I am feeling sorry for myself, propped in front of a fan that isn’t giving me relief. Too hot to clean. Too hot to do yard work. My car is out of commission.

My friends know that I never sweat. I am sweating.

So I get a ride to the mall. I don’t like malls much, but it will do.  I have a cool drink at Starbucks while I wait for a pedicure. The area smells….air conditioned. And when I am greeted by my Korean manicurist, in all my white russian paleness with my patina of, well, perspiration, what does she say?

“I love your hair color.” Damn. That’s the Geo Palette Hair System. Great color, even when you’re in a sweat. I guess it should have put me in a good mood sooner. -JC

Colorists: go to www.geopalette.com for info about the system, and soon to be available starter kits so that you can learn the best new color system available to the hairdressing industry. Your clients will love it, and so will you. Or call 516 374-490 for an appointment in Woodmere, NY to get the Geo Palette. No sweat. Just gorgeous.

Have you ever visited your hair salon, asked for brand new color, and gone home and cried? Tequila doesn’t help. An attack of blindness might…but your friends will let you know that your color sucks, won’t they? And bad color in daylight spells disaster.

Try something new for spring: the Geo Palette Hair System. It’s fabulous color that lasts longer than a highlight, is kind to the environment, creates multi-dimension in your hair, and won’t give you a hangover! Daylight is your friend, and so is the mirror.

Geo Palette color: a cure for hair hangover.  The only drink you’ll need is to celebrate! Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment with one of our Geo Palette Colorists.

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.

Here in America, we whiten and brighten. A good friend came back from a long trip away with breast implants, a tummy tuck, and teeth whiter than chiclets. Or, as another friend put it, teeth like yogurt. They dazzled us so much, we shielded our eyes.

But in Japan, it seems, a new fashion has women paying to have their teeth re-arranged. No punches involved. Just dental surgery that results in “fangs”, a look called yaeba that men find attractive. Did you know that crooked teeth have an endearing factor, and make women more approachable?

But if the man finds it cute, I ask, does the woman? Does she feel like the perfect object of desire, with teeth made crooked? Does she feel better about herself, pleasing the man by looking more imperfect?

I give up. Come in and get perfect color with the Geo Palette instead. Everyone will compliment you, men and women. And after that, if you want imperfection…just mess up your hair. -JC

“Being your authentic self” has been bandied about since the nineties: in self-help books, on Oprah, and lately, with politicians. But what if your authentic self is nasty? Or selfish? Or out of control?

Maybe the goal should be to become a better person. For me, I have to edit myself more (read: keep my mouth shut), be more open-minded, and learn to curb my temper. Storming out of the room doesn’t work if the person you’re mad at doesn’t follow.

My authentic self is artistic. But my authentically lazy self might not do another painting. So it takes a little more than authenticity to change my ways. It takes hard work and will-power.

Changing your hair at Bewitched Salon with the Geo Palette Hair System is easy, liberating, and revolutionary.  Make an appointment for the Geo Palette and let us bring out the authenticity that we know best…being authentically beautiful.

So I get dressed in the morning in the outfit that I’ve planned in my head the night before. Funky tights ala Betsy Johnson. A black pencil skirt cinched at the waist with a wide belt. My faux diamond necklace. My new way too expensive concealer which hides the bags under my eyes. A bold red lip, very little makeup on my eyes. (I remember to emphasize either the eyes or the lips, rarely both.)

I check out my reflection in the long mirror in the hallway.

I look good. I feel attractive. Heads will turn.

And not a single person compliments me all day. How can this be? And why does it mean that I will never wear that particular ensemble again?

I hate to say it, I really do. But I think it means I have low self-esteem.

Or that I need another person’s stamp of approval before I’m sure of my own sense of fashion.

Of course, it may mean that I look SO good that I intimidate people. I’ll never know, because I’m already stuffing the outfit in the back of the closet to gather dust.

For high self-esteem that will never be questioned, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, New York for our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette. You will leave us feeling like James Cagney in one of his old movies…On top of the world! (I think he’s talking to his mother, and is about to burn to death, so this vision might not be particularly relevant.)

But you’ll be on fire! How’s that?

See our results at www.geopalette.com or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490.

You’ll never question how good you look again.

Creativity is addictive. Over and over, we want to boost the dopamine levels in our brain. As Steven Sondheim writes in his autobiography, “Finishing the Hat”, artists are looking for the next “hat” to tackle…

Wake up depressed? I did.

So I jazzed myself up. Lace stockings. A pretty top. Toffee colored lipstick. High heels.

Added raisins to my oatmeal. Heated up milk to make the coffee creamy. Made an interesting salad so that I wouldn’t eat too much for lunch which would add to my doldrums.

Made myself focus on the autumnal oranges and fiery reds decking the trees on the way to work. Beautiful.

Smiled a few times in the car mirror to rev up my endorphins.

I felt better!

And now I’m about to watch a new client get the Geo Palette, our revolutionary color/cut system that is transforming hair. Her happiness will make me happy, too!

Come and try it. It will lift any depression and add the most amazing color to your life.
