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

I just got my color done with the Geo Palette Hair System, and there I was, standing at the gas pump pumping gas I can’t afford, and a man at the opposite pump said, “I love your hair.”

I said, “Thank you,” and he said, “Where do you come from?”

“Bewitched Salon,” I said, pointing down the street. “Take your girlfriend there, and she can get the best color ever.”

He then asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend, and I thought, This is creepy, but I have to admit, his remark about my hair was refreshingly simple.

Sometimes, a pick-up line is nice. I’m not saying that I want someone to point at my butt and say, “Is this seat taken?” But when we’re old and gray (okay, maybe never), I think we might just miss it.

So go to Bewitched at 956 Broadway, Woodmere, NY for the Geo Palette, the most fabulous color ever. Brand spankin’ new, and you can’t get it anywhere else unless your salon is certified. (Bewitched in Woodmere, C3 in Port Washington, Beehive Islip, and Karisma, Tampa, and more to follow.)

We’re not responsible for the cheesy pick-up lines. But if a guy at the gas pump says your hair looks beautiful, you can believe it.

Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. And if somebody tells you that you’re responsible for global warming, because you look that hot,  well…please forgive us.

A good friend of mine was watching a neighbor’s dog for a week, and lost him. He ran out the door and was gone. Hundreds of fliers later, along with days of worrying, and my harried friend lost eight pounds!

After several phone calls about dogs that were too big or too small, a good Samaritan found him. Pale and svelte with her new figure, my friend could finally sleep again.

Here at Bewitched Salon, at 956 Broadway, in Woodmere, NY, we suggest an easier way to drop some weight…

Lose pounds of hair misery and look ten years younger by transforming your hair with the Geo Palette Hair System. Glorious color, for a walk in the park, no dogs involved. Give us a call at 516 374-1490, and check out our website at www.geopalette.com. Youtube hosts our videos under Geo Palette as well.  -JC

I hope being broke doesn’t shorten my life. And I hope it’s only temporary. I turn down dinner with friends for the same reason…who wants to hear about my money gripes? I can only talk about reality televison or the burglaries in my area or relationships for so long. A glass of wine is good…but that eight dollars might better be saved for gas…guzzle the liquor or have my car guzzle the gas?

Or, would I rather get a shirt, or go out  to eat?

Which brings us to my favorite E.M. Forster line from Howard’s End…”Only connect.”

Should I connect with a person or an article of clothing?

Life is about making choices.

So save your pennies and get the Geo Palette at Bewitched Salon for gorgeous color. It lasts for months, you’ll get tons of compliments, bagels and coffee on Fridays and Saturdays, and “thank you” discounts for our valued clients…buy a card for $400 and get $550, $600 and you’ll get $900 of services.

Do the math, and come on in for a fresh spring look. Shopping therapy that resonates for months.  -JC

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.

And for Valentine’s Day pampering, get some gorgeous color with the Geo Palette Hair System at our flagship salon, Bewitched Salon, here in Woodmere, NY, also available at certified salons in Woodmere, Islip, and Tampa, Florida. Hearts will turn. Flowers will arrive. Chocolate will be given. You will never look better. Call 516 374-1490 for an appointment. Stop by and inquire, or watch the Geo Palette in action.

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.

Visit us at www.geopalette.com to see our results. Or make an appointment at the Geo Palette flagship salon, Bewitched Salon, at 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY. 516 374-1490. Spirits will be lifted. Compliments will follow. JC

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 Salon, the compliment is king…(or queen, for that matter.)

But when a client told me, “You’ve lost weight, haven’t you?”, what did I think? That I must have looked fat before.

The next day, decked out in my new (and very expensive) foundation and concealer, a client commented,

“You’re wearing new makeup! It looks better than that white stuff you usually wear.”

Now, had I known that I was looking like a cosmetic ghost, would I have wanted her to tell me? Possibly not.

The lethal compliment can be tricky.

Okay, there’s more. Last night, a friend remarked, “I love that lipstick you’re wearing! That red color you wore the other day was awful.”

Who asked you?

In life, we know that sugar gets us so much further than vinegar.

So the next time I get a double whammy of a compliment, I’ll do one of two things. I’ll recite my mantra of peace on earth, silently. Or I’ll swear like a sailor, inside my head.

Here at Bewitched, we are the flagship salon for cutting edge color called the Geo Palette. Go to www.geopalette.com and see what we’re doing. Our clients leave with gorgeous color and get unsolicited compliments that are as pure as snow.

Peace on earth, for sure. No muttering under the breath whatsoever. And hurrah for fabulous, revolutionary color. 516 374-1490 to schedule an appointment.
