Going into your float
Arrive 15 minutes prior to your float time for a brief orientation - Arrive 5 minutes early for subsequent floats.
Each of our float suites has a private dressing area and shower, so there is no need to bring a swim suit.
Everything else is provided including shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, earplugs and towels.
Don't shave or wax before your float - The salt water solution may irritate your skin. 
Remove your contacts - Your eyes will be more comfortable without contacts or glasses on.
Eat a small meal about 1 hour prior - It will be easier for your body to rest if you aren't too full or really hungry.
Don't drink caffeine before floating - Caffeine is a stimulant and will make it difficult to rest and relax.
DO NOT apply makeup, moisturizer, perfume or spray tan before coming for a float.
DO NOT smoke cigarettes before coming in for your float. We may refuse service if a strong odor of smoke is brought in with you.
DO NOT float if you've dyed your hair in the past 10 days. With red/pink dye, we require waiting 30+ days to float.
(If you dye your hair, read our VERY IMPORTANT full hair dye policy in our FAQ: https://www.floatmadison.com/faq )
Although most hair dye sets in under 10 days, some dye, especially rainbow colors, can leach out of hair for weeks which may damage our float tanks and towels. 
You cannot float if you have Henna coloring in your hair (or a Henna tattoo).
