#dearsundays

For our Fall 2017 Success Stories series, we featured Amy Ling Lin, the twenty-something Founder and CEO of sundays studios. Since opening sundays in March of 2017, Amy has been featured in Vogue, the New York Times, Elle, InStyle, and Wall Street Journal, to name a few. AWIB members and supporters gathered in her NoMad studio, listening intently as she shared her story to success.

Amy described sundays' concept as encompassing "more than just nail painting"; emphasizing the experience of coming to the salon to relax and meditate. The nail care products used at her facilities and sold online were developed by Amy and are all non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan, ensuring an environment free of harmful chemicals. The environment she has created protects the customers as well as the workers. As she moves forward, Amy indicated that one of sundays' next steps in wellness and meditation would be to develop signature-scented candles, which would make a good addition to her nail polish line of 50 different shades. There is no doubt that Amy will continue to make a splash in the world of health and wellness.

Towards the end of the evening, we had a raffle draw where three attendees received gift certificates for signature sundays manicures, and five others received both gift certificates and a selection of three sundays nail polish.

We thank sundays studio for sponsoring the event and providing delicious and healthy lite bites.  And, most of all, we thank Amy for sharing her story with us!

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Success Stories: Amy Ling Lin - Twenty-Something CEO

Join AWIB as we take an up close and personal look at Asian women entrepreneurs at their place of business for our Success Story series. This is a great opportunity to get an "inside scoop" on running a business straight from the women behind it all. For the Fall, we are featuring Amy Ling Lin, the twenty-something Founder and CEO of sundays studios. Innovative, thoughtful, and entrepreneurial, when Amy started her own chain of studios, it was an immediate success and the proceeds paid for tuition at Columbia Business School, where she graduated with an MBA in 2016.

From first hand knowledge, Amy realized how harmful the ingredients in nail polish are - to both the customer and employee - and from this, sundays was born. Sundays' nail care products and services are non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan, ensuring an environment free of the toxins that come with traditional nail polishes. Amy's studios are fashioned like spas, creating an open, peaceful environment, and offer massages and guided meditation in addition to hand and foot treatments. With locations in NoMad and Saks Fifth Avenue, she has already built a name for herself and has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Wall Street Journal, Refinery29, and InStyle, to name a few. Between running her studios, hosting off-site events (i.e. Henri Bendel and other upscale venues), and selling her nail care products, Amy Ling Lin's success story is only just beginning. A lucky few will win raffle prizes of gift cards for sundays' services and a sampling of non-toxic nail polish. All will be treated to this unique opportunity to get to know Amy as we relax in sundays' second floor lounge over drinks and lite bites while networking with the AWIB community.
