I needed a quick haircut, so I booked an appointment at Ulta for the next day. I was ready to freshen up my look and planned to cut at least five inches for a shoulder-length, bob-style cut. I'm so glad Dorie was my stylist! I showed her a few photos of the style I wanted, and she immediately understood the vision. The result turned out even better than I imagined. I really appreciated how well she listened and how comfortable she made me feel. I knew I could trust her with my hair. It even got the husband stamp of approval, haha. Highly recommend Dorie! read more

I wanted to get tinsel on my hair after watching a video about it, so i called the store beforehand and made sure to set up an appointment at 4:00PM the lady told me that i have to be there on time as they charge 15 dollars per 15 min of work regardless of how much tinsel they put it. I got to the store a few minutes prior to 4:00PM and let her know that i have an appointment, she told me to wait since it was only 3:58 and my actual appointment was at exactly 4:00. I waited and didn't get talked to until 4:08 which wouldn't have been an issue if they weren't charging a dollar per minute. when i was sat the lady showed me a picture as a reference which i liked, but when she actually installed the tinsel it looked nothing like the picture, it was very empty and she ended up charging me 30 dollars for what i believe was not worth 30 dollars of time, work, or product. and the worst part is as soon as i left the store the tinsel started falling out of my hair as per the picture that i showed. and now 2 days later i have NO tinsel left and the Qtips that they installed are so close to my scalp to the point where they're painful to even touch so i am unable to remove them. the lady let me know at the store if they made me uncomfortable (seems like she knew) i would have to come back and pay to get them removed. overall terrible i would not recommend going. read more

I stopped by Ulta with absolutely no intention of buying anything. I just wanted to browse the fragrance section and see what was new. Somehow, that turned into one of the best shopping experiences I've had thanks to Kayla! She was working the floor and started helping me with fragrances, but what really stood out was how incredibly knowledgeable she is. I wasn't expecting to get a mini history lesson on how Christian Dior helped shape the modern perfume industry, how fragrances evolved over time, the people who influenced the craft, and what makes certain scents unique. You can tell she's genuinely passionate about what she does, and it made the whole experience so much more interesting. On top of that, her recommendations were thoughtful and personalized. I never felt pressured to buy anything. It honestly felt like I was talking to someone who truly loves sharing their knowledge instead of just trying to make a sale. From what she told me, she's only there on Saturdays. If you're looking for a new fragrance, cologne, perfume, or even advice on hair products, do yourself a favor and ask for Kayla. You'll leave learning something new, and I have no doubt you'll have a great experience too. Thank you again, Kayla! read more

Richie has been doing an excellent job of coloring and cutting my curly hair for years, and he also flat-irons it. I am very happy with his service and love all my hair coloring and haircuts. read more

I am extremely disappointed with both the makeup and hair services I received. The makeup was applied very unevenly, especially around the eyes. The eyeliner was different on each side, and the overall eye makeup looked completely unbalanced. It was so noticeable that multiple people commented on it and asked why each side of my face looked different. This is not what I expected from a professional makeup artist. The hair service was just as disappointing. My hair was left frizzy and looked unfinished. I was told it would be touched up and gone over before I left, but that never happened. Instead of a polished style, my hair looked messy and poorly done. What makes this even more frustrating is that I tipped for the service, expecting quality work and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I left feeling embarrassed rather than confident. I would not recommend this service based on my experience. read more

Visited Ulta's salon for a blowout recently and it was an alright experience. My true rating would be closer to a 3.5 to be fair. I checked in on time for my appointment and was told to wait, as my stylist was still finishing up with a client and would be called over once she was done. I waited about 15 minutes before I got up to check in about my appointment. Apparently, the stylist wasn't aware that I checked in already and was waiting for her. There appeared to be a slight misunderstanding and this resulted in my service starting later and being rushed. Dorie was friendly and welcoming, and she did a thorough wash prior to blow drying my hair. I was also curious about adding curls and assumed it was included, however that was not the case. Dorie did communicate the additional cost of curling my hair ($39) and I was okay with it. She did a great job of styling my hair as requested and shared tips on how to extend the blowout for an event I was attending. While I was happy with the results, the overall experience, disorganized vibe, rushed service and lack of communication from the start left a lackluster impression. Dorie is truly great at what she does, but I am unsure on whether this specific Ulta Salon location is worth a visit. read more

I recently booked an appointment with Windy because she once did a great job fixing some botched bangs a while ago. This time, I came to her again to get a trim and hoped she could get closer to the same picture I showed another hairdresser who kind of ruined my hair half a year ago. I was so surprised when she GAVE ME AN IDENTICAL CUT TO THE PICTURE. She knew so clearly what to do just from a picture. I loved my hair so much, and she went on to style it in a way that I wasn't used to, but she assured me it'd look fantastic. Once she was done, I was in love!! I definitely wasn't used to it, but it still looked great on me, and it still does a day later. Windy is the absolute sweetest hairstylist ever, and I absolutely trust her with my life (and my hair, which is kind of the same thing) now. Even though Colma is fairly far from me, I will always come back here for any future haircuts just because Windy is that good, trustworthy, and friendly! read more

I have to start with the fact that I only use Ulta beauty on line. My experience is excellent. I like the endless variety and the timely delivery.

She walked me through the whole process, and honestly, she's been the best hairstylist I've ever gone to. She took very good care of me and went above and beyond! In the end, she suggested hair products that are beneficial for my hair. Because of Windy, I'm coming back more often and referring family and friends read more

I went in today to get a couple gifts, including Body Lava. I couldn't find it, so when I went to ask someone, I was told "they don't carry it," in a rude and condescending way, like I was stupid. I literally have a picture saying you can "ONLY" find it at Ulta from a different Ulta location. I was going to show them the picture, but they were so dismissive and rude that I preceded to find it on my own. The cashier at the front was also extremely rude and unfriendly. I think they all to work on their customer service skills. I work retail myself and I think they could use some work. read more

I've been seeing Mara for about eight years now for my hair maintenance. She's super talented in how she cuts my hair. I have long, thick hair, and Mara has always helped me over the years in taking care of it. She has a special touch in how she cuts my bangs, and I only prefer her to do it. More recently, she showed me a good shampoo and conditioner for my hair. I chose to purchase the Verb brand, and I am enjoying it so far. It is also at an affordable price and not too expensive. Outside of the salon, I enjoy the various items they have in the store, ranging from makeup to perfumes. The app also makes it nice to save money once you've activated enough points through various deals. read more

I don't know if it's because of the change of staff/management over the years but the quality of service has really gone down in the salon. From extra charges due to my hair being thick without being told beforehand and it not being stated online nor in company policy to remarks- I hope that there is extra training implemented in this place for hair stylists. I've been a long time customer at ulta over the years at this salon and in Pinole and both establishments need to do better. I tip each time after service and have a positive demeanor. read more

Got my first cut and color at this location with Windy. I highly recommend her. She is very nice and will make sure you get exactly what you want, walking you through the process. I left feeling amazing! Everyone at this location, from other salon staff to store staff, are very kind and helpful. Having just moved to this area I'm very happy I found a new Ulta to call home. read more

This review is for Windy. She is so knowledgeable about hair. I came in for a blowout and she convinced me to get my haircut. I didn't realize how bad I needed a styled cut. I came out absolutely loving my hair. A month later I came back for full highlights. We talked about what color I was looking for and she gave me her suggestions. The color came out gorgeous and looked so natural. I ended purchasing some of the products she recommended and my hair has never felt better. Since it was my bday present, I also treated myself to an eyebrow tint, which came out great. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable about all things hair, is amazing at what they do and is super sweet, then Windy is your person. I have thick curly hair and she knows how to give an amazing blowout! read more

Been going to Hallie to get my all over color and cut. She is the best and always gives great service to me and my girls. My color and cut always comes out great and her customer service is top notch. She has great attention to detail when she worked on my hair. There is one thing that was concerning when I was at my appointment on 11/2 had to do with the receptionist that came on duty. She appeared to be sick and coughing all over the reception area of the salon. She didn't have any mask on and was constantly coughing at the register answering the phone calls and checking in clients. With flu season nearing you would think she would take the courtesy to wear a mask when checking in clients and not cough all over the reception station. Every time she coughed, it irked me that she is spreading her germs nearby. I understand times are rough and people can't afford to take time off but have the courtesy to prevent the spread of germs to customers and co workers by wearing a mask and sanitize the work space. read more

I had a spur the moment idea to get my brows done and after reading a few reviews I decided to book with Windy. She waxed, tinted and did a lamination on my brows. I hardly ever leave satisfied with my brows where ever I go but she did an AMAZING job. I absolutely love how my brows look. She fixed the shape and the lamination and tint took it to another level. She even took the time to check in with me the next morning to make sure I was happy and gave me some after care tips. I will definitely be back to see her for my brows again. read more

I've been to ulta multiple times in Colorado. I moved here temporarily and decided to get my hair done. I called and made an apt (told them over the phone what I needed done. Didn't request a specific stylist). When the receipt came I was SHOCKED by the price. I normally pay $100 in Colorado - for the exact service I was charged $200 more just because I had an "elite stylist" who I never requested. A tiny trim off the bottom was $92! thats insane. The client should be informed they're getting an "elite stylist" and of the price difference over the phone. Following my appt I noticed my face was torn apart by my temples. The stylist was scrubbing my skin trying to take the hair dye off my face and caused my skin to tear. If I could post pictures on here of my skin I would. I'm extremely upset by all of this. I will not be returning to this location ever again. read more

I want to give a huge thank you to Windy, my stylist--she did an absolutely amazing job! I got several services done: Curling/Flat Iron Style Express Keratin Treatment Add-On Scalp Renew Treatment Signature Haircut Windy massaged all the treatments into my scalp with care and gave me one of the best washes I've ever had. My haircut turned out great--I walked in with frizzy, lifeless hair and walked out with smooth, healthy, gorgeous hair. You can tell she has years of experience under her belt. If you're thinking of booking a service, I highly recommend Windy! read more

I got my hair colored by one of the hair stylists, Windy and really enjoyed my experience with her. She's very knowledgeable about hair health and coloring hair. She also appears to know a lot about curly hair as well (though I haven't had a curly cut from her just yet). Windy is super friendly and you can tell she really loves what she does. I recommend her for coloring services, as I really like how my hair came out. Thanks Windy. read more

Ulta Beauty in Colma is a great go-to spot for hair, skincare and cosmetic lines and products, especially including odd or little known beauty or cosmetic lines or supplies. But also other brands like Avené, Clarins, Dermalogica, Perricone and more. I've run into Ulta plenty of times when I cannot find a certain product nearby and, lo, and behold Ulta's got it in stock!! A good day! Their pricing can be really good especially during sales but you need to move quickly because seasoned shoppers will stock up. Fortunately, you can also order online as well if you cannot make it into the store. Honestly, it's fun to browse through what's new and check out the latest hot item or product! Ulta also offers services, probably most by appointment, for hair, waxing & brows, makeup and lashes, and skincare consultations. Parking is plentiful. Staffing is usually nice and helpful. Will get an occasional staff member who seems sorry to have encountered a customer. But thank goodness, most staff members are nice and helpful. Lol. Checkout can tedious if there's a sale on or it's the holidays. I don't remember seeing all the cashier stations open even during a sale. All in all, Ulta is my regular stop to shop for the hair, skincare and cosmetic products and tools I need. Even more so during sales. See you there! read more

My teenage daughter had Windy for a haircut and first time full highlights. We selected her based on the many positive reviews. Windy was amazing! She took a great deal of time and care on the whole process. Windy clearly cares about giving her clients a beautiful cut and color that sends them out happy with the look. She is also very knowledgeable about hair care and shared tips on how to keep the hair healthy. Highly recommend and will be going back to her. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Windy at Ulta- Hair Salon. From the moment my daughter and I walked in, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. This was my daughter 1st professional haircut (I've always trimmed it myself out of fear), however my cousin recommended Windy, as she just recently got her 9 y/o daughter's haircut. Windy took the time to listen to exactly what my daughter wanted and even gave expert advice on what would work best for her hair type and face shape. The result? Absolute perfection! My daughter's cut turned out even better than we imagined. The precision, the attention to detail, and the care that went into every step were truly impressive. Her hair has never looked or felt this good! Beyond Windy's incredible talent, she was also a joy to chat with--friendly, professional, and passionate about her work, and made my daughter feel very safe and heard! The salon itself was clean, stylish, and had such a relaxing atmosphere. My daughter already loved shopping at Ulta, and now she has found her own hair stylist there! If you're looking for a hairstylist who will make you look and feel amazing, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Windy Kwong at Ulta - Hair Salon in Colma, CA (280 Metro Center) ASAP. You won't regret it! read more

I placed an order at 6:30 pm not realizing they closed at 8pm instead of 9pm (my fault for not checking ) I was at the door at 7:57 and had told her my situation. I leave on vacation and won't be here when the store opens at 10 am. Eugene said my items were in the queue and it was no problem and he will go and grab them really fast to complete my order then and there! They did not have to do this but that fact that they went above and beyond was amazing! Thank you!! read more

First time at this salon, and I had a wonderful experience with Windy! She really took the time to listen to my concerns and offered thoughtful advice. She's incredibly patient and gave me the best curly haircut, a beautiful gloss treatment, and even my very first blowout. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair, and she truly impressed me--I'm now even considering coming back for an express keratin treatment! The salon is located inside a small shop, and my appointment took about three hours, so I recommend coming with time and an open mind. My hair is damaged, and she's working on it. Be patient and let Windy work her magic--you'll be glad you did! read more

This is my first experience at the ulta salon. They have an easy online system to choose a service and make an appointment. I decided to try the Cleanse, Care, and Define service. Windy called me to confirm the appointment on the same day. I booked an appointment online with Windy on my birthday. I arrived 10 minutes late and I called the salon to inform the stylist Windy, but there was no answer. As soon as I got there, I knew why. It was BUSY in the store and salon. I walked to the back where I found the salon, all the chairs were filled. I informed one of the stylists that I had an appointment with Windy. She was away, but would be right back, and told me to take a seat in the waiting area. I waited maybe 10 minutes before she appeared. I apologized for arriving late and told her I wasn't able to reach anyone when I called. She told me it's very busy today. I told her I understood and then she thanked me for being late so that she would be able to eat her lunch. I told her I'm so glad she got to eat. She was very friendly, and kind. She explained everything she was going to do and I knew what to expect. She asked questions and I answered. She always made sure I was comfortable through the wash, sitting, and propping up my feet when I was under the dryer. I was there for two hours. My hair is long, thick, and curly. I chose to do coiling with products in my hair. I wanted my natural curls to stand out. It was such a wonderful experience and I am happy with the stylist & service she performed. I felt pampered and ready for my birthday dinner. Windy, thank you so much for making my hair beautiful, I really appreciate the time, skill, and effort you took with my hair. You were so patient and determined to do it perfectly and you did! It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for the suggestions. Hope to see you next time. read more

A few weeks ago, I visited Ulta Beauty and had no idea they offered ear-piercing services for babies. That day I met Windy -- and truly, I don't think words can fully express how grateful I am for her. From the very first moment, she was unbelievably gentle, incredibly patient, and so loving with my baby. You could immediately tell that she genuinely cares about making the experience safe, calm, and comforting for both the baby and the parents. Windy took her time, explained everything with such kindness, and handled my little one with the softest touch. She made sure my baby felt secure, supported, and as relaxed as possible. When the piercing was done, my baby cried only for a few seconds -- just the natural reaction to the quick pinch -- and almost instantly calmed down. And then, to my surprise, she even smiled at Windy. That moment alone told me everything I needed to know about how special Windy is. Watching someone treat your baby with so much tenderness and care is something a mother never forgets. I left Ulta feeling peaceful, grateful, and absolutely certain that I had made the right choice. Windy made what could have been a stressful moment into a truly positive and heartwarming experience. To any parents considering getting their baby's ears pierced, I can't recommend Windy enough. Your little ones will be in the most loving and capable hands. We adore you, Windy. Thank you for everything -- you are truly the best! read more
