Not all superheros wear capes, you rock Noriko!!!!!…read more I can't recommend the salon and the stylist that helped me enough. Noriko saved the day when I came in after cutting my own hair poorly. She immediately assessed what needed to be corrected and fixed it with ease. She was efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, and gave me what is genuinely the best haircut I've ever had. What makes the experience better is the value. For only $10, the quality and attention to detail were exceptional--far better than experiences I've had at salons where I've paid significantly more. It's rare to find someone with this level of skill who is also so efficient and affordable. Noriko is fantastic if you're looking for a new go-to stylist, or if you are looking for someone to save the day. If you're in need of someone who is talented, precise, and can quickly understand exactly what your hair needs, I highly recommend seeing her at Ulta Oceanside. 10/10 experience.

In particular, I went to go get some Mac studio fix powder. The store was busier than I've ever seen any Ulta, which caught me by surprise. It took me a while to find an associate to help. They would make eye contact and keep walking. I finally asked someone to help me color match. It had been years since I used the studio fix and I loved it when I was younger but found it hard to be matched. She tried a few colors on me and decided on one. It looked okay to me but it's so hard to tell in store. She also explained to me that the formulation had changed over the years and it wasn't the same as it used to be. They no longer use talc. She expressed that some people like it, and some people do not. I had no idea so I'm glad she told me. I ended up asking a few other sales people where to find items I was looking for, one pointed in the direction and one actually took me there. I sampled a few items through testers, but decided to stick with just the pressed powder for now. There was a long line to check out, but there was quite a few cashiers and they were opening more as I waited. The line moved quickly and I was able to pay for my item and ask questions about the return policy in case I didn't like the new formula . When I got home, I tested my new product and unfortunately it's a bit orange on me so I'll be bringing it back. Also, I do not like the new formulation it's very different (obviously not ulta's fault) and the coverage is weak so I am happy the employee on the floor let me know. I like ultas selection and sales, the service is hit or miss, but I'll keep coming back for the great deals.

Some of the staff didn't really think the brand was that good. I totally understand if brand doesn't work for them, but my heart was so set on it so I kind of got bummed.

Such a sweet person and he was so helpful. Definitely changed my experience at the store. He was so patient with me and helped me find exactly what I needed. If you need anything you go to Ruben!

I tried to call to make an appointment for 2 days. Their phones weren't working so I drove to the…read morestore and walked in to make appointments for 2 makeovers. That should have been my first clue about how unprofessional that store is. Made appointments for my niece and I to have makeovers. Niece was scheduled for 2:00 pm on a Tuesday, I was scheduled for 3:00 pm. We arrived a couple of minutes before our appointment times. We were acknowledged and told Jennifer would be with us shortly and to have a seat. 22 minutes later, Jennifer sauntered out finishing her lunch. No smile or greeting or apology for making us wait. She began working on my niece and within 1 minute, left her for 7 minutes with no acknowledgement. She went to help someone else. She came back and within 4 minutes was gone again to take a phone call to do some staff scheduling. The whole appointment was supposed to be an 45 minutes to an hour. From start to finish, it look about 1/2 hour but here's the thing - she only actually worked on my niece for a TOTAL of 13 minutes, and left the appointment 12 times. I counted. Yes, 12 times. Unacceptable. Next was my turn. Juan was assigned to me. He was 16 minutes late because he had to clean his brushes. If they know when their appointments are scheduled, why aren't they staffed and ready? Why weren't his brushes clean? I was there on time. Why couldn't they be on time? And if I am paying for their attention, I do NOT want them wandering away during my appointment to help someone else. I dropped $200 on products. You'd think they'd be willing to be a little more professional. The makeup was very pretty but I cannot recommend that store for makeovers. They are completely, unacceptably unprofessional. Never again will I set foot in that store. I will buy my product online and if I ever want a makeover again, I'll go to a different brand or store. Truly horrible customer service. I couldn't even bring myself to tip the artists. Not for poor service like that.
