Your code so far

let contacts = [
  {
    firstName: "Akira",
    lastName: "Laine",
    number: "0543236543",
    likes: ["Pizza", "Coding", "Brownie Points"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Harry",
    lastName: "Potter",
    number: "0994372684",
    likes: ["Hogwarts", "Magic", "Hagrid"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Sherlock",
    lastName: "Holmes",
    number: "0487345643",
    likes: ["Intriguing Cases", "Violin"],
  },
  {
    firstName: "Kristian",
    lastName: "Vos",
    number: "unknown",
    likes: ["JavaScript", "Gaming", "Foxes"],
  },
];

function lookUpProfile(name, prop){
for(let i=0; i < contacts.length; i++ ){
    if(contacts[i].firstName === name){
      if(contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop)){
        return contacts [i][prop];
      }else{
        return "No such contact"
      }
    }
}
return "No such property"
}

notice how one of these is always going to execute, so if contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop) was false, you return "No such contact", note that this was when contacts[i].firstName === name was true

but if contacts[i].firstName === name is always false, then you return "No such property"

is this what you are asked to return?
