I visited this location a few days ago for my first-ever float. I wasn't initially sure if I wanted to leave a review, but I decided it was important to share my experience so others are aware. The owner placed me in pod 1. She was very friendly and took the time to clearly explain how to use the pod, which I appreciated. However, once I stepped inside, I noticed the bottom of the pod felt slimy. I tried to ignore it and continue with the session, but after closing the lid and looking around, I saw hair from other clients floating in the water along with various other particles. I'm not sure exactly what everything was, but it made it impossible for me to relax. Knowing I was floating in water that appeared unclean made me extremely uncomfortable, and I ended up getting out of the pod early. I was told the filters run frequently, but based on what I observed, I found it hard to believe they are working properly. Given this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning to use the pods again. read more

Just did my first float session and it was amazing. This spa has more than just the sensory deprivation tank, such as a infrared sauna and massage sessions, so if you're looking for an even more holistic and relaxing experience you can stay the whole day if you'd like! Maria was a great help during the process, and it's really indescribable what you see in those float tanks. read more

I am so glad that this float therapy location is around to service my needs, After having been a long time member of Float Easy in Costa Mesa and them inexplicably just disappearing and not refunding anyone for their unused paid floats (something I am not happy about as I had 14 paid floats to use) or even answering emails I turned to this location and never looked back. Maria who runs the place is always very friendly and her upkeep of the facility is immaculately done. The pods are always clean and functioning properly, the rooms are large and have everything you could ask for and the rooms are far more sound proof than my previous experiences. I have been here a half dozen times now and my wife (after her first visit a few weeks back) and I have since signed up for a 4 float a month membership and will definitely use this to maintain our health and mental acuity. The process is simple for newcomers, watch a quick instructional video and sign the necessary waiver. The pods are large and feature numerous light colors and music that can be toggled on/off to you preference. Simply take your pre-float shower, get in the pod, close the lid (I assume you can leave this open but to me it would hinder the experience), lay back and let the salt water due all the work. I tend to relax very quickly and usually fall asleep for at least 2/3rd of the duration of my 60 minute session. Once the float is over the lights come on along with the filtration unit, shower once again to wash off all the salt, change and be on your way. I personally have bad knees, a bad lower back and a shoulder that clicks and when I exit the float I always feel pain free and better and although it will come back over time this definitely eases the tension for me and is a welcome addition to my needs. I am definitely a huge fan of this facility and wish it were closer to home but I will for sure be coming here for years to come and recommend it to anyone who wants to give floating a try. I will return again soon. read more

I loved my first visit at Float Therapy Spa! My husband has been coming here for a little bit now, and really enjoyed his experiences here. It had been a while since he stopped by and he asked if I wanted to join him, and I am glad I did. We used to visit Float Easy who went from good to terrible at a fast pace. What was once nice, calm, great visits became visits of being closed without notice, causing a bit of a drive to be a waste. From taking in later customers sooner than me when it was my appointment, from helping customers who came in after me first, to equipment not working well, not the calm silent experience you come for, and then just flat out closing and not paying people back for visits that were paid for. Fast forward to my visit here for the first time. There are only two rooms here so you will likely need to book a little in advance. I was pretty stressed and I was happy I ended up here. The rooms were silent the whole time, aside from the music I chose to leave on. I did notice you only get one type of music or silence, as opposed to various sounds and either a blue light, or off instead of a few colors. The float tub itself seemed a little bigger to me than my previous experiences. I love that they supply you with a float pillow instead of just the ring. My head and ears did not dip in the water this way. For this round I chose to leave on the music and the light. I may go on silent and no light next time, or music and no light. The tub gets DARK. You won't see a thing once the light is off. I almost fell asleep and I likely will next time. The room to undress and shower in with the tub itself here is more spacious than the previous business I frequented. I did not notice shampoo to use when you wash off. We brought our own. I am pretty sure that was body wash in the dispenser and I am going to feel silly if it wasn't considering that I used it as such. There is also body butter, ear plugs and a towel for your using. Maria is nothing but extremely sweet and helpful. I really enjoyed meeting her and my first visit here. I realized how much I missed these float sessions and now that I had a better experience, I need to consider buying a membership. read more

As someone who enjoys floating on a regular basis, I appreciate that Float Therapy Spa is conveniently located in Huntington Beach. Maria the owner is very helpful and accommodating. The float spa experience is very relaxing and helpful for clearing your mind and senses. They also offer massage therapy services and I highly recommend getting a massage with Lindsey or Ann. Thank you Float Therapy Spa for a positive spa experience. read more

This is my new favorite weekly activity - floating. Before trying floating for the first time, I researched it's numerous benefits. I learned that the water in the floatation pods are magnesium rich. While floating, your body's magnesium and sulfate levels increase, which is a good thing since it's actually quite common to be Magensium deficient. Magnesium helps calm your nervous system which enhances your body's natural ability to heal. At one point, you relax so much which in turn, also naturally reduces your cortisol levels. Floating can also reduce chronic pain - which was my main motivation for initially trying floating. The first time I went to float @ Float Therapy Spa in HB, I didnt know what to expect. I came in with an open mind and love that it is about 10 minutes away from me and right down the street. Once you step inside Float Therapy Spa, you are nicely greeted with relaxing, clean decor and you are escorted to your float room. I was instructed to thoroughly shower first (which is located in my float room) to ensure the water in the pod is kept clean. A float pillow is provided along with towels and earpods. I chose to leave my pod door open while I floated with the ambient light and music on. The first time I floated, I wasn't able to fully relax until about 20 minutes into the 1 hour session, but once I did relax, I actually dozed off for the remainder of the time. When the jet turns off, it signals the end of the 1 hour session and then you shower again before leaving. The second time I came to float, I was able to fully relax and actually dozed off within 10 minutes for the remaining hour. It's awesome that they offer an introductory float package of 3 - which I readily took advantage of. After floating, I felt the best I've felt in years with renewed energy and clarity for the next 3 hours and I slept even better each night after. I'm so grateful this place is so close to me as I'm becoming a normal now! Float on read more

Always a great experience when I come to this place. Maria is always very welcoming & her energy is great! The facility is very clean. They provide towels, ear plugs, lotion, q-tips, great mirror space - everything so that your post float experience also flows smoothly. Float therapy is an amazing way to disconnect from the autopilot mode we tend to always be in. I love to meditate and clear my mind here. Thankful to have found this location. read more

I have wanted to try floating in a sensory deprivation tank for 20 years and finally got the opportunity last night. First off, Float Therapy Spa's facilities are very clean, professional and welcoming. They offer a 60-minute float at a very affordable rate (with deals to be had.) It's much cheaper than other spas in the area I'd researched. Shout-out to Noland, who was an amazing guide, walking me through the procedure and answering all my questions with warmth and friendliness. He said some folks use it for muscular recovery, or to work through problems, relieve stress or to assist meditation. I came for its benefits on meditation but ended up experiencing all of the above! Once I entered the futuristic pod-womb, it took a little while to fully let my body go and relax into it but once I did-- YOWSERS! The only comparable feeling for me is those twilight moments just as you begin to fall asleep, where your body is nearly paralyzed with relaxation, your brain tingles with feel-good neurotransmitters and your mind begins to play like a child. It was, in turns, insightful and fun and simply nice. I will be back! read more

I was looking forward to trying this as I've been intrigued by the whole sensory deprivation thing. My Wife booked this for my birthday. Maria is nice enough but I can't say I'll be back. The equipment is clearly not working correctly in regards to the new age music that is played in the chamber. In the case of my Wife, she was not able to turn the music off from her pod and had to make a call on the intercom in the pod to finally get it turned off. In my case, I repeatedly pressed the button in the pod to turn the music off to no avail. I then tried to press the intercom in the pod as well to have Maria turn it off but that didn't work either no matter how hard I pressed it or how many times. Frustrated, I finally had to get out of the pod, rinse the salt water off of my body, dry off with the towel, and walk down the hall to ask her to turn the music off. I mean, the whole point of this is sensory deprivation, right? Why isn't no music the default for this experience? Maria, if you are reading this, please consider the reason people come to your business - sensory deprivation. And please fix your equipment, both my Wife and I could not turn off the music. It does not make for a relaxing experience. For those of you reading this, the pod I was in is at the very back on the left side of the hallway. Neither the switch to turn off the music nor the intercom button works. Unfortunately we won't be back and cannot recommend this business to others read more

1st time there friendly staff very helpful very clean amazing experience all my soreness and body aches melted away in my 1hr nap in the pod the infrared sauna was the beat to finish it off definitely coming back read more

It was my first time floating. I did not know what to expect - but the short video and Maria are great at explaining what to do and what the benefits are from floating. My appointment was 10AM. They open at 10AM. I went earlier sign a form and watch a short video on how to use the pod. Basically - you go in a pod - a container that is filled with salt water - helps with floating, to help relax your body. It is an hour long floating session. The video and Maria will tell you when the hour is up and give you basic directions. I think they have two pods and are one hour sessions. The place is clean and well kept. You are led to a room that has a pod, waterproof ear plugs, towel, shower, and a bench. There is also a lock. They give you a towel, have hair/body liquid - I forgot to take my own shampoo/conditioner - so I just used that. I also wore my swim suit. So if you are going to bring your swim suit - remember to bring an extra towel/plastic bag to bag your wet swim suit. Also, I recommend bringing slippers for shower if you are not okay with going in the shower or walking around the room bare feet. There are carpet on the floor laid out - but it may be wet - and I don't like that feeling so I rather wear my own slippers. Remember - before you get into the pod - you need to do a thorough shower. Then you can go into the pod. Once you are in the pod - you may be shifting/floating from side to side but eventually will end up being still - of course that is if you are not splashing and moving about. The water is SALT WATER - so you will float but at the same time - watch your eyes when you are in the process of getting out of the pod at the end of your session. Yes, there is a dry towel available just in case you get the salt water in your eyes. BUT also - be mindful that when you are standing up - water from your hair will drip down - so I had to take a few minutes to completely make sure my eyes were salt free. The water felt a bit slimy and has a good scent of aromatic smell - calming and relaxing. Also - if you are your menstruation cycle you cannot go. Also - if you have a small cut/open wounds - it will HURT. So unless it is minimal like VERY tiny, wait until the wound is closed. I didn't think I had a cut - but once I got in - I guess I had a small cut a while back and it was pretty darn painful! And it was a TINY TINY cut! The water I think is about room or body temperature - I forget which - so it is warm. However, for me, I started to feel a bit cold towards the end - not a lot just here and there. But if you move around a bit the warm water will start to come back to you within the pod. They did not have a mirror in the room. They also did not have a hair dryer. I guess it makes sense - so you don't take up so much time getting ready. I brought my own hair dryer - but don't think I was able to find a plug to dry my hair - so I just towel dried my hair. So if the weather is cold - bring a jacket with a hood to keep you warm as you drive back to your home. Oh one last thing - when you are showering after your session - REMEMBER to rinse your ears EXTRA clean! I thought I did a good rinse - but on my way home - I had a bunch of dry salt in my ears! read more

Float on, float on...it's like that song Modest Mouse sings. Float therapy = most relaxing & amazing experience ever. I came here with a fellow coworker, who told me that this place would totally be relaxing & help release stress. FYI: We both have very stressful jobs. Plus, self care is important. We made reservations on our day off and this location has 2 pods. I've heard of other locations that use an isolation tank and the idea of a tank just scared me. This place uses pods, so that means it's a big enough space and there is mood lighting or colors for your chakra. The location is small and looks like it's part of a business complex. It is very clean! The owner, Maria, is very knowledgeable and friendly! She gave great instructions about float therapy and it's benefits. Once we arrived, it is a totally zen place. From the salt lamps to the background music, you totally feel at peace. Once Maria showed me to my room and pod, she told me anything and everything about safety and the pod. If you go to their website, it is also informative. The floating was amazing. I feel asleep and my coworker says that out of everyone she has taken, I am the first to fall asleep. I told her I must be tired. She tells me it's cause I must be really into the therapy. Always thinking positive! Anyway, I was so at peace and calm. The next few days, I was so chill even at work. Nothing stressed me out despite all the stress happening. I even slept that night like a baby! I will definitely need to come back for more sessions. Don't you worry we'll all float on alright....All float on. read more

Decided to try float therapy after purchasing a Groupon deal. Before you show up you need to schedule a time slot. Once we arrive we were greeted by a friendly staff member, she explained the processes to us and gave us iPads to watch an instructional video. (It went through the process, benefits, best positions to try and other information). The waiting room was nice and clean, had water and tea. Once you're done with the video they take you to your private room with a shower and float pod, you are instructed to shower and go right into the pod. Ok, so inside the pod. I was a little apprehensive at first because of the confined space and the water but it's quite large. You have the options of going pitch black, changing lights, one solid light, and music/no music. I chose changing lights and music but honestly with the earplugs in you can barely hear anything. A tip : be cautious of the salt and water, I made the mistake of scratching my forehead while in there and some water got in my eye yes it hurts but they provide you with a dry towel and a spray bottle of fresh water that hangs inside the pod. The water inside the pod is supposed to be warm around body temperature so at times it did feel a little stuffy, I had to open the pod once because I was feeling nauseous (if you watch the video they explain that it's normal to feel nauseous as the toxins are being released from the body). Overall it was a great experience, I felt super refreshed and energized after so I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This is a must do. Maria is so nice. She made us feel like we were comfortable and welcome. It felt more like a friend's house than a business. They are very diligent with cleanliness. The space is spotless. Today was my first time. It took awhile for me to settle in, then ahhhhh. 3 hours later I am so relaxed. You can choose total black out, one color or rotating colors. You can also have mediation music over none at all. The pods are large and not claustrophobic. I will come back and bring friends. Try it. I would recommend float therapy read more

Had the best experience yesterday at this location. Maria as soon as arrived greeted me and was very courteous. The video (before your first float) is very educational and it was my first time in isolation tank. She answered all the questions made sure tank was clean and explained the whole process. If you are new it's a leaning curve and YES it's not an instant - I got this- for most. I struggled at first to get my body and mind to just surrender and float. They have options of music and lights (that can be turned off/on) to your preference and a way to call for any assistance if needed in tank. Really loved this location and staff- they also have essential oils that can be added to your float experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you Float Therapy Spa & Maria. read more

A friend of mine has been coming here for awhile and highly recommended that I at least try it. She then gifted me with a 60-min float and I am 100% SOLD!! I even left with a membership. As a former college athlete, I am now 46 and dealing with all kinds of pain from old injuries so I'm always looking for new ways to recover and rest in between workouts. I also have had increased anxiety and this (I'm hoping) will help me learn to quiet my mind. Maria was also super helpful in making my 1st experience phenomenal!! read more

I love Float Therapy Spa so much! I had an amazing relaxing time floating in the POD and it was my first time going in yesterday. I purchased the 3 float + 1 free package for $139, thought that was a very good deal! The owner of this place is Maria and she is one of the nicest people I ever met. She walked me through the floating process by letting me watch a video and answered my questions nicely. The decorations of crystals, plants & art at this place makes it very cute and relaxing. I will definitely be telling my family & friends about my experience and totally recommend this place. It really helps with pain, anxiety, sleep and so much more! Thank you Maria! read more

First time attending Float Therapy--an amazing experience! As a first time client they had a good offer and customer service was excellent. Maria made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions from the moment we called. The facility is clean and the environment was inviting and relaxing. We loved everything about the this place that provided everything we needed. It really felt like an amazing escape and for just one hour of disconnect and fully embracing serenity and relaxation made a huge difference. Thank you. We look forward to our next session of this unbelievable experience. read more

Maria and Sara is amazing. They always accommodate to or needs. Only thing is I wish there was a bath in the sauna room. It sucks being all drippy wet and having to go home or the gym to bath. Tip: call and book in advance. They are always booked. read more

First of all, this place has the cutest Chihuahua guard dog named Dexter. He was super cute. Booking an appointment is super easy. You can do it online or just give them a call. I would recommend calling a few days ahead to see availability. The float therapy is appointment only. My girlfriend and I wanted to float together. We needed the same time slot. You'll get a reminder the day before your appointment. Parking is plentiful. We arrived 15 minutes early to sign waivers and watched an instruction video. We were welcomed by Maria. Maria helped us with the waiver and video. Maria is walked with us and gave us clear instructions. Each room was super clean and had its own pod and shower. They will provide you ear plugs and towels. The pod itself is cleaned and filtered after each use. There is a switch inside to adjust the light or music. The water was super warm and salty. It's filled with epsom salt which is magnesium sulfate. The float itself was something different. I had a little problem turning off my brain to relax but who can with a stressful life. I tried my best to just concentrate on my yoga breathing technique. I finally got to relax on the end of my session. Im sure I can do better next time. Fast forward next day, I feel more refreshed and I slept so well. I'm not as sore as I usually am. I would want another shot. There is also an infared sauna, we are interested for that next time. Other than all this, I think we will be returning. We just have to find the time to. Give it a shot! read more

I've been floating for years & love this little gem because it's clean & reliable.

MY FIRST FLOAT What an uplifting (literally and figurative) experience this was! "The [float] experience involves lying on your back in an enclosed float pod, which is filled with 200 gallons of water heated to skin temperature, infused with 1,200 lbs of pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt . This incredible amount of Epsom salt provides effortless buoyancy of the body. Some of the anti-gravity benefits are decompression of the spine, elimination of pressure points on the body, and efficient blood flow which produces natural dopamine levels and lowers cortisol." -(http://www.floattherapyspa.com/) I live with chronic neck pain from a car accident that left me with 2 herniated discs in my neck & I have NEVER felt such quick relief from that pain than from trying #floattherapy! I felt so much more relaxed & rejuvenated after my float, too! And floating in this was unlike anything Ive ever felt before! It was AWESOME! I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone suffering from chronic pain, an injury or even looking to detox! I cannot wait to go back! thank you @floattherapyspa!! . . . #floattherapy #hb #ca #spa #epsomsalt #epsomsaltbath #naturalhealing #naturalhealingcenter read more

My husband and I got a Groupon for Float Therapy Spa. I called multiple times to schedule and it always went to voicemail. The message said to book appointments online so I did, but it charged me more than double the cost of the Groupon just to book it. We thought the business dealings seemed a little sketchy so we decided to cancel (about 6 weeks in advance of the appointment). I sent an email inquiry of a refund with no response. I tried calling again and finally got through and spoke to a woman about a refund. She seemed defensive And annoyed that I had cancelled our appointments, even though it was far more than the 24 hour request. Regarding the refund, I was told that she would "get to it when she could" and that she didn't know how long it would take - it would depend on the bank. It's been about a week and I still haven't gotten my refund. read more

Yesterday I tried calling Float to make an appointment, However I got an answering machine (during buisness hours). So last night I went to the Float website and hit the make an appointment page. I selected The following day, Tuesday at 1:00 PM. The site then had me create a user name and password, which I did. It then took me to a page to pay, which I did. I then checked my email and saw 2 messages from the Buisness. One was confirming that I had created an account and the second was a receipt for a confirmed payment. Today, I arrived early and was met by the owner who was on a phone call, that continued for several minutes, while I waited (not a big deal, I was early). I was then greeted and told I didn't have an appointment. She asked how I made the appointment and explained that I made it online. She told me that if I had made an appointment, I would have had to create a user name and password, which I did. I also showed her my receipt for payment. Basically, she said I did it wrong. If that were the case, why did I click on an appointment time, get asked to create an account, then pay for it, then receive the 2 emails? She said I could come back at 4 pm. I couldn't, so I asked for a refund and asked if I would receive an email about the refund. She said I would. An hour later, I have not. I drove a half hour to get there and was really excited about a hour of solitude. Now I'm just bummed. read more

I love this place! First off, it's a piece of cake to log in and make your own appointments! If you have questions, just call in and verify with Maria that everything is in order. She's wonderful. The spa is sparkling clean and it's got just a whole super chill vibe about it. A drop of essential oil before your float? Why yes, please! Clean towels, Q-tips, spa grade body wash, body lotion? Why yes, you can have those too. And as far as the experience? It's over the top wonderful. Relaxing and mind-purifying. One of the best things you can do for yourself. And your skin will be soft as a baby afterwards too. Win!! Seriously, if you are thinking trying flotation therapy, go to this place and check it out. You will love it, and you will also wonder what took you so long to try it! Thank you Maria! read more

This was my first experience with float therapy and it was such a cool experience. The video was helpful to know what to expect. I liked that I could choose to have the lights and/or music. The feeling of weightlessness was very interesting. As I was new to the experience, it took me a little bit to settle in but once I did I was very relaxed. It is a must try! The facility is super clean and the owner Maria is so sweet. She explains the process to you and is open to any questions. I really enjoyed the experience and will be returning soon for another float! read more

So relaxing, a real treat for anyone needing some self care! The pod removes all sensory if that's what you want otherwise there are low lights and music that you can easily turn on. I really liked how you must take a shower first which is right in the same room as the float pod. And then you shower afterward and my skin felt like silk!! It's all very relaxing! Ahh, me time!! read more

I've been wanting to try this for a long time. Today I finally did when I found a great deal on Groupon. Well now I'm in trouble because I feel like this is a must at least a couple times a month.

Float Therapy Spa - Float pod - Day Spas Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Awesome customer service! I have yet to go but so far Maria has been very accommodating. I sent an email late at night to ask about their services and I got a response within 5 minutes. I called on a Sunday 40 minutes after their closing time and I was surprised that Maria answered. I expected an answering machine to pick up. Anyway, I am looking forward to trying this out. I've been wanting to for the longest time but the nearest one I could find is in Tujunga Canyon. I'm egg-soy-ted! Will do an update soon. ================= I'm gonna have a fit. I just finished writing a long review and the computer restarted. Why is there no auto save when editing reviews? And now I'm hungry.. Sigh. As I was saying... I had a really bad migraine the day I went in so I feel like I can't do a proper review update till I go back. Regardless, I give the place 4 stars. **presses post** What to expect: * You will need to sign a waiver/release form so be there 15 min early. * You will be asked to watch a video on how to operate the pod; takes about 7 minutes. * Bring your swimwear. Do not get into the pod in your birthday suit, yo! Even if its your birthday. * Do not go if you're menstruating (women, of course) or if you exude bodily fluids [o_O] that will contaminate the water/Epsom salt. Unless if you are willing to fork over $500 for the clean up and replacement, then have at it. * Avoid shaving the day prior or the area might sting or get irritated easily. * The air is pretty humid inside the pod and you might find it hard to breathe for a few minutes but your body will get used to it. It's actually perfect for decongesting .... uhhmm congestions. Pros * I love how there is a shower stall in each room which means no trekking water between rooms * The rooms have sensor lights that brighten gradually. Perfect for when you're barely opening the pod; you don't want blinding lights after being in complete darkness. * They provide and highly recommend the use of ear plugs to keep water out but of course I forgot put mine on. No problems even though I didn't use the ear plugs. * The water has the same temperature as your skin and it feels really nice. I was told that's how they achieve the feeling of senselessness or floatation. It feels like your body is not in contact with anything because of the temperature similarity. Cons * I can't think of anything except I would highly recommend a lounge chair by the elephant painting. I got out of the pod prematurely because of my migraine and I needed to lie down but the couch in the waiting area didn't sound too appealing. The voices in my head says, "Duh, you should've laid back down in the pod!" "Durrrr! Obviously I wanted to lay down on a bed or couch, not back in the pod." **presses post** I definitely want to go back again minus the migraine. Overall, the experience was relaxing. It felt good in between the migraine's ebb and flow. I thought it would help but my migraine was already in full bloom by the time I got there so basically I spent an hour of **3 sec relaxation - 4 sec pain - 3 sec relaxation - 4 sec pain" cycle. If I got there earlier, I believe it would've helped ease the pain. Disclaimer: I may or may not have asked Maria to terminate my companion's session earlier than usual. I mean.... If I can't enjoy it, then no one will. [~.~] read more

Went here for the first time recently and I would totally recommend this to anyone who's hesitant or looking for a relaxing, peaceful experience. Right when I walked in through the door, I was greeted with a wonderful, calming, holistic atmosphere. Customer service was great as the owner was very polite and greeting. Pod room was very well kept and clean along with the showers as well. Pod experience was wonderful and I felt the lasting affects throughout the whole day after my session. My pain disappeared and I had a wonderful nights sleep. Overall, I would do this again and would recommend anyone else to the same. read more
