Three highlights of your career:
• Opened my first salon in downtown San Francisco - 1998
• After 11 successful years, I sold the salon and opened my namesake salon; Marzia Salon, which overlooks Union Square in the heart of San Francisco.
• In partnership with IZUNAMI, I am developing a new line of beauty products that will transform the industry.
