Got my hair cut and also an extensions consultation with Megan G. and she is awesome. Very professional and friendly. My hair is very fine and she did a great job with it and was very fast as well. I would definitely recommend her for any of your hair care needs. She's very knowledgeable. :) read more

Rudest management staff..second time this has happened. After you point out they could be more customer service friendly they still go ahead with the same rude and flat responses. I will not do business with this particular Ulta again. Given the past reviews....regional management might want to speak to the staff on how to best treat customers to get repeat business. read more

Came in for the first time to this location to pick up a bday goodie. Place was clean, staff was kind. Smaller store but would be able to find just about anything. Also this location is not as busy. read more

I tried to return something that I realized I wasn't going to use, fully wrapped, unopened, and in its original packaging. I got a weird look from the girl at the register and she said she was going to grab her manager and asked if I had the sample bag that came free with the online purchase. The manager then told me that I couldn't do any returns unless I brought back the samples that had come my order. I said this was weird and I've never been asked to return free samples before, is that a new company policy for every Ulta store? She looked at me dead set and said yes. Well I went to my next closest Ulta and they accepted my return happily. So it's fine if that's just for your location and your managers choice, but there's no need to not be truthful. I left that location being treated like I had done something wrong. read more

Bethany deserves a raise!! i was desperately looking for a particular product & had gone to four stores when i called Ulta. she literally used her own personal apps on her phone to help me locate where i could purchase the product i needed for my company's Secret Santa party tonight. she was so warm & professional but MOST importantly she was HELPFUL. bless your heart Bethany; you are so appreciated! read more

I am so surprised seeing all the bad reviews for this Ulta location. I ALWAYS, always, get very good service here. It's my favorite location. Everyone is nice, from the store managers to the associates working at the registers. I buy most of my items online but if I don't like them when I receive them, I have always been able to either return and exchange them with my receipts. They are always so nice about it. The store is always clean and organized. Never a bad experience here. I was helped by Carolina today and she was sweet, courteous, and efficient. Thanks Carolina! read more

I'm giving this store a solid 5 because Sarah, the hairdresser in back was so helpful. I came in with an iron I purchased to straighten hair and ask if she could show me how to curl it. She was so kind and patient and made it super simple. Also, their keratin treatment pricing is great. Going to give it a shot next time. The GM was also super knowledgeable and helpful with makeup/skincare to get me what I needed. Thank you! read more

I love that Ulta offers the Salon for hair! I've been to other Ulta locations before the Salon, but I have never been as impressed as I have with Meghan. She knows how to perfect my hair color, cut, and even style! She takes her time to reach the perfect shade/tone and is very in-tune with her clients! I originally came with a bunch of ideas of what I wanted to do, and she talked me through each of them and skillfully explained the best option for what I was hoping for. She perfected my hair for the Christmas holiday season and most recently for my upcoming birthday. It is true what they say, if you look good, you feel good. She has my hair looking great!! read more

I agree with some of the employees being rude for no reason. I mean it's your job so why do you sound bothered because I am asking for assistance? I don't remember her name or I would have definitely mentioned it but when I first approached her she was all serious but then had a change in attitude and was nicer after. Ulta you may need to retrain some on how to approach and assist customers with a better attitude. It sounds like not much has been done since prior reviews mentioned the same. I mean after all what would be a business with no customers? read more

I stopped by Ulta to look for a cologne and honestly had no idea where to start or where anything was located. Almost immediately, Bethani noticed and was the first associate to offer her help. She was extremely knowledgeable, listened to exactly what I was looking for, and walked me straight to the right section without hesitation. She helped me find the cologne quickly, explained my options clearly, and made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I was in and out of the store in under five minutes, which I really appreciated. Bethani was very professional, friendly, and efficient. I highly recommend shopping here, and if you do, definitely ask for Bethani -- her customer service truly stands out. read more

This was my first time at this Ulta location and unfortunately, my last. I was browsing around for some Christmas presents and noticed that they put up an endcap from the brand that I work for. It looked amazing in-store so I wanted to take a picture to show my co-workers. An employee comes up behind me and very loudly scolds me that photos are not allowed inside the store and demanded me to delete the photo I took. I deleted the photo and wanted to apologize + explain why I was taking it, but they walked away very quickly right after. I completely understand and respect store policy, but their approach and tone made me feel very unwelcome and embarrassed to keep shopping there. read more

Completely Unacceptable - Involving Corporate and Considering Legal Action 04/23/25 6:20pm: I visited this Ulta to pick up a prepaid curbside order. Upon arrival, curbside was unavailable, so I went inside. I presented both my order confirmation and valid ID. Despite this, the employee at the pickup counter (name starts with "K," no name tag) refused to release my order, claiming I had an "attitude." She then hid my order under the desk and refused to provide it. When I calmly stated I wasn't leaving without the item I paid for, she instructed her colleague (also no name tag) to call 911 on me. I did nothing aggressive or unlawful. I waited in my vehicle as law enforcement arrived--an extreme, unwarranted escalation. I immediately contacted corporate. David from Ulta's corporate office reviewed camera footage and confirmed that I provided all required documentation. He told the store to release the order, but they refused and claimed they canceled it. Their behavior was retaliatory, unprofessional, and potentially discriminatory. I've submitted photos of both employees so others can recognize them. Ulta corporate is now investigating, and I'm considering formal legal action. I urge management to take immediate disciplinary action and reevaluate the type of individuals representing their brand. For context: I am a licensed healthcare professional and business owner. I have never encountered anything this hostile or inappropriate. Their behavior was unprofessional, retaliatory, and felt discriminatory. read more

Every time I come in here I never get greeted or approached or asked if I need help. All these workers look up and down on me and keep walking. I truly believe they are prejudiced against certain races. I will never come back to this location EVER again. I already struggle with social anxiety and this place does not help. Work on your customer services skills please! read more

I just left my local Ulta beauty feeling super uneasy about the service they provided an elderly woman. The cashier signed her up for a credit card when this woman clearly did not wanted to get one. I'm sure there is some sort of compensation based on credit cards booked but this was a total display of dishonesty. The cashiers failed to explain to the customer what she was signing up for, failed to let her know her credit was being ran and once the woman was not approved the cashiers entire attitude change. Dismissing the customer and sending her off. I don't understand how someone can feel comfortable miss informing an elderly person who clearly stated she could see and didn't understand what she was doing. read more

DONT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO A ACCUSED TO STEALING!!! 5/3/2025 (my birthday...) I went in with my sister her boyfriend and my boyfriend (we are all hispanic ethnicity) around 6pm we were followed and asked many times for bags with crazy looks we felt uneasy after the 5th time and then finally told security "saw us put something in our pocket" the cops were called and search my boyfriend we never stole anything but being accused is crazy because we were all having a good time after my birthday dinner we were mainly in there for my ulta birthday gift. Be careful out there and all 4 of us were trespassed and can never go back in there. THE COPS SAW THE SECURITY CAMERAS AND SAW NOTHING. CRAZY THAT THE COPS WERE CALLED ON YOUNG HISPANIC TEENS. rude customer service read more

Ayyyyyyy came back to get even more stuff with my legendary lady and got helped out by almost everyone in there!

Carly is the best brow girl I've had in ages! I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for years and felt like the quality at those salons had really declined. But Carly completely changed the game--she maps your brows, shows you exactly what she's going to remove, and makes the waxing process quick and virtually painless. She really takes her time to trim and perfect everything before you leave. Carly is my only trusted girl for brows! read more

I've been booking with Meagan at Ulta for the past two visits and I absolutely love her work. She's helped me go lighter while keeping my hair healthy, which has always been a concern for me. My hair is honestly the healthiest it's ever been, and it looks amazing. She really listens and takes the time to make sure your hair stays strong and beautiful. On top of that, Meagan is incredibly kind and makes you feel comfortable and cared for the entire appointment. I highly recommend her! read more

This shop is okay. I don't come in often and when I want new makeup a lot of times the lipsticks I want are all tested/used (not tester ones) which is really gross. So I end up ordering them online instead. read more

Really weird experience here. I first want to say lily who works here truly goes above and beyond for her customer and if my experience was off her alone I'd give 5 stars. Unfortunately, I had odd experience with I think LP thinking I was stealing or something lol because I was sitting on the couch holding my product I'm 9 months with a disability and pregnant and can't stand for long so I was sitting for a second while my 2 and 3 years old are walking around with my husband the lady was looking and like breaking her neck to see what I had and it felt so uncomfortable. Then the manager or lead there came to do an exchange for me that i just did a in store pick up for she looked totally annoyed..... I took the opportunity to celebrate lily and compliment her and she just looked miserable and had no ounce of customer service or kindness not sure how she became a manager. Felt so weird and was starting to shop more at Ulta.. I even just started doing my hair here.... I guess I'll stick to online shopping with Ulta, find a salon and just go to Sephora down the street where they treat you better. read more

Went to ulta to figure out a new makeup routine all the ladies there were wonderful and super super helpful BUT SHOUT OUT TO CAROLINA girl got me with the best freebie lip liner legit did me so good all the ladies here are beautiful and so sweet did not feel awkward or judged at all Very happy with my experience there read more

Chloe, the general manager, and Lilly at the register were amazing. I forgot to bring my discount card that was mailed to me and asked if there was any chance I could still receive a discount. Chloe overheard and kindly honored the 20% off anyway. Such great customer service! read more

Had the most pleasant hair appointment a few days ago with Leyla!! Very sweet, knowledgable and kind stylist who did an AMAZING job highlighting and cutting my very thick, unruly hair. I just moved to Orange County and have tried a few different stylists since I've been here and this is by far, the best my hair has ever looked. So glad to have found my new hair stylist in O.C!! read more

​I hope everyone reads this before shopping here. I had a terrible experience with this store. For my birthday two months ago, a friend bought me a Clinique set. Due to some circumstances, I had to be out of the country for two months right after my birthday. Since I have sensitive skin and can only use specific products, I decided to return the "Clinique Ultra" set (which was unopened) with the gift receipt to get store credit. ​When I arrived, the salesperson asked if I had used it. I told them it was completely unopened. They checked it, confirmed it was sealed, and called the manager. Even though the manager acknowledged the item was brand new and unopened, they told me that because it had been more than 60 days and the item was currently on sale, they would only give me store credit for the discounted sale price! ​It is unbelievable that they expect you to accept a refund for less than what was actually paid for the product. This felt like a total scam. Please, do yourselves a favor and buy your cosmetics elsewhere! read more

The thing I have noticed about all Ulta stores, I think they employees must work there for a discount. The customer service is lacking in every single store, and the employees any time I have ever been, to any location, are chatting amongst themselves. I have walked the entire store multiple times looking for someone to ask a question to. If I do find someone, its a quick answer and they wander away back to their conversations. The gal that helped me here, was on the phone my entire transaction. Luckily I only needed a few basic items, and I was able to navigate my way around and find them, myself. The store was clean. read more

So me, my girlfriend, her sister, and her sister's boyfriend went to Ulta just to get the free birthday gift they offer. As soon as we walked in, one of the employees started following us around the store. She kept asking if we needed bags--like five or six times--even though we clearly didn't. Toward the end, she accused one of us of possibly slipping something into a pocket. As we left, she actually took a picture of us walking out, and right after that, a police car pulled up and stopped us. They asked what we were doing and ended up only searching me. Another cop came and checked my girlfriend and her sister's bags. One of the officers went inside to review the footage, and after a while, they said there wasn't enough evidence to accuse us of anything. Still, they told us we're banned from that Ulta and if we come back, we'll be charged with trespassing. The cops were decent about it, but the way the employees acted felt like straight-up profiling. read more

5 Stars - Love This Store! I absolutely love coming to this Ulta location! The staff is always so welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. They never make me feel rushed, and they always go above and beyond to help me find exactly what I need--or things I didn't even know I needed! Yes, I always end up spending more than I planned--but honestly, it's so worth it. Between the amazing selection of products, great deals, and top-notch customer service, I never leave disappointed. Whether I'm stocking up on skincare, trying something new, or just browsing, this Ulta makes the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Shoutout to the team here--you're all amazing! read more

I got the most amazing customer service here. I went in looking for new foundation and hair care. The staff was so patient. They answered all my questions, were offering suggestions, and I left with exactly what I wanted (and more) Thank you Ulta team!! read more

Never come to this store if u wanna be followed around or accused of stealing, i was with my boyfriend,my sister, and my sisters boyfriend, I went for my sisters birthday because she wanted to get her birthday gift from there an while we where shopping this lady with a slick back bun was following me an my boyfriend, she then asked us if we wanted a bag but looked at us so dirty even while she made faces we still kindly said no thanks but she kept pushing it after the 3rd time she was said "are u sure?" And I instantly knew she thought we where stealing! I kept walking around because I was tryna find a lip liner I've been looking for and yes they finally had it, I had to use the restroom after I found some things I was looking for so I asked my boyfriend to stay OUT THE BATHROOM in an area they can see him I then gave him my items because your not allowed to bring them in the bathroom so I followed those instructions, after that my sisters boyfriend said that a employee went into the bathroom after me an walked right out, it made me feel uncomfortable after that and the whole time I was walking around I felt nervous. After I had all my items I was going to go PAY but when I was walking to the cashier line I walked past my sister and over heard a rude employee ask them if they want a bag because security saw them "put something in there pockets" she then asked if they where sure they didn't steal anything! I was stund with the employees attitude that's not a good way to treat customers, I walked away and went straight to the cashier line and was waiting but then my sister told us we should js leave since they think we where stealing so I left the items an when we walked out they where taking photos of us which might be protocol but still we didn't do anything. Then a police car pulled up on us and searched my sisters boyfriend (JUST HIM) he had nothing on him so the officer went inside to see security footage an once he came back he said there was "not alot of evidence to arrest us" What u mean not alot of evidence we literally didn't steal anything! A female officer that was with the guy officer asked to check me n my sisters bag, we did so and opened up are bags but there was nothing! It made me an my sister feel embarrassed because there was people walking around a looking at us..the officer then said we could go but told us that we where trespassed and couldn't come back! This was so unnecessary they seemed like they where racial profiling us because every other person was white, we where the only Hispanic people there, there where like a couple girls screaming and messing with the product but no one ever said anything to them but to us they called the cops and accused of us of stealing! Not acceptable the staff needs to be trained again and the manager too they are all disgusting! Btw there displays are dirty and they never have what u need in stock, there lip liners are scattered around everywhere, testers are gone. read more

Ulta Beauty - This was from someone else's review but this was the exact same lady that was asking if my sister an her boyfriend stole! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

What happened ??? The lady cashing me out helped grab something off the shelf for me and I thought it was a nice gesture.. But she decided to be extra rude after almost making me get in the back of the line again? Mind u I had my card in my hand. Very awkward encounter cause she still rang me up just very angry and aggressively .. sorry you were having a bad day Madison. This turned into a very good comment into a very bad one realyy quick read more

Thought I'd pop on here to see if I lm the only one these past few days to come across a rude Ulta staff member. Nope. I'm not sure what's going on with this store but it appears it may have been taken over by a crew of mean girls. I ran in on my lunch break to pick up some foundation and as it's a. $50 item why not ask the girl (Katie) whose literal job it is to ring people up if Ulta has any coupons out right now I can search my email for quickly. With a super snotty too good for coupons tone said she had no idea. You mean to tell me you have no idea if you rang any coupons up lately? Plus it's not like Ulta has a ton. They will have one or two promotions going on and it's literally part of their training and often listed behind the registers what they are. So I was like, "so you stand here ringing people up all day and have no idea? Ok." In her best mean girl nasty tone she says "Rude." I was over it. Told her I was going to Sephora. Where I ended up getting 10% off my foundation and they had another 50% off sale going so I picked up a couple other items. Yay Sephora. Boo Ulta. Break up the mean girl brat pack and show these nasties the door Ulta or keep losing good customers. read more

I will be taking my business to Sephora from now on! Terrible customer service. The staff followed me around the aisles the entire time I was browsing, repeatedly asking if I was "still" doing okay (must have been 5 or 6 times within 15 minutes, with the comments turning from mildly friendly to downright rude). I am a professional and was planning to buy premium product and refer family, but instead left without purchasing since I felt so uncomfortable. I thought I'd give the store one more chance when my family came to town a few months later, but when the shopkeepers began mistreating my guests I'd had enough! I have never been treated like this in other stores, and was honestly floored! read more

The store is great, the hair salon not so great. I know it depends which stylist you get for a good haircut, but my hair was ruined at ulta hair salon in Laguna Niguel location. I said to my shoulders and it was cut to my neclkline. Not only that there were weird chopped up layers at the bottom back that had nothing to do with the photo i showed for the cut. She kept saying i looked young for my age of 50 amd them cut my hair badly and way too short. Iost my beautiful hair. I certainly wouldn't ask for it to be fixed because then it might even become shorter. I honestly felt like she did this so that my hair would look more like what ahe thinks a 50 yr old supposed to look like. It was so wrong. It will take 6 months or so for it to grow back to be able to go to someone that knows how to cut hair to fix it. Sad. read more

Love this place! Everyone is so helpful and if I ever don't like anything, I take it back no questions asked!

I don't understand why the reviews have been so negative...The team at this Ulta specifically is always so kind and beyond attentive. The managers and GM are especially personable and helpful. You can tell they truly care about their customers! Thank you Chloe for being my go-to beauty guru when I need help finding something new to try and for making every visit such a great experience! read more

I do love my Ulta Beauty stores and I have gift cards to spend, I love the Tula line! The reps who come in here to work are great!
