I got treated by Pezhmun today! Sadly I am moving, otherwise I would have tried to re-book with him. He is a fun personality and was very communicative. Would check in with me and let me know how my hair was progressing. There were little hiccups but he owned up to it and corrected it before I even noticed which means he really cares about his art and how I would feel. Honestly if i was to re-book it would probably have been like well past September or maybe the 11th of November. I dunno but Gracias to Pezhmun!!! I'll recommend my friends to him for sure. read more

Azam is amazing stylist. She did my color and haircut. Really great experience. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.

Ordered the wrong shade pallet , Piper was so helpful in canceling my order and setting aside the correct one! Thank you Piper!!

There's no customer service here . No acknowledgment or engagement while shopping . Cashier just did her job. I'll come here when I already know what to get . read more

As my previous review states, curbside pickup is seamless and quick. BUT... the in store experience is COMPLETELY different. I've been inside twice, and both times the employees were snooty and dismissive. Not to mention it's nearly impossible to find someone to help you. When you finally do find someone, they're short and to the point, no smiles or anything. One lady even walked away while she was talking to me lol. Also, be aware that even if the website says they have a product in stock at this location, they don't necessarily have it. That happened to me! I recommend The District location in Tustin. They actually appreciate their customers. read more

Got my hair dyed and keratin by Rose!! and I'm literally OBSESSED. Highly recommended. It feels so healthy, the color is perfect and the keratin, I don't have to straighten my hair at all and its so soft. read more

do not get me started on this place. what a MESS. I'm convinced they hire and pay you to act stuck up and lazy. It sucks when this store has essentials but i rather order online than deal with a circus. one time I was looking for an item and was walking around looking for help for so long then the seemingly nice girl said she would go to the back to grab what I was looking for...i waited and waited....and waited like an idiot for 15 minutes...only to see her suddenly at the register saying GOODBYE to her coworkers as she leaves for the day. Are you kidding me? I was in shock lol so unprofessional and rude. every time i'm here one of the employees always have to have an attitude i swear. anyways...sephora is *literally* across the street and ulta online is available everywhere. read more

Staff always act like they're too busy to help , answer questions or help look for products. Staff will straight up tell you: 'no we don't have that, we've never carried that product' .. and just leave (without suggesting different product). But more often than not I'll end up actually finding the item I came in for (without any help from staff). Incredibly frustrating! With so many Ulta and Sephora options within close proximity this location really need to step up their game . read more

Simply said amazing. I wanted a last minute long bob cut and called to make a same day appointment. Easy in and out was my overall experience. My hairdresser listened and asked the right questions to meet my needs. I brought in a few pictures to help her capture my hair vision. I'll be back, i was satisfied, amazed with price and even got an eye brown consult. Like Arnold said "I'll be back" read more

Unbelievable.... Wish Yelp had a 0 star option. I ordered a box of Ardell wispies for pick up. Came to get them and realized it the wrong kind when she opened the bag. I needed the shorter wispies for my daughter, so I asked to exchange them. First girl (checked ID) wasn't sure how to do the exchange. She tells ,who I believe is the manager, and gets another girl. Second one comes and I explained the situation. She tells me she doesn't work the registers normally and called a third person up. Third guy comes up (checks ID, gets phone number twice) and says he also couldn't do it and that I would have to wait for the manager to help me. I don't understand why it takes 4 different people to exchange a box of lashes for the exact same thing (just shorter). Manager (also checks phone number twice) says she can't do it cuz the first girl didn't compete the order pick up and we wait for her to come to complete it (even though the manager is holding the device). Not sure why she can't complete it. First girl comes and asks for my ID again. I'm pretty sure I haven't changed identities for them to check 3 times. Manager says the system is lagging and can't seem to figure out how to make it an even exchange. She finally gives up and gives me the new box. This exchange took 40 freakin minutes. I kid you not! Then she has the nerve to say "Next time, be sure to chose the right ones". Lady, your process has issues if it takes 40 minutes to exchange a box of lashes. Absolutely ridiculous customer service. read more

I asked a girl if she could tell me the difference between two Ardell lash packs. She said she doesn't wear false lashes so she wouldn't know and just left me hanging. Absolutely useless employee and horrible customer service!! I was so shocked she was no help. She didn't even refer me to a different associate for help. There's the difference right there between Sephora and Ulta!!!! And then I walk to a different section and a lady asked if I need help. I said I'm looking for this one brand. As she walks me there, she said "oh and I have stuff for your acne too" I was EXTREMELY OFFENDED because I didn't even ask or mention anything about my acne. I'm insecure about it so the fact that she pointed it out MADE ME CRY IN THE CAR AFTER!! I was so livid I wish I told her off in the store. Don't give unsolicited beauty suggestions just because you're bored at and standing there overstaffed on a Thursday. Do you want me to suggest some winkle cream for you b****? I will avoid this location next time and go out of my way to any other Ulta or better yet Sephora for real customer service. read more

I read the reviews before going to this specific Ulta and was worried that I'll have an eh experience, but I didn't. I walked in and was greeted by an employee, I turned around and she said "hi!" As I was browsing 2 employees asked if I needed any help and I answered No. The cashier was also very sweet. Overall, I love this location and had no problems. read more

I go to this Ulta frequently since it's right next to my work. I usually get the same products consistently, but I've been unsatisfied with my face makeup as my concealer gets dry, my foundation color looks slightly off, and my face gets oily in my T zone. Also, I'm overall pretty crappy at applying face makeup. My main goal going in yesterday was to find the perfect light-weight face makeup for my combination skin, enlarged pores, small fine lines & dark circles. When I visited yesterday, Mari asked if I'd like assistance. I let her know that I have difficulty finding face makeup that matches my skin color, feels light, is hydrating, etc. Mari was SO helpful and showed me multiple products that do EXACTLY what I've been hoping for! She even showed me how to apply the makeup and blend moisturizer with a concealer, which is so nice because today is my first day trying it and it already looks way better than normal. She PERFECTLY matched my skin so easily, which is something I have struggled to do (I am very fair skinned with uneven red undertones). Thanks to Mari's recommendations, I left with Dermablend concealer, "BeautyBio the Zenbubble", and I also selected Rihanna's Fenty light foundation creme. Thanks, Mari! :) read more

Extremely unprofessional. I had a blowout appointment at noon that I scheduled weeks in advance for a photo shoot that I have that same day. They call me and leave me a voice message 2 hours before my appointment telling me that it is canceled because the stylist is not showing up. They offered to reschedule for another day, which is ridiculous. When someone scheduled a blowout they need it for that day for a special occasion, you don't reschedule. Had to resort to blowing out my hair myself since no one else could take me in with such short notice. read more

I absolutely love the Tustin marketplace location. Everybody is so helpful and so friendly. I shop there a lot and I've never had any hassle or problems and all the staff are very kind. I went there today and was helped by Sarah. If you like make up like I do, I highly suggest going to the Ulta store in Tustin marketplace for all your cosmetic needs. Thank you again to the staff that was so very helpful and they might visit stress free and quick read more

I went to Ulta yesterday and I received the best costumer service I've experienced at this location. I don't know much about makeup or skin products in general so most of the time I'm going down aisle after aisle trying to look for what I need. Most of the time when I'm here I am not asked if I need help. However, yesterday was different. Dorris came up to me and asked me if I needed help after I was roaming the aisles (which felt like 20 minutes). She was extremely personable, genuine, friendly, and was knowledgeable about every product she introduced to me. She didn't make me feel like she was in a rush. Dorris took her time to create rapport and listen to my skin needs to provide me with great products. Thank you Dorris! read more

Michelle is such a sweetie she helped me shade match like 3 times, totally patient and helpful.

Please don't do the brow wax at the Benefit here! It's the worst !!! They over waxed off like half of my brow!!! Please stay away

Buyer Beware! The stylists at the salon at this location are dishonest. I was shoved to a very unskilled stylist without my knowledge. The group of stylists were all in on this scheme and charged me master stylist fees for someone who obviously did not have the skills or experience. read more

I am kind of in the middle for this location. Sometimes I leave happy, sometimes I don't. I am happiest when nobody helps me here. I am more pissy when they help me. Not once, twice but 3 visits here resulted in lack of help because I asked. One employee who offered to help me, couldnt really help me because she only does "waxing" and was unsure about current sales, promotions, ect in the haircare section. Another employee who offered to help me in the cosmetics section while looking at a specific brand of blush took me to "her contracted" brand to sell me a blush. Free gifts with purchase? Good luck. Not even halfway into day one they were already out of the redken gift with purchase. Yet signs are everywhere promoting it. The cashier said gifts go fast. I doubt they sell out 6 hours after opening in the middle of the week. The best thing about this spot is they sell MAC. I love MAC. There is also plenty of parking. read more

Been in here dozens of times but never reviewed. I'm surprised to see all the negative reviews. Staff is always welcoming and ready to assist. They don't hover like car salespeople which is nice. We came in over the weekend because I was out of foundation and lip gloss. I was wearing my Narragansett sweatshirt (hubby is from RI) and the sales associate said he said he was from Rhode Island too. GO PATRIOTS! A couple months ago we came in because my daughter is going through chemo and needed help with her eyebrows...or lack thereof. I don't recall the gal's name, but she was extremely helpful. My daughter had all kinds of questions regarding difference in brands and application tips...her first question was, "Which brands don't test on animals?" We have never had a problem with rude staff or not being able to find a sales associate. I also like this location because there are always open parking spots in front of the store. read more

got my hair done by angelica and i am in love with ittt! i am absolutely in love with my hair! the highlights turned out perfect, the color is so stunning, and my hair feels so soft and amazing with the repair treatment. she also added beautiful beach waves, giving my hair so much volume and perfect for spring! read more

My wife and I came here to shop. It was hot day. She was wearing a hat and I had sunglasses. The staff even security guard followed us like flies while we shopped. Felt super uncomfortable to the point where my wife asked me if she should take off her hat. We were just about to start work and had stopped here to shop before heading over. We were wearing company shirts. Like how dumb do you think we are if we were to steal. Staff, if you are reading this, please... NOT EVERYONE IS HERE TO STEAL. Felt completely unnecessary and incredibly obvious. Not sure we're coming back here again. read more

Hmmm.....I actually kinda dig this Ulta lol though my friend and I didn't really need much assistance besides asking if a certain eyeshadow palette was still in stock at this location (and a friendly staff member helped us with that pronto). I'm an SD gal and none of Ultas that I've been to in SD really rep on indie brands (totally geeked out at this location when I saw a Juvia's Place stand aaahhh love their eyeshadows!). Generally a good variety of makeup compared to the other Ultas I've come across. Greatly accessible with the super-easy parking and it being right off the freeway. read more

Ulta Beauty - Cute little choco bar palettes - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Irvine, California

I was standing in the same spot next to perfumes for 15min and not one employee asked me if i needed help yet they asked the woman shopping next to me if she did. So if im a guy, I don't receive customer service? I saw one employee helping out another lady and when she was done, she walked right past me and didn't even look in my direction. In that moment i left. I shouldn't have to go out of my way to chase down an employee who clearly doesnt want to help. It's their job to ask, especially when you're near the LOCKED perfume section. read more

Worst experience of my life shopping at any store. Their trackers are faulty and won't stop beeping while you shop, no perfume sample paper sticks. 0/10 experience. This store doesn't belong in tustin/Irvine read more

On Monday I booked an appointment online for a haircut for Sunday. On Friday I received a call asking me if I could come at 3PM instead of 1PM, I rearranged my schedule and told them that I could. I received a second call on Sunday, at noon telling me that the hairstylist, Desiree wasn't able to make a shift today and no one could cover for her. Very disappointing and unprofessional. read more

When I walked into the Tustin store to ask about my curbside pickup, the associate seemed bothered by me. That or she must have been having a bad day. Once she found my order I thanked her and she didn't say a word back to me. I also overheard a customer ask for help with an eyebrow pencil. An associate yelled "what eyebrow pencil do you want" from across the way. The customer said she just needed help with one. It seemed like the associate was annoyed at the woman asking for help and kept being condescending towards her. I've encountered this issue with several of this store's associates, including the lead/manager. They seem to hate being there. I don't want to leave bad reviews but this is my neighborhood store and I want to feel welcome in it. I hope they hire people who actually like helping customers. read more

Second review for this location and pleasantly surprised with the incredible service!! I went in for two specific products but was so pleased with my overall experience. I was initially asked by one associate if I needed help finding something and she quickly showed me to the product I was looking for. Then after learning the second product I was looking for had since been discontinued, I was helped by Sierra to find a new pressed powder. Sierra was so sweet and helpful that I was immediately eager to ask for her help on other products that I was curious to try. She patiently tried multiple products on my face and I absolutely loved everything she recommended. I really enjoyed sitting in the chair and chatting with Sierra. I was so excited to leave with seven new products and then was also impressed by the service at the register with Piper. She was funny and also very nice. I'm now home and still feeling so happy with my experience and can't wait to use all my new stuff. Big thanks to Sierra and Piper for a great Ulta experience! read more

If I could give this business a 0 I would. I go into look at perfumes while my mom shops for makeup. I'm browsing. Then come across one I'm interested in. So I look around for my mom to call her to come smell it. I notice a security guard staring at me. Then I make eye contact smile then continue on. There are about 3 other people browsing the perfume, all of different races other than my race. Then I notice security guard walk right over to where I am and stand very close to me while watching me the entire time. I finally call my mom over to stand by me. Concerned that I'm being profiled. Once my mom comes over, he eases up. But still keeping his eye on me. This is the second time experiencing a racial incident with Ulta. You need to do better Ulta. Black women should be able to shop in peace. read more

Terrible customer service. I came in during a down time there was only one other customer in the store and they were walking around by themselves. I needed to color match a foundation since I don't wear foundation too often. It's not like I was going to waste their time I would also purchase the foundation. Anyway I was passed around like a football from employee to employee each one saying the next was their color match expert. So I ended up with their in house skin "specialist" and older lady who had absolutely no interest in finding me a foundation and instead pushing her lotions to me. She kept calling my Melasma Malaysia ....yes this is their skin care expert calling melasma Malaysia repeatedly. Any way I let her know after her ramblings that I was only here for foundation and she passed me on the again and ended up with the first girl who I asked for help. Anyway I only realized the foundation she hurriedly matched me with is at least 2 shades darker than my skin tone. Thanks. Whoever owns this chains needs to reevaluate your employees especially your skin care " specialist" will not be back. read more

DO NOT GET A HAIRCUT HERE! I tried to save money by going to Ulta and thought I would enjoy getting my hair done. I was wrong. First off, I had to wait 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment because the stylist was still working with another client (which is really unprofessional). When she finally sat me down I told her I wanted an A-line haircut and she seemed pretty confident in cutting it. Then she took me to get my hair washed but the water was freezing cold. After an hour, another client came and the stylist began to rush by cutting more pieces of my hair because she was 30 minutes for that client's appointment as well. The finished product, overall, was really bad. My hair was very uneven and choppy. The customer service wasn't great either. I got my refund back, but it was only because they weren't willing to fix it and give me my money back. Now, I have to go get it fixed at another salon. It really is better to spend more for a good haircut. I will never use Ulta's beauty services again. read more

Bad experience here. The lady at the front had major attitude and would not help me. I went to Sephora down the street to buy the product I was looking for. I had a much better experience at Sephora. They were so helpful and nice. Will not be coming back to Ulta Beauty read more

I bought a product, but there were 2 different prices for the same item. So, I told the sales associate and showed her the pictures I took of the 2 labels. She called this other lady (she has a nose ring) over to try and solve the problem. That lady started assuming I'm lying and saying that there's only one price. So, I' went to show her, and she showed me the original price, she then had the nerve to ask me "can you see that? Right there, can you see the price?" Excuse me?! YES, I can see that! RUDE. I then proceeded to show her the "other" price. And told her, this price is lower for the same exact product. She asked me, "are you sure it's the same thing? Let me look." Again, assuming I can't see or now even read a label. That lady was just out right rude, and really should not be speaking to customers that way. Didn't apologize for the mix up but instead tried laughing it off. Not professional at all. read more

This place reminded me why I prefer to shop online and exclusively now Sephora. I tried to return an item I bought the day before still sealed and they have me a hard time....not even high price item. The workers always seem annoyed when checking you out. read more
