What is a fish pedicure? 

Although the term may seem a little scary, the fish pedicure has recently become a craze across the UK. Garra Rufa fish are tiny little creatures generally 3-4 centimetres long. They have become well known across the beauty industry for feeding on the dead skins cells of humans that are softened by warm water. When they’re not feeding on the feet of humans, you can find Garra Rufa feeding on small living organisms underwater.

Tried and tested across the UK, the success of the fish pedicure has resulted in many salons investing in fish spas. The process is painless and clients suggest a tickling, massaging sensation occurs when the fish are feeding. In spas across the UK prices tend to range from £10 - £40 depending on the length of the session. Although the idea seems completely bizarre it is actually a rather natural process and definitely worth a try!
