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.
