I didnt know what forum to put this on! I just wondered what other proffesionals thought of this! My main concern is hygene! How is the water changed? The tanks cant be sterilized?! X
My personal feeling is I wouldn't not want this. I wouldn't offer it as a service nor would I ever have one. I don't want anything nibbling at my feet.
I agree completely.
Not one thing about the procedure appeals to me in the slightest.
It's like putting leeches on someone to 'bleed' them!! Or maggots to clean out a wound. May be effective but ugh!!
Give me a bit of home maintenance with my 'Ped Egg' once a fortnight and my feet are like a baby's!
I wouldn't waste a nickel of salon investment money on fish tank procedures!
Apart from the novelty, if one is that way inclined, why would anyone do this repeatedly? I can't see how anyone with a business head would buy into it? Unless they just had money to waste.Haha! Loving the Ped Egg comment!! The Fish Tank thing makes me feel ill!! X
I was extremely curious about this and thought I'd try it for myself last Friday.
We had to fill out disclaimers which also asked if we had athletes foot, verucca's or AIDS. There was no mention of fungal nail infections, and both myself and my friend were wearing nail polish. What if somebody came in that had a fungal infection but didn't actually know what it was?! It gets worse...
My friend had a big lump of dry skin on her toe and as soon as she put her feet in, the fish went for that spot. After about 2 minutes she whispered to me that her toe was bleeding!! I told her she should get out, but she was interested in seeing if any of the attendants came around to check on things like this - they didn't. GROSS!! She doesn't have any diseases or conditions etc, but it's not really the point.
The water seemed to have a filter, but surely this would just be the same water recycled over?
Don't think I'll be rushing back :-/ xx
