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.

Is there a link between hair color and behavior? Scientific studies say YES!

In many species, there is a relationship between coat color and behavior. Let’s take the fox, for example. Studies show that the red fox, in proximity to the human being, is shyest at approaching. The silver fox will come closer. and the amber colored fox will venture as close as a foot!  Color affects behavior in deer, cats, dogs, mink, and rats as well!
In our world, we can choose our own special hair color. Does the blonde get more attention, and really have more fun? Does the brunette have more marriage proposals, because she seems more conventional? Does the redhead have a temper to match her hair color?
Here at Bewitched Salon, we help you design your own color… dazzling hues to match the pigment of your eyes and skin.
Blondes will bedazzle.
Redheads will glow.
Brunettes will shatter the conventional bubble.
Our only guarantee is tons of compliments. Whether you party, go to the library, shop, or misbehave, it’s really up to you. But your color will be fabulous!

The Importance of the Involuntary Smile

Here at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, after a haircut or a Geo Palette color, we watch our clients on the sly. They face the mirror, and we are looking for that certain something that we call…the involuntary smile.
It starts in the eyes. And if it isn’t there, we get this feeling of uncertainty. We need to know. We’re dying to know. Does she love her hair?
Because let’s face it. The involuntary smile is our major goal…our client beaming in the mirror, all aglow as we put the final touches on her hair. She can’t help herself…she feels that good!
The Geo Palette Color/cut System is responsible for an abundance of involuntary smiles…we’re not counting, but the air is filled with them.
Try the Geo Palette, or watch a demonstration at www.geopalette.com. We know you’ll be smiling!

“Your smile is fake,” a client told me.

I work at a busy salon that features the revolutionary new color/cut process called the Geo Palette. But I digress.
I was particularly harried, and I cast a smile at a client who comes in regularly. “That’s a fake smile,” she told me.
I was horrified, because she was right!
That evening, I looked in the mirror and practiced. The best smile had warmth in the eyes. But it takes work! Tyra Banks talks about it with her models, and some effort is involved.
I discovered another way. If you lightly press your tongue on the gum under your top teeth, your eyes light up!
Apparently, it has to do with a chakra…
Try it. It works.
And I’ve found from experience that smiling, fake or real, makes me feel better too. Endorphins unite!
For an abundance of smiles about your glorious hair color, get a Geo Palette at Bewitched Salon. www.geopalette.com Beautiful hair, involuntary smiling. Call us at 516 374-1490

If you dress to hide your figure flaws, do you go off your diet?

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!)

Does ageless and chic mean BORING?

Magazines are always talking about the timeless beauty…but does young mean embracing the “fads” of fashion, while older means wearing the classic look…and getting ignored?
We say, mix it up. A striking boot with a sleek camel coat. Minimal doesn’t have to mean looking dull. Neutral navy, gray and black can come out of the closet and into the light with a gorgeous scarf or a chunky piece of jewelry.
Great hair is still a woman’s crowning glory! Check out Geo Palette color for fabulous head-turning hair, at any age. Go to www.geopalette.com or call Bewitched Salon and ask for the Geo Palette. 516 374-1490

Has a sales person ever told you NOT to buy a product? Mine did.

Come to Bewitched, our flagship salon, to get the Geo Palette Color/Cut System

So my friend went back to the shop where she bought her Valerie concealer and foundation for a quick lesson on how to apply it. (Her own application had given her the raccoon look.)
The salesperson was nice about showing her, and added a bit of blush for color.
“How much it that?” my friend asked.
“I’m sure you have something like it at home,” said the woman. “I’m not selling you this.”
It was kind of nice. Since my girlfriend had confessed that she was having money problems, the salesperson had remembered. Now THAT’S service, with a conscience.
For EXCELLENT service and revolutionary color, come to Bewitched in Woodmere for the revolutionary Geo Palette Color System. An abundance of compliments to follow!

If All the Hollywood Movie Stars Use it, Do You Want to?

Revolutionary Color...www.geopalette.com

A fifty something friend of ours went in search of a foundation at a nearby department store.
She stopped at a high-end boutique for some advice, and purchased, on a whim, a “champagne secret” potion sold to Hollywood movie starlets. “She does makeup for the stars,” said the saleslady.
The foundation was nice, not cakey, or mask-like, or unnatural in daylight.
Should she have bought it?
She did, and felt guilty.
(Maybe she should have gotten her color done instead. A color and cut with the Geo Palette is revolutionary. You won’t feel guilty. You might feel elated.) www.geopalette.com, or call Bewitched Salon at 516 374-1490 for an appointment.
