You are right on this one.

I did the same and it works for me 
.ipython/profile_default/static/css/custom.css

Any file in 
.ipython/profile_default/static/
will overwrite their equivalent if you launch profile_default of course. 
otherwise put the files in the correct profile or make a symlink.

From the test I did, you don't have to restart, just reload.

what does
http://127.0.0.1:8888/static/css/custom.css
give you ? Your file or not ?

Try Safari "web inspector" (Dev menu > web inspector, or Cmd+Alt+i) 
First tab (Element) 
Click Magnifying glass at the bottom and click on a h3 element.
You should be able to inspect its css, where it inherits from on the right now ... etc 
It's a little difficult to explain by mail but by looking at the difference tabs you should be able to determine which file is loaded and why a css is not applied to an element. 

keep us informed.
