Fish Pedicure.


I was in my local mall today just to run some errands, when I noticed a new salon had been set up...with fish pedicures!!! I know, right? Weird/gross/awesome. I have been wanting to try this ever since my older brother did it when he had been traveling, and since they were doing it for a fair price, I gave it a go!

I have seen these advertised for around £50 before, but here they were charging £10 for 15mins, which I felt was acceptable for me to treat myself. The salon specialises in it, with freshly filtered tanks and hygiene precautions, so I felt pretty comfortable.

If you are so confused at this point about what a fish pedicure is .... basically its sticking your feet in a tank of tiny little toothless fish called Garra Rufathat suck and nibble away all your dead skin. It's a technique that has been used for centuries, totally painless and leaves yours skins babbbyyyy smooth. Some people do their whole body (Eww too far for me. Chunder.) but this place only offered feet and hands.

I wish I had brought my camera with me to take some photos! It was so bizarre having little fish nibble you, but strangely fun. Definitely going to be taking my friends back there :) So what about you guys? Have you ever had a fish pedicure? Or do you consider it just plain gross? (I don't blame you haha)
