Behind the Chair: Candid Conversations with Kara Fades | Digital Social Hour #2

Behind the Chair: Candid Conversations with Kara Fades | Digital Social Hour #2

In today's episode, we're joined by Kara Fades, the talented hairdresser who's been making waves on TikTok. Kara charges a cool $125 for her haircuts and even treats her clients to a hand massage while they sit in her chair. But today's topic of discussion is whether Kara should charge even more for her top-notch services.  Along with co-hosts Matt and Ari Gold, we dive into a variety of topics, ranging from business ideas to the appearance of Daddy Long Neck. We even brainstorm some possible names for a new business venture that offers haircuts and adult services in Nevada.  But we don't stop there. We also talk about the ups and downs of being an influencer, the potential market for butthole shaves (yes, you read that right), and the merits of OnlyFans beyond adult content.  Kara also opens up about nicking a client's genitals during a haircut and confesses to doing one happy ending. But don't worry, she assures us that it's not as sexual as people might think.  Intrigued yet? I thought so. So go ahead and listen to this wild and hilarious episode now. Trust me, you won't regret it.  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Kara Fades charges $125 for haircuts and massages 03:43 A humorous conversation about a massage parlor's services 07:27 Men discussing micro-penises in the context of haircutting 10:55 Discussion about cutting hair and only fans 17:07 A conversation about Anthony Davis' unibrow and expensive facial treatment. 20:56 Possible business prospect combining haircut and strip club 23:55 Using TikTok as a platform to maximize accessibility and increase revenue Sean Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmikekelly Kara Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karasfades/ Ari Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arigoldeth/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/digitalsocialhour/support Learn more about your ad choices.
