First Float Guide
First Time Floaters:
A Few Things to Know to be prepared for your floatation appointment
- For your first visit orientation and to ensure you receive the full hour floatation session, please arrive 10-15 minutes early.
- Try to schedule your appointment at a time when it is easiest for you to relax, similar to a time when you would book a massage. Any physical activity such as yard work, working out, etc. prior to your appointment will enhance your overall experience.
- In the event you have showered just before you arrive, it is still required before entering the float cabin. All deodorant, hair products, body lotions, makeup, perfumes and colognes must be removed prior to floating.
- The salt water will not harm colored or treated hair, however, we ask that you wait at least 48 hours after your treatment so the water is not contaminated.
- Please refrain from sun or spray tanning sessions prior to floating.
- If you have large cuts or open wounds, are experiencing an illness, or it is during your menstrual cycle, please contact us so we may advise you properly.
- It is best not to have a big meal or any caffeine within two hours of your scheduled appointment, however a light snack is recommended. You should avoid caffeine even longer before your appointment if you are sensitive to it.
- Do not shave for at least 4-6 hours before your float, as the highly salted water may sting. If you have any small cuts or scratches, we provide Vaseline to cover them.
- Audio music, towels, shampoo, soap, and earplugs are provided for you. You will have your own personal spa suite with floatation cabin, shower, and dressing area. Our facilities are limited for those wanting to do hair and makeup before an evening out, so please let us know if you need extra time.
- You may bring the following with you: iPod (soothing, relaxing, or meditative music only), an exfoliating pad or glove, cases for contact lenses, hair brush or comb, or a change of clothes. A swimsuit is not recommended as the density of salt will make it uncomfortable and may be a distraction during your float.
We have a very limited number of appointments each day and schedule two hours for every one hour session. This time allows us to orientate new clients and also gives everyone a calm and peaceful environment. However, we adhere to a very strict cleaning policy of 30 minutes to prepare the spa suite for the next client, so we ask that you not linger in your suite after your float.
