This year, International Women’s Day welcomes all women with the theme of choosing to challenge. We face challenges every day, and by choosing to face them without giving up, we grow into strong, empowered women. This week, Atome wants to give a shout-out to some of the incredible bosses we’ve met in our journey so far. Their brands have been built through the grit and grind of some awe-inspiring women.

Check out our interview with these bosses, and read on to find out more about them and their brands.

Wendi Chan entered the skincare scene with a fresh, bold idea back in 2005. At a time when beauty salons were thought to be zen and relaxing, Wendi opened up a funky, groovy and party-themed beauty salon that has expanded exponentially in Singapore. Having worked hard for more than a decade, Pink Parlour is now known as an award-winning waxing salon. Even though the business lost a lot of money when it first started, Wendi didn’t give up. Instead, she innovated ways to keep her business going, and transformed Pink Parlour into the go-to waxing salon that it is today. 


TheVelvetDolls, founded by Yina Goh

TheVelvetDolls has become a significant brand with a vast online presence with their offerings of quality clothes at affordable prices. The brand’s belief in providing style, quality, and fits has aided them in creating a unique collection that can’t be easily replicated. TheVelvetDolls’ offer a signature appeal with their vibrant colours and statement prints, providing their customers with an experience they can’t find elsewhere.

The process of starting and maintaining TheVelvetDolls was no easy feat, but letting go of her dream was not an option for Yina Goh. Yina left her corporate job to start this online boutique, which has now become an acclaimed Singaporean fashion store. With an aim to cater to women of all sizes, Yina founded TheVelvetDolls at the mere age of 23. Managing every part of the business herself at first, Yina worked hard to build the brand into what it is today.

Man Man started Mikayla from scratch in 2017, vigorously working to not only offer beautiful garments, but also membership services and garment care to her customers. The clothing label is close to its fifth anniversary because of the new business verticals that Man Man is unafraid to take up. Her inventive ideas and eye for fashion has kept the clothing brand growing.
