“Fish Cannot Be Used
In a Salon”

 The Board has determined that fish cannot be utilized as an implement when used in the care for the skin.   Fish would be utilized as an implement when used in the context of a fish pedicure therefore, falls under the sanitation and disinfection administrative rules of the Board.  Those rules require that all implements be sanitized and disinfected before and after services on each client.   If sanitation or disinfection cannot be achieved the implement must be disposed of after a service on each client.

 Due to the inability of salons to meet these requirements in regards to the fish, and to protect consumers from the possibility of infection and disease, the Board determined fish cannot be used in salons.
