About Me

From Los Angeles to Vilnius

Hi, I'm Erika, a permanent makeup artist and the founder of Beyond Brows.

I've worked in beauty for six years. For five of them, I ran my own studio in Los Angeles, a business I built from scratch.

In a city with no shortage of beauty studios and clients who expect a lot, you learn fast what really matters. Brows that look great on day one aren't enough. They have to look natural once they've fully healed.

Now I've moved from Los Angeles back home to Lithuania, and I've brought everything I learned with me to Vilnius.

See you soon,

Erika

Training and experience

  • I'm a US-licensed esthetician and a certified permanent makeup artist. After esthetician school, I chose to focus mainly on brows, with a little love for lashes too.
  • I've put a lot of time and money into my training. I've trained with recognized masters from around the world, completed courses in microblading, powder brows, lip blush and PMU color theory, and added one-on-one sessions to refine my technique.
  • This craft keeps evolving, and so do I. I'm not done learning.
  • P.S. If that's not enough, I also have a degree in journalism, so don't be surprised if we end up chatting and laughing through your whole appointment. I love getting to know my clients.

My studio

  • Beyond Brows is my private studio in Vilnius: a calm, cozy space where you can relax and enjoy your appointment.
  • There's always a good playlist on, so lie back, get comfortable and leave the rest to me.

Common questions

Me in three words

Honest. Perfectionist. Ambitious.

What will you miss most about California?

Sunshine almost all year and how easy everyday life is there. The variety of nature, too: you can ski in the mountains in the morning and surf in the afternoon. And the people. The whole world meets in California, and people are almost always kind and friendly.

What are you most excited about in Lithuania?

Real, natural food and a slower pace of life. In Los Angeles it's easy to get stuck in hustle culture. Here I finally have time for a coffee, a walk and a good conversation.

Favorite Lithuanian snack?

Kepta duona, fried rye bread with garlic. You can't find it in California, so I'm making up for lost time.

What did you bring with you from Los Angeles?

The experience, high standards and the California habit of greeting every client with a smile.

Why brows?

Because brows frame your face. Sometimes just a few millimeters make your eyes look more open and your whole face look rested.

What makes brows beautiful to you?

Brows that suit your face and look natural, not just on day one but a year later.

Any advice before a first procedure?

Come in for a consultation and ask everything you want to know. Look at the healed results, and take your time deciding.

Do you always tell clients the truth?

Yes. If permanent makeup isn't right for you, I'll tell you, and I'll suggest something that is.

What was the hardest part of starting your studio in Los Angeles?

The beginning. New country, no name, no client base. I had to earn every client with my work, and it taught me never to compromise on quality.

Where does your perfectionism show the most?

In the details. I'll redraw a sketch several times until the shape is exactly right. You might not notice, but I will.

Beach or mountains?

Beach. In California, that meant the ocean and endless beaches, each beautiful in its own way.

How do you like to spend a day off?

The gym, a good book or a movie, and dinner at a cozy restaurant in the evening.

If money were no object, what would you do all day?

Travel the world with my family, and still do permanent makeup.

You'll find my healed work on Instagram. Take a look, and when you're ready, book a consultation.
