Latest fish pedicure review
Had my fish pedicure today and it was lovely!!! This is not my first visit and it will not be my last. I got there for 6pm and there was no one else there having a fish pedicure so the lovely owner suggested I use both tanks. So I had one foot in the left tank and my right foot in the right tank.
My feet were covered in fish!! Some of them looked really big. I sat there reading me Evening Standard and felt so relaxed. Before I left I received a loyalty card. What a lovely place with a lovely team of staff.
Clean, excellent location and sooooo many treatments to choose from.

| Daily Mail | So, after everything I’ve been through, how do my feet feel? There was definitely a difference. While my nail varnish remained intact, my feet felt softer and smoother, and the thick skin on my heels and balls looked pinker and healthier. | more > |
| Manchester Confidential | The best way to describe the feeling is like a really great form of pins and needles. I sat there for 30 minutes and despite the strangeness of the situation, it was enjoyable. It was just odd to think that it was fish performing the pedicure rather than a person. | more > |
| Is there a doctor (fish) in the house? | At first the sensation is a bit tickly and strange, as you feel lots of tiny little mouths and fins brushing against your feet. As your feet become accustomed to it, it starts feeling quite soothing and the fish themselves are very cute. The water is kept at 43 degrees centigrade, the same as the Garra Rufa’s natural habitat. This also helps soften the skin, allowing them to ‘suck’ it away more easily. | more > |
