EJae: When did you start working with celebrities and what was your first gig?
Cesar: The first salon I worked in had celebrity clients so I had exposure at an early time in my career but Elizabeth Berkeley booked me for my first freelance gig.

EJae: Cassie's hair has always been fab. Her darker hair gave her such an exotic look, yet the lighter hair and shaved side gave her a bit of an edge. What was the inspiration behind the transformation?
