It was my first time going and it was absolutely sublime. Simpson showed me the room and explained the process thoroughly to me. I tried it with the light on at first but then decided to go with it in the dark and it was unreal.
Definitely recommend it with people thst need a break from busy world
I had wanted to try a float spa for a long time and after researching float spas in San Diego, I decided on Float North County. I booked on-line in advance. The facility is easy to find, located in a corner of a strip mall in Solana Beach, just east of the I-5 off Lomas Santa Fe Dr. I recommend you give it a try! ~Spotlessly clean facility. ~Friendly employee on the desk who was very clear and informative with instructions and tour of the facility. ~Plenty of free parking right outside. ~Check-in and then wait in the waiting room where there are chairs, a water cooler, a salt lamp, tissues, and membership information. Note: Bring your own water if you want some with you in the float room. ~Large quality bath size towel and washcloth provided. I would have liked a hand-towel in addition for my hair. You could always bring your own extra towel. ~There are about 4 float rooms/tanks, plus a couple of infrared saunas. We used the couples float tank which was located in a low-lit closed room which you can lock. There are robes on the back of the door which you can use if you happen to need to go to the restroom in the middle of your float. (Restroom is just down the hall--definitely used it before the float). Also in the room is a bench with hooks for your clothes and bags. There's a basket for your used towels, a trash can for your used ear-plugs and a shelf which has on it a box of tissues, a jar of ear-cleaning buds, packets of earplugs, sachets of petroleum jelly for any cuts you might have, hand sanitizer and vinegar/water solution to help with any salt water that might have seeped into your ears. There is also a shower in the room with nice quality shampoo, conditioner and shower gel for showering before and after your float. ~Malleable ear-plugs provided -- my advice is USE THEM! We didn't use them at first and had to get out of the tank after a few minutes when we found water was getting in our ears. Three days later, our ears were still crackling from the salt water, so we used a 50/50% water and white vinegar solution to relieve it. They do provide a solution of this at the spa, but we didn't use enough. The earplugs also help with the music, which I found too loud. I didn't want to turn the music off completely, but I couldn't seem to turn it down either. ~They also provide a foam 'halo' to rest your head on. I would recommend you use these! Again, we didn't use them at first, but grabbed them after a few minutes. My husband found his neck and shoulders were a little tense throughout the float, but it helped if he put his hands behind his head, 'hammock style'. I put my arms down by my sides. ~It took us about 15 minutes or so to really settle down by the time we got the earplugs, the foam halo and we both got salt in our eyes for which we had to get out and rinse our eyes under the shower. This is all the result of being first-time floaters and we would know better next time! ~Our float tank had a ceiling of twinkly stars and low blue mood lighting which you could turn off. Afterwards the employee told us it's good to try it with the lights and music completely off to really relax the senses. ~When the float is finished (after 75 mins), a gentle 'gong sound' plays. You then exit the tank, shower and get dressed. One note, it's a little hard to dry off as the room is very humid. I would recommend wearing flip-flops and minimal clothing for ease of changing. We wore swimsuits in the float. ~Down the hall is a room you can use afterwards to dry your hair and touch-up make-up, etc. They have a hair dryer and complimentary quality toiletries like hairspray, spray conditioner, etc. There's also a sink, large mirror, a close-up mirror, ear-cleaning buds and combs, etc. It was a very unique experience, that I'm glad we've tried. For us, we both found it difficult relaxing completely, but maybe that's just due to our personalities! I found I couldn't switch off my brain and kept worrying about how long we had left. Maybe a second-
My husband took me for my birthday for a couple's float.It was a really nice time and staff was nice as well. Toying with getting a membership. Something like $55 for a monthly membership?! Really nice. Although it is small, so I'm curious about availability.
