Reader Jasmin hit me up and introduced me to the latest spa treatment, fish pedicures. It kinda looks and sounds weird but I’m up for trying this, time to make a trip out to Washington DC as a northern Virginia spa called Yvonne Hair, Nail & Tan salon has been offering this service for four months now! The toothless fish is called Garra Rufa aka Doctor fish, were first used in Turkey and have become popular in some Asian countries. Once you put your feet in, a swarm of fish comes and nibbles off your dead skin with all that fish coming at you, it must be ticklish! “The fish don’t do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind.” The cost is $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. “The spa has more than 1,000 fish, with about 100 in each individual pedicure tank at any given time.” via FoxNews I’m super ticklish so I’ll probably be cracking up the whole time, I’ll report about it once I try it. Has anyone tried it before? More pics after the jump…

ewwww…
ahhh, lol willhelmina got a fish pedicure on ugly betty last season, i can’t believe it’s real
You and me, girl! I’m ticklish too, so I’ll be giggling right along with you. Let’s go!
The first time I saw this was on I survived a japanese game show and this morning on the today show. It looks kinda scary though to me.
hiiii. i did it in taiwan about a year ago…except you put your entire body in! but they do happen to gravitate to your feet maybe because there’s more dead skin there?
but definitely an experience you should try.
im allergic to fish… and no.. LOL this is the weirdest thing ive ever seen… but interesting at the same time… i think i would give it a try just for the experience.
haha. this is so cutee :]
well, i remember i was once in greece ( bout 5 years ago?) and there were also those little fish that peeled off/ate the dead skin on my feet. i don’t recall though if it was ticklish. but you see, it was a treatment for free lol.
I saw this on some daytime show – but I think the “special” fish had been stopped at customs, so they had just improvised with some “regular” fish that swam away from the feet LOL
LMAO wow I thought someone was lying to me when they told me this…I wouldn’t dare either as ticklish as I am!
Id love to try this!!
I will NOT be doing this.. its rare I write comments in your blog girl.. but this freaked me out BIG TIME!
Omg, looking at that pic of the fish on the feet made me gigggle and squirm. My feet are insanely ticklish, that would drive me out of my mind. i have a terrible time with regular pedicures, laughing my way through them. Hahahahahaha, I can’t look at that pic, it tickles!
