After spending three years as an investment consultant in San Francisco, Marian Lee returned home to Hawaii to care for an ill parent. While living at home, Marian took a leap of faith and opened Mojo Barbershop. To get help with her startup, she immediately contacted her local SCORE chapter. Marian's mentor guided her to success with management, marketing and public relations advice.

Mojo received SCORE's Outstanding Minority Entrepreneur Award for 2014.
