The beauty artists
on Vanitee really
strive to make their
clients look and
feel good
IT’S A
BEAUTIFUL
LIFE
DOUGLAS GAN, CO-FOUNDER OF
BEAUTY SERVICES APP VANITEE,
SHARES HIS SUCCESS SECRETS AND
TALKS ABOUT HIS PASSION FOR THE
BEAUTY INDUSTRY
W
ondering where
you can find a great
manicurist, brow
artist or hairstylist in
Singapore? There’s an
app for that. It’s called Vanitee, and
it connects customers with the best
beauty service providers on the island.
You can save time and trouble by
choosing highly rated beauty artists,
booking salon appointments or house
calls, and paying for your services
– all through the one app.

Insider I IN PROFILE
Entrepreneur Douglas (second from

Hire a beauty
pro quick as

were many talented and
dedicated manicurists,
makeup artists, massage
therapists, and the like
out there, and I wanted
to connect them with
people who were always
looking for the best of
such service providers.
It’s not just about making
money or selling someone
a treatment package; the
beauty artists on Vanitee
really strive to make their
clients look and feel good.
QWhat’s your advice for
new entrepreneurs?
If you want to start
something, go all in or
don’t bother. Second,
ideas are cheap.
Execution is what really
matters. Third, think
about what you’ll do when
your business has grown
– you must be willing to
bring together different
kinds of people to help
you take the business to
the next level.
QWhat drives you to
come up with amazing
business ideas?
I’ve always wanted to
make an impact on the
world. I didn’t want to
stand on the sidelines
and wait for things to
happen. I wanted to be in
the centre of the action,
and to be in a position
where I could invent and
make people’s lives easier.
Some innovations have
a novelty factor, but my
innovations are, I believe,
purposeful and practical.
QWhy does the beauty
industry appeal?
Beauty is such an
interesting industry and
there are so many services
out there. It’s also that
the beauty industry is
recession proof – in a
bad economy, people
are still known to spend
money on beauty
products and services.
I knew that there
virtual salon. The average
salon in Singapore has
five beauty professionals;
Vanitee has more than
1,700, which translates to
340 salons island wide.
QHow did you come up
with the idea for it?
At the time, my partners
and I were running
VanityTrove, a social
network for people who
loved beauty products.
We noticed a gap in
the market for beauty
services and thought: you
can book a movie ticket
or a hotel room online
quite easily, but why is it
so hard to locate a good
beauty service provider?
People wanted more than
just to read reviews of
beauty salons on the net.
They wanted to know
where they could find the
best and most affordable
beauty services in their
area. It took us six months
to bring our idea to life.
Douglas Gan, co-founder,
CEO and chairman of
Vanitee, launched the app
in May 2015. Since then, it
has won multiple awards
and partnered with major
mobile applications
and banks in Singapore.
In the first quarter of this
year, it was handling more
than S$20,000 a day.
QWhat makes Vanitee
special?
Vanitee makes life easier
for Singapore-based
beauty service providers
and their customers – I
like to think of it as a huge

17. What Our Users Have To Say
“After I made my booking, the app recorded my appointment under “Bookings”. I like it that they
indicated the duration of the service, and I can inform my boyfriend regarding the time to pick me
up. Also, the location and map is also provided within the app, I was able to find the shop with ease.”
Ying Jie
“After browsing through the works and artists for the new trends on eyelash extensions, i found
sweetbliss! Prices for all beauty services on Vanitee are listed clearly and all beauty artists have been
verified by Vanitee. So no worries of getting cheated by hidden charges or anything.”
Siu Yin
“Patricia was very professional and friendly. I was a little undecided on the colour and she has really
good patience with me! I am really satisfied with her service and as a Vanitee member, you get to
review your nail artist on the app.”
Michelle
“It was a refreshing experience compared to so many salons which try to push more expensive
packages onto customers.”
