Fishy Pedicures? Fishy Business…

If you’ve dipped your feet into an exfoliating fish pedicure tank that are currently all over the country, take heed of this advice… STOP!!!

Garra rufa fish nibble on the dead skin of the feet. Booming in popularity over the past 2 years, pedicure stations are now in shopping centres and airports all over the country.

The exfoliating fish pedicure procedure involves clients putting their feet into a water tank filled with garra rufa fish, which suck off the dead skin.

However the Health Protection Agency are conducting an investigation into the potential dangers of spreading infection involved with the treatment.

The investigation is to check whether the treatment runs the risk of infections spreading, following fish pedicures being banned in the USA.

At PURE we believe pedicures should be luxurious and enjoyable, that’s why we use contemporary pedicure bars within our spas.

PURE Spa: Boutique Spa of the Year

We’re proud to announce that PURE Spa has won the award for Boutique Spa of the Year at this years Professional Beauty Awards.

PURE Spa Union Square was short listed back in November. We were the only Scottish company to be nominated and were up against some tough competition – Cupcake Mum, Leaf Lifestyle & Beauty and The Dorchester in London.

After a visit from a mystery client and a judge and several weeks of crossing fingers – the team flew down to London on 27 February for a glamorous awards ceremony where the winners were announced.

We are so proud of the team at Union Square. We truly believe we recruit the most talented therapists in the industry and the team at Union Square are professional, hard working and above all – friendly. Every client receives a warm welcome at PURE Spa.

PURE launched in Edinburgh in 2002, however the Union Square spa only opened 10 months ago making this award a massive achievement. The team have all worked really hard since opening and it’s wonderful that they’re being recognised for their efforts.

We dedicate this award to all of our lovely clients for their dedication and loyalty to PURE Spa. Our clients are the heart of our business and we appreciate each and every one of you.
