The Szakonyi family consist of Eszter, her husband Gabor and 4 naughty children. Eszter and Gabor are both successful entrepreneurs and have run their own independent businesses in Hungary for 12 years. Eszter is the owner and founder of Vintage Beauty, an all natural cosmetic brand with in house production and developmental team and one of the biggest beauty salons in Hungary. Their products have won more than 25 international prizes in the last 3 years alone. Gabor runs one of the most trusted and successful dentistry in Europe with clinics both in Budapest and London.
But the true fulfillment comes from their joint venture, their family of six. Making all this work requires cooperation, support and skillfully managed teamwork and last but certainly not least, love.
In 2021 the family moved from Budapest to the suburbs of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. A move motivated by their appreciation for the Dutch way of life and their desire to share this culture with their children. There are so many lessons to learn and experiences to have when you uproot your whole life and move to a new country, and they are grateful for every single one of them. After they had settled into their new life, they were looking for new challenges and a way to give something back.
Bringing one of their successful businesses to the Netherlands was a logical next step and something that Eszter feels very passionate about. Introducing her multiple award winning skincare brand to the Dutch public is a business adventure they embark on together. The Vintage Beauty salon opened in 2022. Located at Freericksplaats 5 the salon and showroom offers problem focusing facial treatments and skincare products to help people feel confident and happy in their skin.
Creating the best possible products that offer genuine solutions for skin problems is not the only way they want to help. They both feel passionate about supporting charitable organizations either helping fund their cause or organizing events to raise awareness of the problems they feel need more attention. Over the past several years they worked together with children’s hospitals, supported homeless charities and foundations helping domestic violence victims and orphans and funded theater shows and artists as well.
