In 1993 Marva started at Ludington Beauty Academy and went on to work for Bruce Rillema at Pierrot Hair Design. She then worked for Bobbie McVicker of Shear Sensations. In 2002 Marva opened her own salon at home, Marva’s Hair Care.  She only closed in April of 2018 when her health forced her to.  Her greatest reward of the business was the many customers that became good friends.
