About Us
What's in a name?
Fionna's Grooming Boutique has been a dream in the making. Owner Brett Sparkmon wanted to create a fashionable upscale grooming salon with an easier and friendlier environment than the major corporate facilities, and a more professional approach than some of the mom and pop shops. He also wanted great passionate groomers who respect their work, co-workers, as well as, to have a job that pays the way our hard-work should. He also opened the business in Cumberland to bring job opportunities back to his home town. His distinct style, friendly professionalism, and competitive prices set Fionna's apart from other "Mom and Pop" grooming shops. He has used his experience with animals to design a grooming salon with a comfortable, calming atmosphere for his canine, avian, and feline guests. His salon was designed with a very special Boston Terrier, named Fionna, in mind. Although Fionna requires minimal grooming, her love for other pets and humans still amazes and captures our hearts. She is a constant inspiration to us. A little love and respect truly goes a long way.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to making sure that every pet we see leaves with an exceptional grooming experience and services at prices you can afford.
Shelter-wise
We would like to take this paragraph to let customer's see the need that smaller shelters need help. The Harlan County Animal Shelter needs food donations, desperately. They are not funded by any Pet food company. You can visit the Harlan County Animal Shelter at this website www.harlancountyanimalshelter.org/ . Please take into consideration that there are many other shelters that need this same attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5raEbggbGvo . Another organization that catches our hearts is the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. With the owner's love and admiration of birds, we strongly recommend that our existing and prospective clients take the time to see the need that waterfowl as well as other birds would also benefit by the help of people like ourselves. Please check their site out at www.carolinawaterfowlrescue.com/
Thank you for taking the time to read this portion of our website. Please donate to a shelter near or far from you. |

Brett has heard the best things about this Hospital. PLEASE check them out. Their prices are great and the bedside manner is outstanding. We are so happy to have found them and established a relationship with them, for Cumberland. Veterinarians are very hard to come by in the Harlan County area, so this is a great pleasure to be referring to Dr. Shuler. Brett first heard about this practice through the good Vet's fiance Dr. Tester. He became Brett's Chiropractor and he thoroughly loved his work. We hope that Cumberland will see more of the pair, with business' of their own in the same town as Fionna's, but this is dreaming, not actuality YET, HAHA.
