Our Story
In 2016, I realized a long-held dream when I opened Dora Graff Makeup & Beauty Salon in the heart of Budapest’s 1st District. Since then, our salon has been a welcoming destination for both Hungarian and international clients seeking high-end makeup, hairstyling, and indulgent facial treatments.
From the very beginning, my passion for beauty has taken me far beyond the salon walls. I’ve built my career working on a wide range of professional projects — from editorial and fashion shoots to film, TV, and corporate events. My freelance makeup work has appeared in publications such as Luxury Funzine, Playboy, Esküvő Magazin, and Italian Sport Week, and I served as the lead makeup artist for Budapest Fashion Nights for six years.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with internationally recognized teams and brands, including NBC New York, Yves Saint Laurent, ArtDeco, the Hungarian State Opera House, Telekom US, and many more. I’ve also worked abroad in cities such as Monaco, London, and Munich with top photographers and creative professionals.
As a licensed cosmetician, I specialize in natural, non-invasive anti-aging facial treatments using premium American electro-aesthetic equipment. My approach focuses on enhancing natural beauty with lifting-effect techniques that preserve authentic facial expression.
I’m especially proud to be known as the official makeup artist for singer Orsi Kozma, a role I’ve held for several years.
Today, I continue to bring my more than 16 years of professional experience to every service — whether it’s bridal makeup and hairstyling, beauty makeup, editorial looks, or bespoke skincare treatments — with the goal of helping every woman feel confident, radiant, and beautiful in her own skin.
