From a £10 overdraft to a six-figure business, Holly Fairley shows stylists how to turn social posts into profit, just like she did.
Holly Fairley, founder of Rio Hair, is launching a brand-new business course for 2026, offering a practical training programme designed to help hairdressers, salon owners and hair professionals harness the power of social media to grow their business, brand and income.
Post to Profit is born from Holly’s personal journey, from surviving on a £10 overdraft to scaling a multi-six-figure business. The course is built on real, hard-won experience in both the salon chair and online space. Holly wants hair professionals to step confidently into 2026 with tools that transform their visibility, bookings and profitability.
Holly says: “Social media changed my business and now I want it to help others to do the same. Post to Profit is about more than pretty photos. It’s about building a brand that attracts clients, communicates value, and turns your content into consistent income.”
The course includes:
- Defining your content pillars and strategy
- Connecting with your audience
- How to create content that connects
- A filming and editing workshop
- Captions, hooks and call to action inspiration
- Understanding social growth, analytics and sales psychology
The course reflects Holly’s signature approach, practical, no-nonsense, and rooted in the strategies that helped her build a strong personal brand and thriving hair business online. With social platforms evolving constantly, Post to Profit gives professionals up-to-date tools to stay ahead of the curve.
Attendees will walk away with:
- A completed social audit
- A Post to Profit Workbook containing a content planner
- Step-by-step filming guides, ideas, inspiration and more
- A full month of content ideas planned
- Strategy clarity
- Inspiration, ideas and motivation
Holly adds: “I’m in a unique position to help others in the industry, having experienced many of the challenges they face myself, especially when it comes to growing a business. The course is about building an online presence with authenticity, not comparison, giving professionals actionable steps and not just theory, all while benefitting from community-focused learning.”
Holly has become a respected figure in the hair education space, sharing her expertise with thousands of stylists who now confidently navigate both the creative and digital sides of the industry. Beyond traditional hair education, she has transformed her success into mentorship that helps others scale their business and thrive in the industry.
