Per the usual solid designs. Fits the brand and the industry as a whole, I think either design is a good direction. I'm leaning towards the second it's a little less busy but like I said either one.

Always on point. Both are great. I do like the idea of the home page of design 1 possibly combined with the second page of design 2 for your content pages through out the site. Great job!

You've two solid designs here.

Personally, I think the second design is a nose ahead of the first. I like that it's cleaner and simpler than the first design. I think that focuses on, and brings forward, the photographs which is really critical for a fashion website. I also like the human hair colored gradient in the background. Maybe have it be different colors for different sections.

The only real problem I have with it is I think the navigation needs to be made bolder or a slightly different color in order to stand out against the rest of your content.

Otherwise, very good work.

Whinona-
Great start! I like the second design more. I think using the images on the home page is really eye catching and the gradient really adds to the depth of the design. Great job!

I like the first one - it says HAIR. The picture actually is screaming HAIR and if I had any that needed styling I would go to a place that says HAIR.

Wow these both look amazing really professional. I like the second design better I love that it has more images and the gradient affect in the background. My only suggestion would be for the navigation buttons they are a bit small so maybe make them a little larger or something else to make them stand out more but other than that great designs!

I like design two. The feel to this one makes me think hair salon, I feel the gold bar adds a touch that I wasn't seeing in the first. Good design!

Great designs. I really enjoy the home page of design 1, but i also like the background gradient for the second design. This is another site that is hard to critique because its done so well. I'm not sure what you could do to improve your site. Those hair design photos are awesome.
