A friend of mine was told by her daughter that she gave off negative energy, and was hard to be around. Just in time for the birth of her first grandchild. My friend was bereft, rejected by her own child.

Hmmm. I told her that when I was thirty years old and divorced from the man that my mother encouraged me to marry, I didn’t talk to her for over a year. My mother’s power made me furious. When she called me crying, I spoke briefly and hung up quickly. I dismissed her ruthlessly.

Fast forward four years. I’m in the hospital giving birth to my first baby. I stand up and faint, and the nurse tells me that when I gained consciousness, I was calling for my mother.

She was the best grandmother in the world.

So mothers and daughters that love and reject each other, your blood line is strong, irrevocable, and as red as a valentine heart.

Coco Chanel saw the fishermen in Deauville, so the legend goes, and was enchanted by their striped boat-neck shirts made of soft  jersey.

She modernized women’s fashion, and gave them the little black dress, clusters of pearls, style and comfort.

Now stripes are back! Just not in your hair. If you leave your favorite salon with stripey highlights. go straight to Bewitched Salon for the revolutionary color system, the Geo Palette.

Get fabulous hair color and design, diffused, gorgeous, lustrous color that would have caught Coco’s eye.

Treat yourself for the holiday. Coco Chanel would approve.

Keeping up with fashion can be hard on the pocket…so start small, with a fun accessory from Forever 21 or Mandee’s…(yes, you can be over thirty, and it will cost you under ten!)

Right now I’m sporting a chunky eight dollar wristlet in fake gold. Fabulous!

Or drag out some of your old discarded wear…today, I’m clad in tights with flowers on them, circa 1980. My sweater is beaded (circa 1940), with a Saks label in it, courtesy of Grandma Rebecca, G-d rest her fashion loving soul.

People will notice, even if it’s just the thrift shop or your own closet that you’ve raided.

Hair color, on the other hand, is another matter. Celebrate your own uniqueness with our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette. You won’t find it in a thrift shop, at a discount salon, or in your closet.

Re-invent yourself with fabulous brand-new color, an edgy cut, or both, at Bewitched Salon, 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY. 516 374-1490

Results can be seen at Geo Palette on Facebook or at www.geopalette.com.

Eyebrows will raise. Compliments will follow.

Hey, Dolce & Gabbana…if I walked into Bewitched wearing your 
leopard top paired with your polka dot pencil skirt, everyone would laugh. So here are a few more FASHION GRIPES:

How the hell do you wash a top with built in jewelry? Won’t it rust?

The equestrian look: where’s my horse? Or do I look like a jackass?

Can I choose outer beauty over inner? Do I have my pick?

Why do man-made shoes feel better? Because I’m richer?

Ten inch pumps…what am I, a skyscraper?

The nude look: why am I wearing makeup?

Why would anyone choose the conventional highlight over the Geo Palette Hair System? ANSWER: They wouldn’t. Try the most cutting-edge color/cut system ever. Go to www.geopalette.com to see the results.

No gripes about it, just pure delight in your fabulous color!

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.

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..

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.

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!

We have some very attractive women working at Bewitched, and we’ve found that when we dress all in black, rockin’ the high heels, and glance at our slenderized bodies in the mirror, we eat more!
Or, if we’re working our “spanx” and other slimming garments, we say yes to that cookie with our cup of coffee!
Or, if we’re sporting a great outfit, and a flowing top that hides our stomachs over a tight pair of skinny jeans, we feel…well, skinny. So great that we eat the bread AND butter at dinner!
There is no solution to the dilemma. Dressing to play up our strengths and hide our figure flaws will always make us look thinner. Enjoy that handful of m & m’s…and have fruit later on.
Or come to Bewitched Salon for the most fabulous color ever…www.geopalette.com. Revolutionary!
(Join us for bagels on Fridays and Saturdays…just remove the doughy part, enjoy, and get the best color any where!)

The Geo Palette in action!

The new look for fall includes saddlebags….in leather, not as a body part!

Rugged booties are all the rage as well…on our feet, not raggedy rear ends!

We still love our pencil skirts, but do we need bodies like pencils to wear them? We think not. Watch Christina Hendricks in Mad Men for a real woman with curves. Love it.

Skinny pants are still rampant, and with the right top and shoes, everyone can wear them.

The Geo Palette Hair System serves up hair with an autumn flair….come in for revolutionary color and a disconnected cut, fresh for fall, at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, or look at our website, www.geopalette.com for the future of hair!
