Once upon a time, there was a young lady…

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.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: Is that why you want my hair color?

We just had a reporter visit us at Bewitched Salon, in Woodmere, NY, to do a newspaper piece on the Geo Palette, our new color system that surpasses the highlight with its’ stunning results.  She looked at the website, watched the slide show, asked if I had Geo Palette color, and made an appointment for tomorrow.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…and she wants my hair color in time for Christmas.

Come in and see me. Compliment my hair color, and remember that you can have Geo Palette color, too.

If Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator, do I buy my daughter Tempting Beige Blush by Chanel for Hanukkah?

Three books have come out about Coco Chanel, and Sleeping with the Enemy by Hal Vaughan makes me wonder if I should buy my daughter the Chanel blush she wants for Hanukkah! Her love affair with Baron Hans Gunther von Dincklage, a Nazi spy, makes a girl wonder, doesn’t it?

Does it give us enough cause not to buy a Chanel lipstick? Or a purse, for that matter?

She grew up hard, in an orphanage, and smart, in business, an opportunist in a hard scrapple world. A friend of Winston Churchill, but sleeping with the enemy…was it just a late affair with a much younger man who happened to be a Nazi? Three authors of recent books about Chanel’s personal life seem to disagree.

Perhaps we’ll never know the truth. But we do know the truth about fabulous hair color…the best ever color you will have in your life. Get the Geo Palette, at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, or at palette certified salons. No politics involved,  just top of the line color, better than a highlight and green, to boot.

Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment. Or visit us at Bewitched, at 956 Broadway, in Woodmere, NY.  -JC

The Lamborghini of Hair Color: Geo Palette

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

Her Blondness and her Highness: Morphing Marilyn Monroe

I didn’t expect to love Michelle Williams’s portrayal of my favorite movie legend, Marilyn Monroe. I expected to be dismissive.

Instead, I was entranced. I believed her power to seduce everyone in sight, except for Sir Laurence Olivier, who dismissed her with the words, “Do what you do best. Act sexy,” or something like that, offensive and careless.

I believed Julia Ormond, who played Olivier’s wife, Vivian Leigh, sobbing in front of the rushes that showed Marilyn’s younger beauty, reflecting on the loss of her own.

I believed Eddie Redmayne playing Colin Clark, in love with Marilyn and totally in her power, his eyes lit from within whenever he saw her.

I sat in my seat as the credits ran, teary and nostalgic, carried back to my teen years reading the headlines that Marilyn Monroe had died.
Marilyn and Michelle had bewitched me once more, for an hour and a half of cinematic bliss.

For bewitchment of another kind, come to Bewitched in Woodmere, NY to get the Geo Palette, revolutionary hair color that surpasses the highlight. If Vivian had tried our new color system, she might have looked ten years younger. Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. Hollywood may haunt us, but years later, our hair color has never looked better.
Morph your favorite actress and be the star of your own life, with the Geo Palette, at 956 Broadway, Woodmere, NY or at any palette certified salon.
