Would You Pay $50 To Have Fish Nibble Your Feet?
 
Would you pay $50 to have fish nibble at your feet for half an hour? Or $35 for 15 minutes of feet fish nibbling?

Apparently 5,000 customers of a northern Virginia salon business have said "Yes!"

It's an alternative treatment for pedicures... An alternative to scraping away the dead skin with razors (which raised concerns about safety).

It gives me a shiver... But hey, maybe it's great! (I've never had a pedicure, so I have nothing to compare it to!)

Personally, no.

I'd rather go across the street for a good cigar...

But,...

5,000 customers and in Northern Virginia of all places,... sounds like they've got a pretty good thing going.

Nope, unless...
 
Dien,

Thanks for Asking.

I'd let a fish have a nibble on a toe or two - if - I had a Medical reason. Such as the psoriasis eating fish http://www.psoriasisfishcure.com/ but otherwise... nah. Not even if it were free (Some things you just cannot give away. It's all about the Market.)

Interesting...

I sent the same story to some friends interested in Pedicures & business...

Suggesting the same concept, of course with a little “twist”...

Those of us living just off of the Pacific ocean have access to Boats... Salt water and Fish...

Good 'ol Smart Japanese original business ideas... :)

Those who Re-invent and Put business ideas from around the World into Action do extremely well in the Profits department... ;)

Based on the video that I have seen, I would like to try it, especially if it will give me the best pedicure and the best foot spa...
A Woman needs it. :);) :)

If my feet were in bad condition I would definitely try it.
