  I looked at my tomato with love today. It had morphed in front of my eyes. It was red, my favorite color, but it had become a heart. So ordinary, yet so extraordinary, it was pleasing to the eye.

Change up your hair color. Make an ordinary red become extraordinary with the Geo Palette Hair System. Add some pumpkin, or spice, or mahogany or aubergine. A pinch of cayenne pepper, or a twist of paprika. A celebration of hair color, in time for Thanksgiving.

The Geo Palette team wishes all of you, everywhere, a sweet holiday full of love, and change, and and beauty, and art.

A tomato with heart. Something different. Be thankful and celebrate life, every day.

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

“Being your authentic self” has been bandied about since the nineties: in self-help books, on Oprah, and lately, with politicians. But what if your authentic self is nasty? Or selfish? Or out of control?

Maybe the goal should be to become a better person. For me, I have to edit myself more (read: keep my mouth shut), be more open-minded, and learn to curb my temper. Storming out of the room doesn’t work if the person you’re mad at doesn’t follow.

My authentic self is artistic. But my authentically lazy self might not do another painting. So it takes a little more than authenticity to change my ways. It takes hard work and will-power.

Changing your hair at Bewitched Salon with the Geo Palette Hair System is easy, liberating, and revolutionary.  Make an appointment for the Geo Palette and let us bring out the authenticity that we know best…being authentically beautiful.

I’m sure the Toronto policeman whose remark about women who dress like sluts inviting unwanted advances (read sexual abuse) is astounded by the movement he inadvertently caused: the slut walk.

A series of protests in which scantily dresses women take to the city streets makes the statement that women should be able to wear whatever they choose without being fearful. Our bodies, our choice, and no one has the right to make a move or a touch without our consent.

So if your daughter leaves the house with the word “slut” written across her cheek, don’t despair. We march for the cause that stirs our passion, don’t we?

On a lighter note, if you will allow me, I march for fabulous color. The Geo Palette. I’m on my umpteenth Palette, and when I hit the streets, I’m bombarded by compliments. Call me at 516 374-1490 for an appointment. Color better than the traditional foil. Nothing written on my cheek….yet.

The message? Looking fabulous.

Visit our flagship salon, Bewitched Salon at 956 Broadway, Woodmere, NY for color by our certified Geo Palette artists! Also available at Bewitched in Woodmere, Beehive in Islip, and C3 in Port Washington.

When I get mad, a colleague of mine says I remind her of the Countess. “Go back to your cabinet, witch,” comes to mind, a remark the Countess recently sent straight to Alex McCord’s heart on their Moroccan trip.  Okay, I admit that I’m prone to giving a quick jab myself, and sailing out the door.

Ramona recently became a basket case, unable to spar with the loud and louder Jill, and reduced to sobs while moaning, “She’s not listening to me,” over and over. Not my kind of sparring.

Sonya gets nuttier and nuttier, and tends to follow in the Countess’s footsteps, waving a hand dismissively, and fluttering off.

Kelly hates any confrontation at all, calling Alex’s anger “inauthentic” several times in a row, interspersed with “STOP! STOP!” Alex is reduced to looked bug-eyed, reminding us of Ramona’s famous runway walk.

If Jill rants, Cindy sulks. “These women are nuts!” she exclaimed the other day. You joined them, baby.

Come to Bewitched Salon for anger management by coloring your hair with the Geo Palette, our fabulous new system for coloring hair! We have vibrant reds that surpass Jill’s color, soft diffused blonds that would benefit Alex’s new modeling career, a range of color that would enhance Kelly’s image, rich classy browns that the Countess would adore. And you’ll leave ecstatic.

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.

Steven Tyler has lead a charmed life, full of highs and lows, talent and tenacity, addiction and depression.

He developed Hepatitis C and was misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. He had damage to his throat, and a foot disease (Morton’s neuroma) that left him crippled (and addicted to painkillers.)

Aerosmith threatened to fire him. His wife left him. His mother died. His children were terrified that he would die as well, his depression ran that deep.

But rehab worked, his soul was revived, and Steven’s supreme spirit emerged once again. American Idol anointed him one of America’s jewels, and he was back and more loved than ever.

“Hell-fire save matches, f…k a duck and see what hatches” is part of Tyler folklore. We adore him.

Here at Bewitched, we suggest a simpler solution to leaving your misery behind. Rehab is great, of course. But how about rehabilitating your hair with the revolutionary new color system called the Geo Palette?

Re-invent yourself without the drugs and the drama. They will storm you in the street with compliments, and you won’t fall off the stage.

A friend and client recently told us that she left Bewitched Salon Salon with her new “do”, and felt wonderful…that rush of endorphins, a feeling of well-being.

Then she got into the car, turned on the radio, and heard a report about a new study: feeling good about your hair actually makes you physiologically healthier! Okay, so we looked up physiology, and just to get the story straight, this means that our normal bodily functions and activity are improved!

Translation: Try our fabulous Geo Palette coloring and cutting, nowhere else in the world. You will actually feel, look and BE healthier.

Happy New Year from Bewitched.

When it comes to a long term relationship, studies say, men care more about the face than the body.

A new study claims that participants had the option of looking at either the head or body, and were asked to relate their importance. Apparently, it depended on intent. If the male was told to consider the person as a long term partner, he chose the face.

If it was a fling, he chose the body.

Which leads us to believe, at Bewitched Salon, that if you want a long term relationship, you had better come and get our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette, (see www.geopalette.com for results, or our Three-tiered Transformation, a day of beauty that turns difficult hair into beautiful tresses with our O*Mai curl softening, Geo Palette, and keratin treatment.

Want a long term relationship? Well, your face is important…and your hair is the crown!

Call us at 516 374-1490 for an appointment. We can’t find you a date…be we WILL make you look great!
