The Float Spot

I don’t normally review places on Unilocal unless I find it 5 star worthy. Let me first say that floating is something that everyone should try once, but it may not be for everyone. While I believe massages are for the body, a float is more for the mind.
The float spot is incredibly clean and the staff are extremely friendly. I went in for my first float and they helped me throughout the whole process. You have a choice to have music play throughout your float or to have the light on or off. Once you are inside, it is like being on a cloud. I won’t go into to much detail about my floating experience, but since it was my first time it took about 15 minutes to adjust to floating comfortably. Afterwards, I was able to lean my neck back and push my chin forward, I was able to think clearly and relax.
In your life, you are always being engaged in some activity. Your brain is constantly thinking and never gets time to take a break. Do yourself a favor and give yourself an hour to re-​energize. You’ll feel rejuvenated.
TL;DR– clean environment, friendly staff. The fact that you are reading reviews on Unilocal is telling me you are interested. Just go ahead and do it.

Complete sensory adventure! I suffer from back pain, and at 6 months pregnant (almost 7), I am pretty much willing to try anything. So, when my usual masseuse canceled on me, my husband suggested I try a float as he has been a few times. I tend to have ruminating thoughts/​anxiety, and I did initially have a hard time switching off my brain (When will the ocean waves sound stop? When will the lights turn off? What if I get salt in my eyes? What do I do with my arms? Will I bump into the walls?) When it was finally completely still and dark, my mind was able to wander a bit and I found myself beginning to relax. I’m glad I choose the 60 minute session (upon recommendation of my husband), because otherwise I may not have given myself enough time to just let go. The best part? Once I began to calm down, so did baby! He was no longer doing his Cirque routine, and it was so peacefully quiet that I was able to hear his heartbeat! I even drifted off enough that I hadn’t realized I was snoozing until I snored myself awake.
All in all, very cool experience and I will happily try again (if only they would open a Firewheel location *Hint, Hint*). But, the Frisco location was very nice and close to the Joint, which I cruised on over to after the float for a quick adjustment. Back is feeling good, mind is well rested, and my wallet isn’t broken — WIN! (Please excuse any typos — preggo brain ain’t no joke!)

Love this place… Owners are awesome, friendly folks, their sons are just as great. The aqua massage with aromatherapy is customizable for pressure and location and it’s nice not to have to get undressed. We make a point of coming for a massage at least once a week! The float tanks are perfect with different lighting and music options. It’s a great way to get muscles to relax and so soothing. Love the online reservation system, makes it so easy to get in and out quickly.

Coolest place ever! So what’s not amazing about a futuristic detox pod that charges your body with energy but makes your relaxed and mentally clear? This is something everyone needs to try, the place is so clean and well kept. A mid day snooze or evening appointment to wind down is great, I did my session in the morning and spent the rest of my day in a great mood and not feeling tired despite getting minimal sleep the night before. I travel a lot so this is going to be my go to stop to cure my jet lag and travel fatigue so I can stay mentally focused.
I can only imagine how effective a floating treatment is after any massage (try the hydro massage they offer) I always received a similar treatment at the chiropractors but the one here is really amazing.
The Float Spot is such a cool concept that you have to try for yourself!

So I went per a suggestion of a colleague. It sounded weird but I thought try anything once. So first off as many have pointed out the staff are very friendly and explained the whole process. Since I was still a little skeptical I chose the 30 minute float instead of the 60. I was not pressured to buy any longer which I thought was pretty upstanding a lot of spa places will up sell the hell out of you.
So I went in the back room and as everyone has mentioned you shower and go in pod naked and just relax and float. I thought they said it would be 5 minutes before going dark which made me anxious when it didn’t happen but after I noticed it was 10 anyway once it went dark it is hard to describe you just go in your own place and it is so relaxing it was dark 15 minutes before light and sound slowly started again but it seemed like it had only been 2 minutes once it was dark. So definitely next time I am floating 60 minutes. One after effect your skin feels great afterwards so I know a lot of the women will like that. There memberships are a no brainer and like others said I was not pressured to buy anything. I think it has a lot to do with the product is so good they don’t need to. I will be coming back many times in future

Great staff, cool concept and definitely a relaxing experience. Wish I lived in Frisco still so I could go back more often!

I came here for a girl’s day with 4 other girls this past Saturday and the girls and I absolutely loved it! My husband arranged everything with Ray ahead of time as a surprise for us and we were definitively surprised! Ray (the owner) and his staff are extremely helpful and very nice in explaining how everything worked. Everything is extremely clean and well maintained, lights were dimmed, had a very relaxed feel to the space right when we walked in.
I was hesitant at first about floating as it’s very hard for me to relax and drift off… 10 minutes in and I was out and woke up an hour later. Best. Sleep. Ever. I recommend taking your contacts out before floating as it will burn if you get it in your eyes but it doesn’t last long. They have showers for you in each room as well when you’re done and also provide earplugs for you when you float. You can still hear the music they play through the water, yes, through the water, it was such a neat experience!
The girls all loved it, one had a hydro massage (there’s only 4 float tanks) and she is definitely planning on coming back as are the rest of us!
You have to check this place out!

I went there for the first time yesterday and I loved it! As soon as you walk in, you see smiling faces and smell all the good smells and start to relax immediately. I had no idea what I was in for or what to do, and the super-​friendly staff explained everything step by step. I started with the hydro-​massage per their recommendation and it was a great way to start to unwind. After that, I was led to my room with the float pod and took a quick shower. I was skeptical because I thought I’d be bored after 10 minutes, but I wasn’t. I liked it pitch black, so I kept the light off. I loved that you can hear the relaxing sounds that are piped in as you float. I just «laid» there for an hour, arms stretched out above my head (that was the most comfortable for me. I drifted in and out of sleep, and the hour flew by. I didn’t want to leave! I signed the wall, bought a huge bath bomb that smelled incredible, and was on my way. I was prepared for a pitch on buying a membership, which I don’t like, but there was no pressure to buy anything at all.
I’d definitely recommend this place. The facility is very clean and inviting, and the staff is extremely nice and helpful. I slept like a baby that night. I’ll be back for sure.

Oh my god. If you need to distress and flit your cares away. Come here. It felt weird at first but before I knew it I was asleep and in la la land. Check them out

I was browsing around for spas to take my girlfriend to and found this wonderful place. Took the stress off both of us and felt re-​energized. The staff is very nice, the place is clean and even smells clean. I did an hour in the iso-​pod and wow, that float was incredible. I have never felt better in my life.

The FLOAT SPOT is THE best place for floating… I’ve been over 5 times and each time I’ve had an amazing experience. The customer service from the owner and his sons is always top notch. They have never been rude, rushing or inconsiderate. To the contrary, they are always polite, accommodating and personable; which adds to the experience. The facility is always inviting, clean, pleasant and modern. I’ve been to the other float place in Dallas, and there is no comparison. I love the atmosphere there. If time permitted, I would go weekly.
I tell everyone to try floating… so if you try it, you MUST go to The Float Spot!!! Highly recommend!

I was greeted buy a very pleasant owner Ray. He was very comfortable and informed me on what to do from start to finish. The place smelled so good. Like clean rain. The pod seemed intimidating at first but within 20 minutes I was in and out of sleep and my body was very heavy and relaxed. I got out and showered, then when to the back room where they provide deodorant, and hair products including blow dryers to use. Unfortunately I am from out of town but will recommend it to anyone who lives in the area. I would advise the membership. My skin feels so rejuvenated and soft. I am glad I picked The Float Spot to float for my first time.
Now some tips for first timers which I wished I knew: Do not go if you have cuts like even a hang nail. My hand burned like a mother f****r. Also women don’t go with your hair done obviously but also make up. Your face will get wet. I brought my own deo and brush but they do provide it.

Awesome experience overall very friendly staff really into the individual float experience started driving in there direction on a whim called from the highway they had me in the tank in the hour

This is one of the best float centers I have been too. Excellent customer service, and smells great when you walk in. The floats are typically an hour, but the tanks are very nice. Highly recommended to anyone with back pain or soreness.

Great family owned and operated business offering a relaxing and luxurious experience. I was given tips on how to improve my floats and each of the staff members took a personal interest in my experience. I have recommended The Float spot to multiple colleagues and although I’ve moved away from the Frisco area, I will still espouse the benefits of a float session with The Float Spot. It’s a great way to decompress and take some time out of the day for yourself.
Their prices are reasonable and easily justified based on the care and quality experience you receive.

Absolutely amazing experience! My fiancé surprised me with a trip for both of us here. The staff was extremely friendly and explained the whole process, showing up where we would change, pointing out the directions on how to use the Pod, what to do when we were done and wear to store our stuff.
Once you’re in the pod… I imagine its one of those things that is different for everyone, similar to meditating. My fiancé said he was able to fall asleep in the pod, while I had wildly coloful thoughts flowing through my mind the whole time. The feeling of being weightless was pretty awesome. It felt like how I imagined clouds to feel when I was a kid. Like being held up by a strong presence but not really feeling anything. I actually found myself to be a little sore afterwards, like having a deep tissue massage but the staff said this was a typical feeling.
The only thing I wish is that there was a giant pod so you could do a couple’s float but that doesn’t lessen the experience. If you haven’t floated before do yourself a solid and get on this right now.

I’ll be back! This was a very cool experience. You literally float in a pod that is filled with epson salt. It’s so relaxing!
I went the full mile and did the hydro massage afterwards. I was basically worthless for the next hour.
The staff was Super nice and interested in my experience.
Relaxing doesn’t really come easy to me. I figured I might be doomed trying to relax for a 60 minutes. I saw some claustrophobia in my future (the pod looks small but it’s 8 feet long) or blackout and drown… ruining the experience. Luckily, none of these happened. The cleanliness played a Big part in my relaxing success. It was one of the cleanest facilities I have been in. Ever.
They provide sulfate free shower products and a small primp area so you can head back into the world.
The owner suggested going as late in the afternoon as possible so you can head straight to bed.
Check them out!

Loved it! It took all the pressure off my lower spine, well all of my body. I loved being alone and completely disconnected for the hour. It was nice with the pod closed and light off, but I preferred to open the pod and use the various color light rotation function. My imagination ran wild. I had some truly hilarious thoughts. Next time I’ll turn out the light for a more meditative experience. But, this experience was relaxing and fun! Did I mention how AMAZING it made my lower spine, muscles, hip flexors feel?! Amazing.

Today was my first time ever to float! I tried the 30 minute session just to see how it was & I LOVED it!
The owner & staff were extremely nice & knowledgable!
I will 100% be going back & doing an hour session.
I’ve never felt more relaxed in my life!!!

Total relaxation is SO hard to find these days. Even when we try to have time to ourselves, there is still our tendency to play with the iPhone/​iPad, listen to music, read,…whatever. Imagine being able to take a break from literally ALL sensory input and let your mind and body relax.
Enter the experience at The Float Spot. A place where you can find TOTAL escape from everything and a fantastic way to reset your mind and body.
Concept
The idea is simple. Give people an ability to safely remove all the exterior inputs (noise, light, worries, stress) using a HUGE pod style tank of warm, calming water. The water is 10 – 12 inches deep and contains a high concentration of magnesium and salts which instantly keep your body floating. No children’s arm floatees needed here. Your body will automatically rise in the water, giving you the feeling of weightlessness and escape from gravity. For those with claustrophobia, you CAN control whether or not the pod door is closed or remains open. You also have a calming blue light in the tank which you can keep on or switch off at any time. The experience is TOTALLY SAFE and you’re in control 100% of the time.
My experience
I joined some co-​workers at The Float Spot for a team building activity. We were greeted by the owner Ray and shown around the spa. Now I’m somewhat of a germ-​a-​phobe so I was happy to see how this place is extremely clean. No trash, no clutter and all of the float pod rooms and equipment are hygienically disinfected, cleaned and prepared for each customer. The water in the pod is filtered and crystal clear.
Tip: Before floating, I DO strongly recommend the full «dry» hydro massage. It seemed to really relax me first before going into the float and helped to relieve any of my first time anxieties.
When the time came to float, I found myself wondering if I could actually get in and enjoy it. It took all of about 4 – 5 minutes to get in, get comfortable and get to a point where all my thoughts, anxieties, worries, and stress began to slowly unravel. And then the magic started happening. Its hard to describe, as everyone’s experience will be different, but as I was laying there, floating in the water, my mind started to wonder… then it started to focus… not on a particular worry or a problem, but on just me… the sound of my breathing and of my heartbeat. How natural and basic it was, but necessary for my life. And for the next 60 minutes, that’s all I thought about… not about work, or emails or things I had to get done. It was all about me… and that’s exactly how it should be!
Finishing up the hour, getting up and rinsing off, I found myself feeling so mellow, relaxed and reset. I felt as if I had slept for a couple of hours, but not groggy. I didn’t have the desire to immediately check my phone or emails. I was just there. Calm, relaxed and feeling amazing for the rest of the night.
Conclusion
Float is an amazing way to re-​center your body and your mind and I expect that I will continue going every week or so to just get away from it all and to feel whole again. The Float Spot effectively creates this sensory oasis in a world full of crazy. I do recommend if it’s your first time, to take the time to look around the spa, get the hydro massage to loosen you up and then just go for it. You’ll walk out with a refreshed mind and body and soon you’ll be going back for more bliss!
Highly recommended and perfect for stressed out people!
