Courtney on The Bachelor, the model from Arizona who manipulates her way into Ben Flajnik’s arms, is determined to win. Convincing the ambivalent bachelor to skinny dip in the ocean, she practically fist pumps in delight. “Winning!” is her slogan, grimacing is her style.

For a better version of “winning”, get your hair colored using the Geo Palette Color System. Glorious color that surpasses the highlight in every way, enviromentally “green”, and you will never look better.

The Geo Palette. Winning color, audition-ready. Go to www.GeoPalette.com to see some of our results. You could even win The Bachelor! Just remember not to make all those funny faces.

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.
Go to www.geopalette.com or visit a geo palette certified salon: Bewitched in Woodmere, NY, Beehive Islip, Karisma, Tampa, Fla and more to follow. No politics, coffee and bagels on Friday and Saturday, the best color ever.

I don’t like confrontation, and try to avoid drama. So when an acquaintance screamed like a lunatic at me, spittle hitting my chin, I was a deer in headlights. “Hit me,” she said. “Go ahead and hit me.”

“I don’t hit,” I told her, wondering where my screening skills had gone when it came to weeding out crazies.

For welcome drama, get your hair colored with the Geo Palette Color System. Dramatic color that surpasses conventional highlights, dramatic contrast that lasts and lasts…no sparring or spitting, just gorgeous hair color. Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment to get world class color, without a beating. And you won’t have to wipe the spit off your chin.

See www.geopalette.com or look for the Geo Palette on Facebook. Salons are being certified in the Geo Palette…get revolutionary hair color now.

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.

Cynics and skeptics tell me that Kim K. made bundles from her ten million dollar wedding…that she did it for the money. Certainly her mother is an excellent businesswoman, lining the Kardashian pockets with great business deals for the dynasty she created.

But Kim is in love with being in love. And being in love has little to do with living with someone. She and Elizabeth Taylor have a lot in common: a fondness for bling and boys. Liz married whomever she fell in love with, whatever the consequences. Kim liked the idea of a big wedding to a big lug who bucked her family.

Not to mention three wedding gowns. If reality shows are not reality, how come most of us could see that Kim and the Big Lug were destined to fail? Her ambition soared so far beyond him that it would never work.

What will work is hair color that is radically new. The Geo Palette Hair System is available at our flagship salon, Bewitched Salon, at Bewitched in Woodmere, and in various parts of the United States.

Call us at Bewitched Salon, at 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY, for an appointment with the Geo Palette. Color that lasts longer than Kim’s wedding…yes, longer than 72 days! -JC

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

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.

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”.

Jennifer, our glitter girl

Little girls love glitter and so do big girls. From Byzantine mosaics to strands of tinsel that deck our hair, we are mesmerized by shine. And we’re not alone. Cleopatra loved it, and so did Queen Elizabeth. Henry the VIII bedecked himself with precious stones, but shine has history, doesn’t it?

We follow in their enormous footsteps with haute couture fashion, fabulous makeup, and bedazzled body parts. From the Renaissance to Alexander McQueen, we spin our own web of shine with longer earrings, brighter fabrics, over-sized jewels and hair that dazzles us with shine.

For fabulous hair color that will go down in history, try the Geo Palette Hair System. Our clients love it. Stylists embrace it for the artistry it offers them.

All that glitters is not gold—but oh, how it’s beautiful to behold! -JC

French Vogue editor and Tom Ford muse, Carine Roitfeld,  coined the phrase “glamour bondage”, and had feminists complaining about  images in a recent magazine.

But when we’re strapping on a pair of skyscraper heels, or wearing spanx that make us cry out for oxygen, or sporting a bag that has Citibank owning us, are we really slaves to fashion? Or are we simply slaves to feeling sexy or liberated or hip or gorgeous?

Getting Geo Palette hair color makes us slaves of a different kind.  We become addicted to being followed into the supermarket with the question: “Where did you get your color done?” We like hearing friends tell us, “You’ve never looked better,” or even, “Did you have work done on your face?” They can’t put their finger on it, but it’s our fabulous hair color that lasts for months, with a few root colors in between. Bondage is overtaken by a deep satisfaction that a few hours at Bewitched getting Geo Palette color takes years off our age, reduces wrinkles, and gives us the truest form of liberation: feeling beautiful.

Get it, and discover the magic.
