Got Patis?  just joking. 

Finally got this one completed!  Thanks to Pamoola being the only sane (or maybe insane?) person to come with me. 


me and pam before putting our feet in!

So i forgot where i had seen or heard about fish pedicures from - but regardless where, the idea of it definitely stuck with me.  After doing some research online, i found out that there was one place in Virginia that did fish pedicures (since it's banned in many states) and it happened to be in Nova!  Like i mentioned earlier, Pam was the only one to brave this task along with me!  Waited for a weekend when she would be up visiting her boo Chris.

So we went to the salon that did the fish pedicures - which was Yvonne's Salon in Alexandria.  We did the 15-minute fish with pedicure package.  It was quite intimidating seeing the fish at first in the tank.  One tank had small fish and the other one had bigger fish.  It was freaking me out so I asked why - and it made sense - the bigger fish were the ones who had been there for a while.  Since it was my idea to do this in the first place, i went ahead and got in the tank with the big fish - who literally were bigger than my big toe!  When we finally placed our feet in the tank - it seriously tickled!  The fish went to town and had lunch - all you can eat style.  Kept grabbing Pam's thigh or squeezing her arm whenever the fishees hit a ticklish spot - lol (sorry Pam!)  Even had to kick the fish off a few times too when it tickled too much.  We were only supposed to be in there for 15-minutes but i think the guy helping us thought Pam was cute...haha... and gave us more time.

The result?  Feet were definitely smoother than normal afterwards after we got our pedicures as well.  But would i do it again?  Perhaps....if it were a little cheaper.
