I'm new, not only to this forum but also to Web Design. I just finnished school and I have only one web site (well, two if you count one I did FREE for my church).

This web site has been created for a while now, but I never really got any advice about the whole design from other designers. I think your comments will help me in the furture when designing other sites. I didn't quite like some of the looks on this site, but my client did, so hey.... for the money, he got what he wanted :D

Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure if this is one of the things that you disliked or not but I think the stretched picture is kindof disrespectful to the photographer who took it, not to mention it kinda looks bad. In the future I would avoid stretching the photo in only one axis, even if it suits the proportions you need.

Otherwise everything seems alright. Good start, good luck in the future :)

Yep. You guested it. The pictures doesn't set well with me, and I'm not too sure about the color either. Anyway, the pictures is actually a painting.

Nice site - considering its your first, however i think you need to think more about which elements you use flash in. Its a bit slow loading and navigation because of this gets quickly annoying.

But best of luck with your ventures

The slowness turned me off to it too. I don't know if you meant for the pixellated images in your intro, but it doesn't fit at all for a sleek Hollywood hair designer. The intro is very long too, speeding it up and shortening it would be a better way to introduce your site. The global nav disappears in some places, like in the gallery. It should present on subpages too. You seem to have had a lot of images to work with though, adding one to the text pages, like the about page, would make it more interesting visually. Not a bad effort for a first web site, keep working at it.
