  • Cassandra Hennessy

    Blonde Specialist

    I’m Cassandra, but you can call me Cass! I grew up in Wisconsin and moved to Chicago in 2019 to pursue a path as a Blonde Specialist training under industry leaders and educators to enhance my client experience. In this I found familial friendships with clients that I couldn’t imagine doing this without, a love for Chicago, and quite honestly… some of the best dirty martinis! Following in my entrepreneurial family footsteps, I took the plunge in 2022 to go off on my own as a small business and independent stylist. It was scary and thrilling, and now I can’t imagine things any differently!

    I’m a new mom to the most beautiful baby girl, a wife, a celiac girly who just wants a croissant, and a confidant for anyone who sits in my chair. Cheers to Bringing California Blonde to Chicago each appointment at a time!
