From the reviews

I really enjoyed Solace. The float is an interesting experience (caution the salt water is slightly slippery. Laid back relaxation at its finest. Great date night idea 💡 😊 I have a massage coming 😌 up. I will update after. Allow a couple of minutes for the waiver. Enjoy 😉 relax 😌 and travel well.

My girlfriend and I did a float and it was a sensational experience! We had a such a great time and it was very relaxing. Ashley was our attendant and she was so sweet and explained how the process worked, we loved her. After our float we enjoyed some quiet time while drinking their complimentary tea.

★★★★★ — Ana, Dec 2024

My partner and I went here today for my birthday and it was fantastic! We did a one hour massage and one hour float. It was my partner's first time floating, and she was a little timid about it. I've floated at 3 different places, and the float tank at Solace was the most welcoming for someone new.

Your first float at Solace Relaxation Massage, Float Spa and Esthetics

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
