By Lori Simmons Zelenko

Though Beth Minardi can certainly count celebrities from Sarah Jessica Parker to Christie Brinkley and a host of Hollywood’s leading men among her clients, she is genuinely committed to improving the lives of real men and women not only by creating the most perfect hair color imaginable but caring for the hair as well.

In fact, Beth is known as the world’s leading hair color authority. Her reputation is based on her creativity and genuine artistry but it’s her knowledge of chemistry, how hair color actually works to improve the hair that makes the difference. After all, she has a product line that is cherished by stylists in salons across the country – from Minardi signature color to conditioning treatments and beyond, Beth knows how to nourish hair.

“As the seasons change and the Holidays approach, our feelings about color evolve as well,” Beth reminds us. “Clothing and makeup tones signal that something new is in the air. Today hair color has become the makeup we never take off.” How to keep color exciting and flattering and party-ready for the festive season? “I guide my clients to maintaining both a color level and a tone that is ‘right’ for them. Part of my work centers around creating that perfect shade that accents an individual’s own personal palette: Skin depth and tone, eye color and natural hair color and texture, as well as personality, all provide signals that I use to keep my color clients ‘color perfect’.”

What’s her advice then for firelit evenings and mistletoe kisses? “Be bold! Step out of your safety zone. Re-energize your look, it’s time to make a statement that turns heads,” she joyfully shares, forecasting that there will be no mousy looks this Holiday. “Let the mice stay onstage in The Nutcracker Suite!” What will hold the spotlight will be brilliant, illuminated shades.

Blondes will have shimmering strands of snow white or ivory intermingled with pale walnut. Reds will be dramatic, strong copper tones, even hints of crimson. Brunettes will be glamorous, shades of cappuccino or café au lait will glow around the face.

The answer is a bolder, more dynamic version of yourself; it’s time rev up the glamour quotient, don’t stick with the same old, same old. “It’s your chance,” she says, “to make a fresh start, to get in the game in an exciting new way.

When I got into my late thirties I started noticing ED problems. Nothing major, but it was noticeable. I have found that with using Kamagra jelly that my problems have all but disappeared.
