Avantgarde.fi updated

I'm a a 23 year old female. The most likely client of this site. It doesnt matter that all these men keep saying "shes so hott". Your clients aren't going to look at the site and say "wow she's hott, I should go get a haircut".

This is my opinion as a fashionista and a young female in her 20-somethings...This girl doesnt work. She looks like she's wearing a bikini because you can see those straps under her shirt and her hair is a mess. She's totally at the beach right now. When you spend 100 bucks on your hair, the LAST place you go is to the beach where there's wind.

AvantGarde hair needs to be cutting edge and modern. It needs to challenge things. Wavy long locks are not avantgarde. The picture Ezequiel posted is pretty good. You want someone with an edgy hair cut and vibrant color. Not someone smiling in the wind. Most likely the model you want shouldnt be smiling at all. She should be couture and high-fashion. check out fotolia.com for some better images. They tend to have some high-fashion shots.

I think the rest of the page is good. And switching the model will do wonders for the whole presentation.

It's getting there, and the girl is ok, but I reckon if the girl was a vector illustration, it would give the site more of a cutting edge feel (if you get my drift)...

I agree with Tiffany, who cares if the chick is hot, that's not gonna make me get my haircut... something different will make me want to divulger into the site deeper though, you need o have a point of difference.

Good Luck!

much better =) just missing something

Think about this page without the main image. What I feel is you still have scope to add more details and design elements to the page. Specially on the logo / name area.. It currently looks lost

The concept is nice but I look at the site and I don't think of a hair salon - the focus should be on the hair. Avantgarde means innovative. Look at some sites of high end hair salons and you'll get some inspiration. I think multiple head shots of different 'avantgarde' hair styles would work better. Don't focus on the 'cuteness' of the girl - you want to sell the viewer on the cutting edge hair styles

beautyfully done

This is very nicely done. Just that the face of the girl looks a little plastic when all u have in the bg is so pure and natural with all those sprays and greens and butterflies. I see it again I think it's the eyebrows. but overall very good design.

Hello Miro,

This girl is so much better than previous one, she's really cute! But somehow, too common aswell, and I think she didn't go to any hairdresser that day.

Your design is really cool and really avant garde, I think the lady should reflect the same way.

Please take a look to attachment, this girl shows some mistery and I think that will fit much better. Probably with a better hairstyle too.

Anyways, I hope you find my comment helpful.

Nothing to change)) Congratulations for your great work!))

I like it, but make the content area more interesting, so people will notice it.. That's what important in a site...

I agree with Ezequiel, the girl could be better. BUT - fantastic job. Unique, creative and attractive design. I think you could definitely take it live. :D

Design is great. The girl looks better than the first one, she's cute. Have you already thought about how active/hover links will look like?

I think this is a good start, but I think much of this feedback is going to have to be held back until we see how it functions. The content area looks a little small and unimportant. Try to incorporate the content area to make it look like it's a major part of the design. Lastly, I would move your logo above your navigation.

I don't mind that much if she is a Playboy common style beauty but I would really try to find on other stock photo websites a more edgy haircut (like the one posted by Ezequiel)

.. however having said that I love a picture of a hot girl. One small issue. Her eye brows are painted on. I do not like this look as it makes the girl too fake. There is a great theory on robotic design that when the robot gets so close to life like people detest it. And so it is when girls do these strange things to their lips, eye brows, boobs, ass, and facial surgery. Just look at Courtney Cox, she is a mess. Your girl has a fresh causal look that matches the urban graphics. Make the site speak to what it is about, maybe the text in the pink does that. Not sure can only read English. Nice use of negative space to the left. You might want to get that spray paint area to feel like there is more depth going back into the space.
