Marketing Gimmick? Fish Pedicures!



US “Nails Magazine” reports an “interesting” new treatment being used by a salon in Virginia - Fish Pedicures!

“A salon in Alexandria, Va., is using so-called “doctor fish” to nibble away at its clients feet. Yep, you heard me right. After washing their feet, the client steps into a special tub filled with the tiny carp (garra rufa). The fish nibble away at the dead skin on the client’s feet.”

Is it just a marketing gimmick? Either way, it’s getting lots of attention and press coverage for the salon - see videos on CNN’s website and the LA Times site.
