Fish Pedicure

My friend is opening Footpool, in the Eyre Square Shopping Centre, and I had a go of dipping my feet in and oh my God , its SOO MUCH FUN!! it's very ticklish for the first minute, and then after that it just becomes ticklish like bubbles all over your feet.
i laughed and laughed and laughed, but my feet did feel amazeballs after ( my feet are always killing me as my job has me on my feet all day long ). he is hoping to be open at the weekend or early next week

Its 10 euro for 15 minutes or 20 euro for 45 minutes. Some people will be attracted for the craic of it, but many others will use it to provide tangible relief from the discomfort they may feel on their feet.

sorry, you're absolutely right btw, off topic but, i'm intrigued by your username...hardy eustace, i work with a girl who says she is related to hardy eustace, and i know another whose dad used to have a horse by that name

sorry, back on topic, in Footpool they also have a machine that you can pop your footwear into ( it costs 2 euro ) and all these ultra violet ( i think ) rays kill all the bacteria on them which kills the odour on them

Ok if someone fwd the phone no...?

Not advertising for them but as a new business there is no listing and I REEEaaaaly want to go... if anyone has any details..and ok with the models Thanks

your codding me?:D

Having digits doesn't necessarily mean a beautician will do a good pedicure:)

This Fish pedicure isn't a proper pedicure per se, but one of the primary reasons to get a pedicure is to get rid of hard skin etc, which these fish are apparently very good at doing, so I'd wager the end result for your feet would probably be a hell of a lot better in terms of skin removal than your average pedicure in Galway would deliver. I'm looking forward to trying it anyway:)

Must admit that i know little of the goings on of a pedicure so i will take your word for it.
Like i said im sure they will do well to start but i just think this sort of venture has a relatively short shelf life. best of luck to them.

I noticed the new fish pedicure place in the Eyre Square Centre over the weekend, strangely enough, it was on the same day that I read in the Guardian and/or Observer that quite a few states in the US are going to ban them - something to do with the possibility of their spreading disease and (by the way) animal welfare groups worrying about the treatment of the fish...!

I thought it a bit odd that when I passed, all of the people in there with their feet in the tanks were men.?!?

Thats because this place wouldnt be "aesthetically pleasing" enough and hygienic for any woman :pac: and i also dont think there is many girls out there with rough feet.

i've passed it twice and on both occasions two middle aged women were in there.

Something interesting i found on this.... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/ireland/article7086874.ece

I cant believe my eyes as to this actually happens?:eek:
