Yes that is what I said. A pedicure with flesh eating fish. These toothless fish termed garra rufa but known as “doctor fish”, nibble away at the dead skin while leaving healthy flesh untouched. Errr reminds me a little of piranhas.

Clients who have had it say that the whole fish eating part of the pedi takes about 30 minutes and cost around £35. One client says “it feels like the fish are tickling your feet so you can’t help laughing till you cry and it may prove too much if you’re ticklish”. Clients also say that they would go back for more as it leaves your tootsies feeling smoother than a baby’s derriere.

I’ll tell you what, you come to my place and I’ll set your feet in my fish tank for £15. You’ll only need 10 minutes, but trust me; the piranhas are far quicker than a bunch of doctor fish. Seriously, 20 minutes and they’ll be down to the bone! It sure will make my job a lot easier. Of course, I’m only joking…

It has not arrived in the UK yet, but salons in Turkey are offering this treatment, or you could pick one up in Asia or the US, but be careful as some fraud salons use fish with teeth.

Anyone fancy a fishy foot spa? ♥
