At Santa Fe’s Ten Thousand Waves spa, the Nightingale Cleansing Mask includes a powder composed of “sanitized droppings” from the tiny wonder-birds. The high nitrogen content draws out bacteria from the skin and breaks down dead skin cells more gently than acid peels. Used for centuries by geisha in Japan, the facial is “an all-natural way to brighten and smooth the skin.”

At a Virginia salon, a type of carp (garra rufa) is used in the prep portion of a pedicure treatment, during which the fish nibble away dead skin cells. (Also called “doctor fish,” these toothless wonders were originally used to treat such conditions as psoriasis and eczema, so there’s no risk that you’ll lose a toe—phew!) According to salon owner John Ho, the nibbling is not painful but does tickle. He says the treatment leaves a smoother, longer-lasting pedicure—we say it sounds a little fishy.

Get this: Hari’s, a London salon, combines Pedigree Aberdeen Angus bull sperm (um, yes, bull sperm!) and Katera root from an Iranian plant to form a protein-packed powerhouse that’s recommended for anyone who has fine, over-processed hair or frizzy hair. While the product is said to nourish, protect and revitalize hair, we wouldn’t be surprised if it also re-creates Cameron Diaz’s memorable hair-raising look in There’s Something About Mary.
