I personally enjoy shopping at Ulta Beauty with my daughter. She and I browse the store and I learn a lot about skin care, which is something I never thought I'd care about. Once you have a daughter and she's old enough, it's a great store to spend a little time together. One note: we tend to walk out spending more than we anticipated. Not sure if that's good or bad. read more

I prefer Ulta over Sephora, and this is my go-to Ulta location. The store is spacious and organized. Sometimes, certain aisles have low stock or are fairly picked over, but I've always been able to find what I need. Pro tip, you can go on Ulta's website and see if they have the product (including the shade/color) you want in-stock at this location to save you the disappointment. Typically, this store is lacking in floor staff, but on my most recent visit, I noticed there were more floaters in each section asking if I needed help. Part of me wonders if this is because of the "tweens in Sephora" craze, but I appreciated that staff checked in on me to see if I needed assistance. One of them gave me a great recommendation for an eye cream that was more effective (and less expensive!) than the one I was initially eyeing. The one piece of feedback I have is that the cashiers are typically apathetic or just very friendly. I distinctly remember a time when a guest asked if someone could help her in the Clinique section, and the cashier said "No...we don't have anyone working over there today." read more

The people were super nice. I recommend going here The workers were present and nice. I respect it.

Friendly staff, clean, with a lot of options not found in smaller stores. Would definitely shop here again.

Service was just okay. The store seemed to be about 87% stocked, but unfortunately was missing more than a few of the items I needed. Checkout could have been friendlier, but, an option to order online and pick up in store is available. read more

Don't trust the hours for this store. You could make the 40 minute drive to town only to find out that they aren't open because of a piece of paper on the door. I think shipping might have been cheaper than my gas. read more

This Ulta is so inconsistent and the staff are not very helpful and rude. They never have what I'm looking for in stock. Today I asked if there was anyone doing eyebrows and was told no we are not taking any appointments and then later a patron was standing at the salon register to get her eyebrows waxed because they were doing eyebrow services. When I did check out the gal at the register asked if I found what I was looking for and I named two things I couldn't get... Avatar Palette and Gucci Bloom fragrance and the response was "oh!" And she was pretty much an insolent little brat the rest of the transaction, when I asked if I had any rewards I was told no without her even looking was handed my receipt without a thank you or any other word. This was not the only bad experience here but my latest so really, save yourself the disappointment and go to Sephora! read more

I went in for foundation. I was interested in changing brands, so needed advice and color matched. Initially, no one was in the prestige section so I just perused the aisles. Then someone (who I perceived to be in management) walked up and asked if I was doing ok. This was Gabby. I explained what I needed. Gabby listened and tried a few foundations until she found the perfect one that addressed my concerns. Afterwards, I asked her to help with another product and again, she was great and being patient, listening to what I wanted, and finding what I wanted. Later as I was walking through the store, I noticed she was taking the same approach with others. Hoping Gabby is there every time I need something! read more

I was SO excited to go buy a perfume I've been wanting to buy for awhile at this Ulta. I also planned to buy a few other items while I was there. The perfume I wanted was locked up because it's expensive. I could not find anyone to help me. I eventually saw three women just standing by the front registers just casually talking to each other. I stared at them for about five minutes, but I guess their conversation was too important to help me. So, I left without buying anything, again they did not stop their conversation as I walked right by them on my way out. Instead, I drove over to the Sephora in Clay Terrace where they happily helped me and accepted my money. Go to Sephora instead of this Ulta. Sephora definitely wants your business - unlike Ulta. read more

Reason why I never go into this place and reason I will never return and I will never recommend. Just because I didn't care to give my phone number.. they pass on MY savings to someone else who will NEVER do anything for me. That's NOT a way to get a customer. You're so willing to NOT encourage new customers. No worry, I won't be back. I will never recommend and be quick to discourage shopping there. Not that you'll care... read more

Despite the needed changes to their business, ULta still greets me when I come in and occasionally asks if I need help. There is plenty of options here and I love that you can get both high end and lower cost options. They have all their samples taped in place and signs around that says "do not touch. Displayed for texture and color only." Ok but why where more than half of the testers closed with lids? A fine idea but just ended up looking messy and unnecessary. read more

The employees were so nice and I found the best make up for me and the best skin care

My daughter LOVES getting her brows done here and we will keep coming here ONLY for Camilla to do her brows. MY daughter and I were walking around waiting for her appointment just to be stalked by one particular employee. I don't know what she thought was happening but she stared us down and followed us everywhere in the store. She made us feel very uncomfortable. She didn't speak to us just just followed us. She went towards the back, talked with a few other ladies working here and when I looked up they are all staring at us. I would have felt differently if she had asked if we had questions or if she thought we looked like we had questions but this turned into an uncomfortable experience that would keep me from coming back to browse the store! VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

Rude. I don't need my hand held in a store, but I also am not sure why I have to apologize for interrupting the conversation of the 3 workers standing in front of the expensive product that I want to buy. They gave me a dirty look, for making them move to carry on their complaining about where they work. I am tired of paying top dollar to be treated badly. read more

Just walked out of the Greyhound location. There were at least 6-8 people working and they were all having their own conversations. They were too busy to help customers looking for something. I was not even acknowledged when I walked in and was not asked if they could help look for something. Unbelievable! read more

Usually have a very good experience at Ulta. I was in line and it finally came time to check out. The girl was not friendly at all and after I paid and she put my stuff in the bag, she didn't even hand me it but decided to toss it across the counter to me and goes "here you go." I was shocked. read more

I've heard so many bad experiences at this Ulta store. It's not even just that it's their stores in Indiana in general. I've always received crappy customer service and rude workers. If I'm coming into your store when I could go to SEPHORA and receive much more polite and respectful service then don't treat me like I caused your bad day. I will never be shopping at this store again! Ive spent hundreds of dollars only to receive a bag with a broken handle and she knew the handle was broken when she handed me the bag. Never again. read more

Expensive stylists. I go someplace, now that charges $80, for the exact same service that Ulta was charging $270 for services. Also, they are always out of products. They will tell you that a certain manufacturer has discontinued a product, & try to sell you something else. I've gone online and found those products that were "supposedly" discontinued. Don't waste your time. read more

Had a pick up order and I thought it would be a quick easy process after work to get my items. I had my email ready on my phone to show the cashier, she said let me see your ID, then she found the first item, the second she couldn't find. Two more ladies come up to assist. The employees here are not friendly, or courteous. What a waste of my time. read more

Stay away from these "beauty specialists" I went in to get my hair done and they told me it would be $60. I wanted my hair dyed one color and I was going from blonde to dark brown. The woman did a terrible job and didn't cover up any of the blonde and then had the audacity to charge me $200 for it!!! What the hell? She used like $10 box dye. Crazy. Will never return and don't recommend this terrible service to anyone read more

I made the trip to the Carmel Ulta because I'd been trying to track down a sold out highlighter for a couple of months. Today, the Ulta website showed this location had received one in their shipment. I called to make sure this was accurate. The girl I spoke with on the phone was willing to go check on its existence, and to put the item aside for me until I could get there. Did I mention I'd been trying to get my hands on it for months? It was a mad dash to Carmel, I assure you. Upon my arrival, I sensed how different this location is from my local Ulta. As soon as I walked in, I was cheerfully greeted by several associates. For someone who might be new to prestige cosmetics, I realize this environment might feel a little alienating; a gigantic store filled to the brim with lotions and potions, and beautifully made up women bustling around. However, I watched as the artists at this location made everyone who walked through the door feel welcome and assisted. In each area of the store, the associates were eager to point out new products for me to try. They were all very helpful in deciding on a shadow palette that will allow me to create a particular look for Halloween . At checkout, the cashier was an absolute pleasure to make small talk with. Side note- I noticed this location has the infamous Benefit Brow Bar. I did not make use of this service, but after seeing a few sets of gorgeous eyebrows leaving, I'll be sure to book an appointment the next time mine need a waxing. All in all, this was a great shopping experience. I'll be using this as my home store from now on. Keep up the good work, ladies! read more

I have had my haircut at ULTA for over 2 years. The cut, blowout and style are great. Initially they charged $37 which is very reasonable but they kept raising the price to $42 then $47. I started asking how much it was when I made the appointment. I was looking for a salon which was above a Great Clips but less than an higher end place. Getting a $57 haircut (including a 20% tip) every 6 to 8 weeks is bit much for my budget. I started going much longer between haircuts. If it was in a more expensive city like Chicago, San Francisco, NYC, I could see the reason for substantial price increases. This is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The service is fine - my stylist is friendly and does a great job. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, and some with great makeup! My only issue is that so many of the good products were out of stock! The store seemed a bit messy, with things out of place or unorganized. I was a little upset when an item I wanted to purchase was incorrectly in a clearance area so I passed on the item. I did purchase a couple items but would've certainly purchased more had the colors of things I wanted been in stock. Like the NYX praline lip gloss, eyebrow pencil (out online too), and The Warrior eyeshadow palette. read more

Ugh, I hate that I'm doing this. Either I have really bad luck with timing my store visits or they never get any shipments of items. Feels like during every visit I've had since I posted my initial review, I'm disappointed by the major lack of the products I need/want. And it's not just one brand. It's hair color, concealers, face wash, mascaras, etc. Everything across the board. What gives, Ulta? I end up going to the corner drugstore that has those brands and finding what I'm looking for there, but I expect the beauty store to carry the big-name beauty products I need. read more

I just wouldn't. I've had better color with at home process and a better haircut at Great Clips. Expensive lesson.......

Be sure to ask what "level" your stylist is before booking and check the cost of whatever you are having done. I had to go to this salon in a pinch for a blow dry and style, thinking I would spend $25-40 as I typically do at my usual salon. I was charged $57. When I called to ask the manager if this price was correct, she rudely told me the stylist "did me a favor" by not charging an extra $15-20 for the curling iron she used to style, as that's extra. Never have I heard of a blow dry and style costing this much. My stylist was great, but the cost was absolutely absurd for the services I received. read more

Katie did an amazing job on my hair! I moved to Indiana a year and a half ago and I have been driving back to illinois to my stylist, because I have been nervous to have anyone new touch my hair. After six months of trying to make time to get back to Illinois, I gave up and made an appointment online. I am so happy that I ended up with Katie! My bangs are the best they've ever looked and my hair is perfectly layered, shaped, and styled! Thanks Katie - I'll see you in 8 weeks! read more

I had previously had an ombré coloring, but one day decided that I wanted it brown again. This was a mistake. So, I went to Ulta and was assessed by Tiffany, the hair salon manager and she told me up front that she felt my hair was too damaged to get back blonde at that time. Although I was upset at first, I really appreciated her being honest with me and really caring about the condition my hair was in, instead of just doing it for the money. I came in twice to get conditioning treatments and the third time, she did a balayage coloring on my hair. I absolutely love my hair now and it is back blonde! I would highly recommend her and the salon at this Ulta! Thank you Tiffany! read more

I bought a color correcting palette from this Ulta and had to return it because it had been opened. There was a hair in one of the colors and another color had been smeared around and had some kind of speck of an unknown material. It kind of looked like a scab. I went in to return it and the cashier told me I could try to find one to exchange it. She also called up an employee to help look for one. I watched the woman helping me walk over to one shelf, look for 2 seconds and then go back to doing something completely unrelated to my palette. I decided to go up and just get my money back and I watched tons of employees chatting with each other while there was a line of customers piling up. I expect more from Ulta. read more

Love shopping in a store with everything under the sun, and so many helpful people who will navigate the thousands of products that overwhelm me. Saturday's usually have artists in to help with eye brow shaping, and other cosmetic consults. Be sure to join their rewards club for extra discounts in addition to the coupons available either online or in their mobile app. The ULTA products are great themselves, so here fun finding your next favorite go-to item that you didn't know you needed. read more

I get that it just opened, but I went in for a specific makeup item, it wasn't stocked. There were boxes of the brand I needed open and laying on the floor waiting to be put out on shelves, and a lady who worked there kept walking past me even though I looked confused, tried to get eye contact to get her attention, but she ignored me to walk in circles and check herself out in mirrors. Not one person in 20 min asked if I needed help. Walked out without purchase. read more

BEWARE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HAIR!! I am writing this on behalf of my wife as she does not have a Yelp account plus the fact that I witnessed this shameful attempt at a purple streaking job by this salon. My wife went in for a shampoo and cut along with a purple streak job. They did a horrible job cutting her hair and basically butchered it. She was supposed to return a week later for the purple streaking. I guess I should have tried to talk her out of it but I didn't. The girl who attempted to streak her hair ended up dying her entire head purple and after my wife freaked out about it she then attempted to dye some spots or streaks back to blonde again and it ended up being orange. Yes; her entire head of hair was orange. My wife was so upset she just walked out with wet orange hair. I don't even know what to say. If you care about your hair at all; DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON read more

My friend and I stopped by to look around not knowing Ulta was closed because all the light were on and such, we went to open the door and it was locked.. no problem so we started to walk away and the employee (black hair and glasses, a little older) gave us the SNOBBIEST and rudest look and shook her head no over and over to get it across that they were closed, which we obviously figured out because we were making our way back to the car. read more

This review is based on my experience at the salon. My daughter and I went to Alex...she was fantastic! She really listened to us, was kind & friendly, and did not dismiss any suggestions we had. We now have our stylist! read more

Had a blowout by Tiffany and I LOVED it! Best shampoo I've ever had (I nearly fell asleep, that's how you know it's good) and the blowout was perfect. Friendly service and reasonably priced. Would go again in a heartbeat! read more

Finally, I had a GREAT hair salon experience! It was my first time to use Ulta's hair salon. My colorist / stylist Shawna did a fantastic job. She had to truly use all of her coloring skills to repair my hair. The cut was great too. Finally, I've found my salon and stylist. read more

Did a lovely job on my hair for prom. Made it look absolutely perfect and exactly how I wanted it. Have a picture of what style you want and they can literally duplicate it. I did get my makeup done here once and it wasn't the greatest looking but gave me some tips to create something I liked. Otherwise I love this store. read more

Love this Ulta! I've had great experiences with the helpful staff, getting me set up with the right foundation and lipstick. Also, love Cassandra! She's an incredible hair stylist who does excellent work. Very happy with the service I've received here. read more

I love this store and salon! Kelsey is wonderful - she is very sweet and she always does a great job! Definitely see her if you want your hair to look fabulous! Will be making this my regular spot! read more
