How It All Began
Dreaming Big in a Small Town Salon
Founded in 2014, Fabulous Fur began as a small, 3 groomer operation. Sara Elam joined the salon in 2016 as a groomer. After 3 years, she was given the opportunity to acquire the budding business, leading to her becoming the salon's owner in September of 2019.
​
Fast forward to now and the salon has flourished under Sara's leadership, expanding the salon and growing the team to 7 groomers, 5 bathers, and a receptionist! Sara strives to exceed industry standards by providing a fun work environment, benefits to the team, and maintaining a high standard of quality, safety, and cleanliness.
