Elaine opened the doors of her salon on Theatre Lane in Greystones during Christmas Week 2010 in the midst of one of the heaviest snow falls the country has ever seen. Thankfully it didn’t put a dampener on her new business and her chosen brand name “Up To My Eyes” has been self prophesying for Elaine, she literally never stops! Working in the business as well as on it, Elaine loves every aspect of her chosen career and plans to keep creating enviable brows and lashes for all her clients well into the future.

Hi, I’m Gosia — the welcoming and organized heart of Up to My Eyes. With a warm smile and plenty of energy, I make sure the salon runs smoothly, from greeting clients and scheduling appointments to managing calls and keeping our inventory in check.

With a warm smile and plenty of energy, I make sure the salon runs smoothly, from greeting clients and scheduling appointments to managing calls and keeping our inventory in check. I’m a natural multitasker and love balancing it all with calmness and positivity.
What I enjoy most about my role is the creative atmosphere and the chance to connect with so many wonderful people every day — both clients and colleagues.
In my free time, I love baking, exploring new places, hiking trails, and capturing moments through photography.

I am Lithuanian and came to Ireland over 14 years ago in search of better opportunities and lifestyle. My initial challenge was the language and getting to know the humour and ways of the Irish.

I am Lithuanian and came to Ireland over 14 years ago in search of better opportunities and lifestyle. My initial challenge was the language and getting to know the humour and ways of the Irish. In 2012 I attended the Beauty Show in the RDS and decided after meeting Elaine and seeing emBrowdery in action, to take up another challenge, learning this particular skill in semi permanent makeup. I enrolled in the course there and then and a year later, Elaine encouraged me to come to work with the team at Up To My Eyes. It has taken me many years of non stop practice and patience to get to where I am today but I have loved every minute of it. I come to work every day in the knowledge that I am going to help men and women feel better about themselves by giving them natural and real looking brows. The letters of thanks and appreciation make all the hard work worth it and I love my job.
Finance & Accounts

Mary Daly

I am Elaine’s sister and friend and my background is in accounts. For many years I worked as a team project manager with Accenture. When Elaine opened Up To My Eyes she persuaded me to come join her and her team and I have to say, I’m delighted I did.

For such a relatively small business, this salon really keeps me on my toes as it is always busy and there is always tons of work to get through. The ambiance is terrific because we all get on so well and because the girls delight their clients with their skills, it really is a happy place to work.
