself eat it will take the pleasure away.

So I tried it, but I liked it. Like a cup of tea in the afternoon, my candy bar became a habit. I switched from a Milky Way to a Three Musketeers for fewer calories, and cursed out the psychologist for my new four o’clock habit that I have to break.

For an easier fix, become addicted to your hair color and try the Geo Palette…color better than drugs or candy bars or even great sex. Because it lasts for months. Go to www.geopalette.com for information, or visit a Geo Palette certified salon to satisfy your craving for fabulous color. No aluminum foils that dull your hair, and compliments galore! Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment at Bewitched, or visit any Geo Palette certified salon that welcomes your addiction. -JC

A new study conducted by researchers at Harvard and Duke has found that creative thinkers are more likely to cheat. Dr Francesca Gino tells us that “creativity makes people more morally flexible.” Hmmm.

Physically, the word flexible is no longer part of my vocabulary. And as a creative person, I plead the fifth.

But for a fabulous new year,  I urge all of you to get your creative juices going, and cheat on your hairdresser. Start 2012 with an explosion of fabulous color, and get the Geo Palette. Your stylist may be upset with you. But your hair won’t be.

For a more ethical way, urge your hairdresser to get trained in the Geo Palette Hair System. Your conscience will be clear, and your stylist will be ecstatic. No foils, a green system, and the best color ever. How can you go wrong?

Happy New Year from the Geo Palette. Cheaters welcome at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, Beehive Islips, C3, Port Washington, and Karisma, Florida. More to follow. -JC

Once upon a time, there was a young lady who gave and gave. She gave to her friends who were in need. She gave to her parents, who had already given to her. She gave to the planet, which had served her so well.
She was all given out.
Pale and wan, she walked into Bewitched Salon, in the little town of Woodmere.
“I’ve given and given,” she said to the color professionals. “My hair is dull and lifeless. I can’t give any more.”
“We know what to do,” said the Bewitched color therapist.
They had her sit on a throne, and gave her fresh coffee and festive cookies. They painted and colored, cut and styled, and the Geo Palette transformation was done…glowing color like never before. She radiated light and beauty, and floated out of the shop, ready to resume her holiday festivities.
Give yourself the gift of the Geo Palette. Renew your spirit, and enhance your hair.
And happy holidays from all of us at Bewitched Salon.

Sitting in the Angelica Film Center on Houston Street, an ad for perfume appeared on the screen. The beautiful model was driving off in a sleek expensive looking car, and my companion murmured, “That’s a Lamorghini,” as if he were talking about heaven on earth.

As the lights went down, a woman tapped me on the shoulder. “Where do you get your color done?” she asked. I pulled out a card and handed it to her.

As the film began, I had time to think. “The Artist” is brilliant, a present day silent hommage to the cinema with no dialogue, but a shot of caffeine is order, ahead of time. Bugattis and Lamborginis and Ferraris danced through my head. I was pleased that the woman behind me liked my hair.

That’s when I realized that Ferruccio Lamborghini, Ettore Bugatti, Enzo Ferrari and George Mennella, inventor of the Geo Palette Hair System, have a common lineage. Luxury cars/top of the line hair color like no other in the world. And all of them born in Italy.

For the Lamborghini of hair color, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY. Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. Take the drive of your life with George Mennella, MariaLisa Mennella, and other Geo Palette certified artists. -JC

The New York Times just published an article about Manolo Blahnik versus Christian Louboutin: classical shoes by the London designer that Carrie Bradshaw died for, or the flashier red soled heels that dangled a price tag by their very appearance.

Vanity Fair, it seems, once called every woman’s favorite phallic symbol SHOES. They have a point (no pun intended.) Put on a pair of six to eight inch heels, and you’re sure to walk like a glamor girl and feel like a star.

In a 2007 survey by Women’s Wear Daily, it seems that 37% of 2000 consumers said they would bungee-jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for a life time supply of Manolos.

I agree with Mr. Blahnik that “shoes help transform a woman.” But when we meet a person for the very first time,  do we start at the bottom or go straight to the top, meaning, do we notice the face and hair, or the feet?

Don’t get me wrong. I love my high heeled shoes, but I love my Geo Palette hair color more. Come to Bewitched Salon for transformational color that is unsurpassed, or go the website www.geopalette.com for results. Would I bungee-jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for a lifetime of Geo Palette color? Yes… and I’m terrified of heights.

Jump to Bewitched Salon at 956 Broadway, in Woodmere, NY, or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. High heels optional. -JC

I did my first walk for a cure for breast cancer at Jone’s Beach on Sunday. It was a fabulous people watching day. Packs of raucous boys and sweet faced girls, saucy ladies and steadfast elders walked with the same determination in mind: curing a cancer that takes away our loved ones. Some somber duos carried photos, some donned fuschia boas, or wore pink ribbons bejeweled on their cheeks.

My group of seven called themselves the Clamdiggers. Don’t ask. We laughed a lot and celebrated beforehand with Eggs Benedict that did a dance in my belly for the first three miles. Walking fast was not an option, there were so many people.

Wearing a hoody for an hour or so gave me hat hair for the day, but didn’t dim the feeling that we will persevere, year after year, until the whispered C word dwindles into nothing.

For great hair, come to Bewitched Salon at 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY. For fabulous revolutionary color, try the Geo Palette here…surpassing traditional highlights with dynamite results, only available at Geo Palette certified salons: Bewitched Salon (flagship salon), Bewitched in Woodmere (MariaLisa is wonderful), Ani at Regis in Huntington, Carlo at C3, and other certified salons.

See you next year at Jone’s Beach, for “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer”.

Fix your bad highlights at Bewitched Salon any time. -JC
