I'll admit it and I have no qualms about doing so...I like a good pedicure. It's relaxing, the foot massage is fantastic and come on guys tell the truth...cutting your toenails isn't the most enjoyable thing in the world. Personally, I always skip the manicure and nail polish but hey if that's your thing go for it!Anyway, it seems that a new type of pedicure is taking the Washington, DC area by storm....the fish pedicure!
Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.
Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn't support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin. They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can't bite it off.
Who knew? Be on the lookout for a fish pedicure coming to a salon near you.
