Cassandra Kennedy Beauty

If I have a free Sunday I would spend it …
Truly ideal would be spending it discovering a new town in a foreign country. The home version starts off leisurely at a trendy coffee shop with a latte' and a legit croissant while I read a fashion magazine and check my daily political articles. Then I browse boutiques filled with paper, pens, inks, ribbons, prints, candles, and antique stamps, glassware, typewriters and first edition books. I stop in to catch a new exhibition at an art museum before heading home to hear how my kids' day was. I am delighted to find that my husband has braved the lines at the famous pizza place to bring us our favorite (ha! he would never). I stay up late with the cat to watch a period romance movie. Fin!

"I fell in love with Cassandra at my trial, which was the first time we met and when my wedding rolled around I felt like we were old friends. My mother and sister were absolutely enchanted with her as well. We all felt beautiful and flawless all day long (both my hair and my makeup didn't budge at all, but still looked so dewy and fresh and natural). Apart from actually saying "I do," the time spent with Cassandra were the best hours of my wedding day and memories I will treasure for the rest of my life."

"Working with Cassandra and her team for my wedding hair and makeup was honestly a dream come true. Cassandra is an amazing person – she truly cares for her clients so much and I felt like she was so invested in me and my wedding weekend. She was so kind and accommodating at each stage of the process. She and the hair stylist worked together to design my welcome party and wedding day look – they are both so talented. Cassandra's entire team also helped my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful. Cassandra's lovely and calming presence truly had such an important impact on my wedding day – she anticipated every move and need throughout the day. I loved having her there for seamless touch ups throughout the morning, pre-wedding photos, and after the ceremony before our first dance and reception. I loved every part of working with Cassandra and her team and truly couldn't recommend her more highly – I can't imagine my wedding day without her!"
