• The use of drugs, medications, or alcohol before or during the float session may lead to dizziness or unconsciousness and is prohibited.

Floatation Liability Waiver
We want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience with us at Shvaas Spa. We ask that you be aware and agree to the following information and policies:
It is up to each individual to take caution to prevent slipping or falling as floor surfaces may be wet. The facility is cleaned between each session and the float water is treated for health and safety as approved by the South Carolina Department of Health and/or the local health department. It is not certain whether the treatment method is or is not effective. Float water quality is monitored by periodic bacteriological testing. Treatment exceeds Floatation Tank Association standards.
I, the willing customer, will NOT use the float tank if:
• I have not showered thoroughly and still have oils, lotions, creams, makeup, mascara or other products on my body.
• I have had any type of hair color or dye treatment that transfers color when wet, or use wax/oil in my hair/dreadlocks.
• I have used a spray tan or other chemical tanner on my skin within the past two weeks.
• I have experienced vomiting or diarrhea within the past two weeks.
• I have received chemotherapy within the past two weeks.
• I have a communicable or infectious skin condition, disorder, or disease.
• I am under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• I have open sores or a new tattoo that has not fully healed.
• I have kidney disease or am diabetic, unless my diabetes is under medical control.
• I have a history of heart trouble, epilepsy, seizures or blackouts and have not received my doctor’s permission to use the
flotation tank.
• I am experiencing a heavy menstrual period. Please reschedule if there is a chance any menstrual blood could come out
into the water.
• I have a condition which may be adversely affected by cutaneous absorption of magnesium.
• I am mobility-limited or unable to get myself into or out of the tank without assistance.
• I may release bodily fluids, voluntarily or involuntarily, into the float tank.
I understand that any violation of these rules or any other action, voluntarily or involuntarily, that results in contamination of the float water may result in a cleaning and salt replacement fee of up to $2,000.
Recommendations
Do you color or dye your hair?
Do not use the float pod if your hair coloring is still bleeding/transferring color when wet. To test, wet your hair and rub it vigorously with a white towel. If there is any color transfer, you cannot float. Permanent hair dyes that are not bleeding color are OK.
