Before you float

BEFORE YOUR FLOAT

   Prepare for the ultimate ’Me-Time’!

​

  • Allow yourself at least 90 minutes to enjoy your float session (or 2hrs if it’s your first visit, to allow additional time for your float induction).

 

  • Avoid shaving for 10-12 hours (ladies) and 5-8 hours (men) before floating to avoid any stinging. Ouch!

 

  • Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol or any other stimulants at least 2-3hrs before you float, to ensure you can completely relax and switch off.

 

  • Avoid eating big meals before your float. We recommend you eat a light meal a couple of hours before you arrive.

 

  • Remove contact lenses prior to floating. Remember to bring a case/solution to keep them safe.

 

  • Avoid extreme sun tanning prior to floating. The water is extremely salty, it could be painful!  

 

  • Fake tan? Please wait at least a week after application before floating.

 

  • Avoid hair products and make-up, as they will need to be showered off before you float!

 

  • Fresh tattoos? Wait at least 10 days before floating.

 

  • New hair colour? The high concentration of salt can strip fresh, unsettled dye and ruin your expensive hair treatment. Causing the hair dye to bleed into the salt water solution and permanently staining the float tank.

​

  • Standard/Permanent Dyes: Wait at least 10-14 days so your colour can fully set.

​

  • Red Dye: Wait at least 30 days as red pigment bleeds easily and can stain the float tank.

​

  • Henna Dye: Please avoid floating if you use Henna Hair Dye, it does not bind well and will cause permanent staining.

 

  • Menstruating on your scheduled appointment date? Please contact us to reschedule.

                         

  • Physical activity prior to your float session enhances your overall experience to recover and relax.

 

  • Bring swimwear if you’re unsure, but floating in your Birthday Suit is recommended.

 

  • We have all the floating essentials covered, just bring an open mind and get ready to relax like never before!
