Hair Syrup owner 'shouted at for 20 minutes' at festival
However, after arriving at the festival, a group of people sat outside the tent that Lucie and her best friend, Lucy, were staying in, causing a "massive invasion of privacy".
Lucie posted on Tik Tok: 'We've just had a really weird experience this morning, so we were obviously supposed to be at In It Together Festival until tomorrow.
"But we basically had a big group of people sit outside our tent for about 20 minutes, shouting, looking through the windows, being like 'come and speak to us, we want to try your hair oil, we've seen you on TikTok. We found out where you were staying.
"That's obviously not cool, we love meeting people of course but you cannot turn up where we're staying, it's like really a massive invasion of privacy coming to our tent. It's really not cool.
"So, we're not going to stay here again tonight. So, we're not going to be here tomorrow. We just don't feel comfortable, like we've got all our stuff in here, this is where we sleep and it's just not really the vibe and there's no other places we can move to. So, yeah we're actually going to leave this evening."
Following the incident, Lucie and Lucy, otherwise known as the 'The Two Luc's' spent their day without wearing any merchandise or branded t-shirts.
This came after the pair gave out thousands of free samples and had to deal with a four-hour long queue.
Lucie added in a separate post: "We love meeting you guys, but pretty please don't turn up outside where we are staying for 20 minutes shouting at us."
The Newport native appeared on Dragons Den in January 2025 where she appealed for a £190,000 investment from the panel to help her in her quest for 'mass global expansion', in return for a three per cent share in her business which she runs out of Fishguard and Goodwick.
Lucie started her business during the Covid lockdown after looking for something that would keep her hair in good condition for a long time, having found a number of products only had the desired effect for a short period of time.

The EXACT times to list your bits on Vinted – you're guaranteed to sell more during these ‘golden windows'
She also explained why it's always better not to list all your items in one go TIME CRUNCH The EXACT times to list your bits on Vinted – you're guaranteed to sell more during these 'golden windows' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S nothing more frustrating than spending ages posting stuff on Vinted, only for it to get zero views and no favourites.

It's important to spread out when you post your listings too, as she said: "List 3-4 items throughout the day so they keep showing up in the feed and don't get buried". If you're more of a weekend lister, start at 10am on a Saturday and you can go until 1pm, while the next time is 4 to 7pm. On a Sunday, list 10am to 12 midday, and 7 to 9pm.

New Vinted rules to be aware of IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you'll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play. If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax. However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown. You're unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year - generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax. A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit - the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale. However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700. It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe. While your data won't be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you'll still need to pay tax as normal.

High street brands we miss the most in the UK ranked
Buying the latest outfit and taking it home in a snazzy carrier bag was a small joy that made the long queues and crowds bearable. Fast-forward 20 years and the decline of our high street has been inevitable due to the rise of internet shopping and Covid-19. Dozens of banks have shut in recent months, and brands such as Topshop, BHS, Debenhams and Woolworths are now a thing of the past. We all hold nostalgia around what we once loved about our high streets, and now, data has analysed the shops us Brits miss the most. Experts at Liquidation Centre analysed search data revealing the top-searched brands. Top 10 high street brands shoppers want back 1. Debenhams 2. Dorothy Perkins 3. Toys R Us 4. Cath Kidson 5, Thorntons 6, Mothercare 7. BHS 8. Woolworths 9. Miss Selfridge 10. Blockbuster According to the data, it appears that Debenhams is the retailer that most consumers want to see back on their high streets, with a huge 499,000 average monthly online searches. UK High Street Shops That No Longer Exist Boohoo bought the brand and its website in 2021, but didn't buy its high street stores, which eventually closed down. Fans of the brand may be pleased to hear that Boohoo has changed its name to Debenhams, reviving the popular 247-year-old brand. Unfortunately though, physical stores are not expected to return. Could the UK high street ever make a comeback? Sarah Fleming, spokesperson at NerdWallet UK, said: "The UK's retail sector has been hit hard over recent years. Recommended Reading: "The businesses on the high street that will succeed, will be investing in growing their online brand presence across the 'bricks and clicks' online search landscape - the ones that invest in PR, Brand, AI optimisation and social media. "It's why we're seeing such a resurgence in businesses capitalising on Tiktok trends: from M&S's viral launch of the strawberries and cream sandwich that launched in tandem with Wimbledon; to Tesco following suit and releasing a birthday cake sandwich after seeing the success M&S garnered online. "To survive, businesses need to think creatively, about how they grow their businesses away from the physical world and integrate with the online one to stay afloat."
