Nicky Lazou and Lydia Millen’s drama from 2020 has resurfaced, albeit indirectly, once more. Read on to find out what happened and everything the two have said.
Hairdresser Nicky Lazou is popular in the online beauty community, with 75,000 Instagram followers and 24,000 subscribers. She regularly acts as hairstylist to known influencers, including Lydia Millen.
Although the pair seemed to have a good working relationship, both have confirmed that is no longer the case.
Lydia Millen’s YouTube video
Yesterday, February 8th, Lydia uploaded a video to her channel titled: “Opening up, the last nine months.”
In the video, she updated fans on a few changes in her life in recent months, including the passing of her grandfather and her disappointment in the launch of her tan company. “I kind of want to wipe the slate clean,” she said.
She prefaces the drama by claiming that the “first blow” of recent months was the launch of her company Glo, which received bad reviews: “I was in such a state of shock and heartbroken because I’d poured my heart into something.”
However, she eventually addressed the drama with Nicky Lazou, and gave her view on the situation:
“Then I was put into a position that I didn’t know was a vulnerable position, and I ended up in a person’s house alone and I quickly realised that I was vulnerable in that position. I let the person know that I wasn’t in a good place, and that I was quite delicate and unfortunately my client confidentiality was breached and I was gaslit into believing that something took place that didn’t and that this person had something that they could hold over me to stop me from talking about what happened.”
So, what is the drama?
The original drama began in summer of 2020, after Lydia was reportedly unhappy with her hair, and told her YouTube channel.
Lydia however faced allegations of rude behaviour during the hair appointment, and allegations of making Nicky cry.
Although Nicky was relatively quiet about the situation, she responded to a comment that asked: “Are you allowed to share what happened? I’ve seen a lot on her YouTube about not being happy with her hair which I assumed was done by you?”
“All I will say is we are happy that we never have to see her again,” she replied.
As mentioned, Lydia however has denied this in her YouTube video.
Nicky Lazou responded to Lydia’s YouTube video
Nicky took to Instagram to respond to Lydia’s latest YouTube video, posting a statement to her story:
“Thank you for all the DM’s on the recent YouTube video. I am so grateful for all the support and I finally feel ready to open up. I will be filming my video about this past year and my experiences. I feel like we have a platform to inspire and help others. I don’t think it’s fair to have to be silenced. Just because some of us come across as strong it does not mean that we have no issues or that we don’t take things to hear, it does not mean that we don’t cry or feel like giving up at times. I’m not one to ask for sympathy as I just get on with life and look at the positives but it does not mean that this way of thinking comes easy to me! It’s a battle but I have people to supports and pay wages so I carry on as if life is magical which I still believe it is but we have to face our fears and move on with it. I’ve been asked to stay quiet and professional but I feel I am a professional no matter what and it’s time to show these people that we are not afraid.”
She followed the statement up with screenshots of messages of support from friends and followers.
Today, Nicky Lazou uploaded her side of the story in video form to her Instagram. Nicky reiterates and goes into further detail about her claims of Lydia’s alleged behaviour during the appointment.
