Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe recently sent a clear signal to hair vendors across social media, announcing her readiness for a complete style overhaul. The popular film star invited businesses to present their best offerings in her comment section, vying for her patronage as she seeks a fresh, new look.
In a candid, selfie-style video shared on Wednesday, October 7, Aigbe directly addressed her followers with her trademark humour. She openly expressed dissatisfaction with her current collection of wigs, humorously noting that even some borrowed from fellow actress Emilia were no longer meeting her aesthetic standards.
Judy Austin Enters the Fray
The actress’s public call for vendors quickly garnered significant attention, including an unexpected response from businesswoman and actress Judy Austin. Known as Yul Edochie’s second wife and a recent entrant into the hair business sector, Austin was among the first to pitch her services to Aigbe.
While numerous other hair vendors also flooded the comment section with their proposals, it was Judy Austin’s comment that particularly captured the online spotlight. Her celebrity status and recent venture into the hair industry, combined with her notable personal history within the Nigerian entertainment scene, made her response stand out.
Austin’s participation, however, ignited a lively debate among netizens. Some social media users speculated that she was leveraging Mercy Aigbe’s platform for opportunistic business promotion. Others, however, defended her right to respond to a public invitation for vendors, arguing that she was simply engaging like any other entrepreneur.
