Celeb hairdresser spends £2,000 dashing to Dubai to be with son during war

When war broke out in the Middle East, Nicky Lazou was running a pop-up hair salon in Mayfair.Having lived in Dubai since 2022 after moving from the West Midlands, it might have been a stroke of luck that she was not in the United Arab Emirates when Iran began its retaliatory strikes following the US-Israel attack which killed its Supreme Leader.But Nicky’s five-year-old son Zion was still in their apartment with his nanny, grandmother and the family’s dog.Nicky was suddenly 4,500 miles away from her family, who were now in a warzone.Even after reuniting with them after spending £2,000 to reach Dubai, Nicky faced barriers to leave with her nanny, who cannot travel to the UK, and her dog.
