Creativity: Addicted to the “dope” in dopamine…

Here at Bewitched, we’re at our happiest when we are creating…whether it’s brand-new color with the Geo Palette, or an edgy primal cut via scissors. Our Three-tiered System: O*Mai curl softening, the Geo Palette, and keratin smoothing, transforms hair like straw into manageable shiny tresses…magic!

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…

at Bewitched, we paint color on geometric planes, and our clients are ecstatic. Ahh, fresh new color: check out our cool clean blonds,  our rich autumn reds or our radical new violets!

Too BROKE for fashion? Re-invent yourself!

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.

If you THINK the compliment, make someone’s day….and tell them.

We had a new client come into Bewitched today, and she wasn’t popular. She glowered at the shampoo person, and wasn’t much nicer to the manicurist. But when she walked toward me, she glided, so gracefully, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I told her so, and she lit up, her smile my reward.
After that, she was sweeter to everyone.
From now on, if I THINK it, I say it. I might make someone’s day, and in the process, she might make our day better.
Come in and get our Geo Palette, color sweeter than anyone’s…brighter, more cutting edge OR subtle, gorgeous, revolutionary.
Call us at 516 374-1490 for an appointment, or check out www.geopalette for results.
Compliments will flow, unbidden.
You won’t feel grouchy any more.

Does Snooky deserve to be a Halloween costume?

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!

Why can’t I remember to buy blueberries, when they will help my memory?

Today I woke up to a bowl of oatmeal without my blueberries. A lack of memory has been plaguing me lately, and I know I can blame it on lots of things. My age. Overload. Stress. Too much reality t.v. The list goes on.

So I raced to the supermarket only to find that blueberries have gone up to five dollars for a small carton. The raspberries were $1.99. But I don’t think they help your memory. (I looked it up, but who can remember?)

I figured I’d ration them out, twenty blueberries a bowl, and make the carton last.

Or maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ll forget how much I paid for the blueberries that will improve my memory.

What I DO remember is that I’ve never gotten more compliments on my hair, following my recent Geo Palette color. It’s the most revolutionary new color system anywhere, and I actually had someone follow me into Gristedes in NYC to ask where I got my color done. When I told her Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, she looked at me as though I wanted her to fly to the moon. But we are simply a subway ride away for the most fabulous color, only available here, or at the Beehive in Brooklyn, or select salons in Florida.

Try it. You won’t need blueberries to remember you how much you love it.

The Weather = Frizzy Hair and Sinis Headaches

Here at Bewitched, clients are frazzled and frizzy from the nasty weather. Sinis headaches linger as the rain drizzles on. We give them coffee and bagels, an advil or two, and a keratin treatment to lift their spirits.
Our three-tiered special is a huge hit…Omai curl softener for difficult hair, the Geo Palette for gorgeous color, and a keratin treatment to give the hair health and shine.
Compliments to follow. And sun is on the way.
