A northern virginia spa by the name ‘Yvonne Hair and Nails salon’ has been offering fish pedicures that have become very popular among its clients. John Ho and his wife Yvonne Le are offering fish pedicures where ‘Fish Doctors’ (Garra Rufa) are used to nibble dead skin off human feet. This is very safe in comparison to using razors and blades for the same purpose. Fish pedicures are beginning to get very popular and are already widely offered in a number of asian countries. The ‘Garra Rufa’ or ‘Fish Doctor’ species of fish were first used in Turkey.
