If it's the fish pedicure that you are referring to, it is my understanding that you can't sterilize the tanks because the chemicals would kill the fish. So to me, the pedicure is unsanitary.

I wonder how effective it is at removing dead skin though? I really think I'd like to experience it.

I recently did this on my trip to Cancun. It tickled a lot. Was an interesting experience but I would not pay to do it again. While my feet were a little softer after I didn't think there was a noticable difference.

I remember seeing this on the news awhile back. I think it's illegal, at least in NYS.

I remember them saying about closing places down in Queens.

Re: Anyone ever go to a fish spa?

I freak out if a fish swims near me in the ocean or lake.
NO WAY would I ever put my feet in a tank of fish.
The thought gives me a panic attack!

I completely agree! I was freaking out in the ocean in Ft. Lauderdale last summer because I could see and feel all the little fish swimming around me!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
