Live Fish Pedicure

   Ladies and gents, there’s a pedicure out and it is far from average. We all love treating ourselves to a good foot scrubbing, toe cleaning, and a fresh coat of polish, but let me tell you… this pedicure involves LIVE FISH. Yeah… you read right, I SAID LIVE FISH.
   Imagine going to your local nail salon and dunking your feet into a bath filled with small, dark fish. The little, toothless, flesh-eating fish nibble away at dead skin leaving behind a healthy layer of epidermis. The live fish pedicure is definitely an alternative to the unsanitary razors and pumice stones currently used by most salons.
   The fish spend about 15 minutes eating away the surface layer of skin that’s typically hard, dry and cracked. Once the fish are removed, clients are given a standard pedicure. Mmm… Not too sure how I feel about this one, but I am up for trying something new.



The live fish pedicure cost roughly around $45.

 

   Live Fish pedicure is currently outlawed in about 15 states (including Florida, Texas, Georgia and New York). Possible reasoning as to why as cited by the Wall Street Journal.com: “cosmetology regulations generally mandate that tools need to be discarded or sanitized after each use. But epidermis-eating fish are too expensive to throw away.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LIVE FISH PEDICURE? WOULD YOU GET ONE?
