I'm starting to feel like the Goldilocks of infrared sauna studios after having previously tried Lumos in Rochester (which I've also reviewed). This time I opted to visit Saunacuse for a little sauna time and self-care. Located in the Dietz Lantern Factory building, Saunacuse is a nicely laid out sauna studio that provides an infrared sauna experience + chromotherapy options. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by a friendly member of the staff, asked if it was my first infrared sauna experience, and was then asked what colors I'd like to utilize for my chromotherapy option. Unlike with my experience at Lumos (where you're able to change the chromotherapy settings yourself - and I utilized 3 chromotherapy colors during my 45 minutes, 15 minutes each), the staff person introducing you to the sauna space sets your chromotherapy colors before your sauna time begins. Personally, I like having the option to control my chromotherapy color options... though I understand they set the colors for you because it's generally more beneficial to utilize 1 or 2 chromotherapy colors for your sauna session, rather than having multiple colors for a shorter period of time. With my red (activates the circulatory and nervous systems) and orange (helps address asthma and bronchitis) chromotherapy options ready to go, the staff person noted the timer for my session, lavender cloth for after my sauna, where to drop all towels once the sauna time was completed, and so on. All very helpful info... and, once ready, I hopped in the sauna with my coconut water (brought my own because you should always be sure to hydrate!) and enjoyed my 45 minutes of detoxifying bliss. Additional note: there are definitely some wins for this space by comparison to other locations. At Lumos, for example, each sauna was located in a room that didn't have full walls around it / had an open top. Saunacuse has their saunas in individual rooms, so you are buffered from outside sound... definitely appreciated as I'm enjoying my sweaty zen. All in all, very happy with my infrared sauna experience at Saunacuse... and I'd like to give it a 4.5 rating, but opted to round down because I just couldn't quite round up to a 5/5 review. I would certainly recommend it though and fully expect to make return visits! read more

Started coming here after having back pain. I'm not sure about the whole UV light aspect if it actually works. They have a a variety of colors to choose from and they apparently have different effects on the body. The heat definitely helped my pain and inflammation. I appreciate how clean the saunas are and the attentiveness of the staff. I really only come here when they're running specials as their regular pricing is a bit high for my liking. I can only withstand 30 min sessions as I sweat my ass off. They have music you can play inside the booth and it's relaxing. Love the lavender washcloth provided afterwards. Stay hydrated! read more

Reasonable pricing and options for shorter sessions, relaxing atmosphere and private saunas, great for couples. They provide nice cold towels at the end, and sell local cold pressed juice, both pretty standard for something like this but a nice touch nonetheless. I do wish the location were a little more convenient and they didn't give you a weird ~light therapy~ talk before you start your session read more

I have been coming to Saunacuse for a couple of years now, can't believe I haven't written a review sooner. I tend to visit the sauna more in the winter months than in the summer. You can purchase single sessions or packages for either 30 or 45 minutes. From the minute you walk in the experience is amazing. Gina is so friendly and welcoming. She is very knowledgeable about infrared saunas and will answer all your questions. Before your session, you can select the chromotherapy colors you would like to use. You are provided a chart which explains each of the colors and Gina will also explain to you. Now it's time for your session to begin. The sauna is equipped with Pandora Radio and a DVD player so you have options during your session. I prefer to listen to music and just chill out. It's the fastest 45 minutes of the day. When your session ends, you are provided a cool lavender scented towel to cool off with. This is an amazing touch, love it. Book a session, you will definitely not be disappointed! read more
