Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Find answers to the most common questions about Floating Therapy. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please contact us.
I get anxious in small spaces. Is floating suitable for someone with mild claustrophobia?
Many people with mild claustrophobia are comfortable floating because tanks can be used with the lid partially open and the lights on. Lumina’s staff will walk you through the setup, let you control lighting and sound, and stay nearby for reassurance. If you have severe claustrophobia or a history of panic attacks, discuss it during booking so the team can recommend alternatives or a gradual intro.
I work near O’Hare and have a limited schedule – can I fit a float into an after-work or mid-day window?
Floating is flexible but not usually a very short appointment. Expect 60 or 90 minutes in-tank plus time for showering and check-in, so block about 90 to 120 minutes for a comfortable experience. Lumina offers evening and weekend slots to accommodate shift workers and commuters; call or check availability online to find times that fit your schedule.
What are the easiest ways to get to Lumina from Des Plaines – driving, public transit, or rideshare?
Driving is the most direct option and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic; Lumina is in Schiller Park just south of O’Hare with convenient access from I-90 and I-294. Many guests also use rideshare or taxi for a no-hassle trip because there is a clear drop-off at the front door and onsite parking for clients. Public transit is possible but may require a short ride or transfer from Des Plaines stations, so check schedules and allow extra time.
Is Lumina’s float experience noticeably different from closer, budget options near Des Plaines, and is it worth the drive?
Lumina focuses on a personalized, no-rush care model with modern, private float rooms and a calming clinic environment. You’ll get a pre-session consultation, temperature-controlled sensory reduction, and staff available for after-session guidance. For many Des Plaines guests who value a quieter, more guided experience-especially for sleep or stress relief-that level of attention and facility quality makes the short drive worthwhile.
I have long or color-treated hair, will the float tank’s saltwater affect it and how should I prepare or protect my hair for a session at Lumina in Schiller Park?
Float tanks use highly concentrated Epsom salt, which can leave hair feeling dry and may gradually affect some color treatments. To protect your hair: avoid heavy styling products the day of your visit, tie long hair up or braid it, rinse or wet hair briefly before entering, and use the private shower and conditioner after your session. Lumina provides towels and a shower area and can offer a swim cap on request; plan an extra 10-15 minutes for pre/post‑float rinsing if you have color-treated hair.
