I saw these at Olympia Beauty last year, wasnt brave enough to try it, we have tropical fish at home and i dont even like putting my hand in there! I did ask lots of questions, and if honest i thought the set up costs and the cost to maintain the tanks was high, i was worried about cross contamination and hygiene. Fht did a brilliant write up on it in their mag this month.
Its all the talk, so i decided i must be brave... i went with a friend and her daughter to a turkish bar where they have them. he told us he got his own tanks and equiptment and just brought the fish. also does the water changes etc himself, which cuts running costs down.
we had to fill out a consultaion form, but he didnt really check our feet. it was a nice dark room, with soft blue lighting, there was a tv, mags to read. it was tranquil, calming and peaceful, though a strange sensation when those fishies first start nibbling, but you soon get use to it.
my feet felt softer, but then they will after being in water for half an hour? but i came home and uses my foot file! so i didnt think the results were great.
i have heard its best to go in the morning, when the fish are hungry, but im still not convinced the results will be that much better?
i think i would rather have a tradition pedicure, file and paint in future! x
