I was here last Saturday to purchase some essential items and makeup restock. When I came in no one greeted me and felt a bit empty. I was so frustrated trying to find the rem beauty section only to find it in a small corner. I wanted to look for a specific item from rem beauty, and I tried asking for help but two associates ignored me, and they decided to have a conversation, which is okay but when it comes to wanting help from an associate, there was no one to help me look for what I specifically needed for the future concert event. I work in retail and sales, I always ask customers if they have any questions to let me know or if they are ready to check out to let me know as well. I felt very uncomfortable and decided to just get what I really needed, then left. I will never go back to this location again. The one in Burbank is so much better or the one in Orange County. I feel so bad writing this post but felt it was not okay for how I was treated by the associates. read more

Had my brows done here by the brow arch expert Veronica. Holy moly my eyebrows were left definitely like fraternal twins. It was terrible. I still tipped with I should not have but I felt bad for her. She also is a parakeet- she would not shut up and talked to everyone and would walk off come back whilst doing the brows --it was bad! No wonder one eye brow is so off and leaving this review. read more

I ordered a cologne for pickup and opted for the bigger bottle to qualify for the 17 piece sampler "free gift". When I got to the store for pickup, the gift was not in the bag. I explained to the clerk (that claimed to be the manager) that the item was missing. She told me I must not have selected it. So in front of her, I showed her the process to place the order and of course it auto selected to add the gift for the qualifying purchase. She showed me the sampler set but refused to give it to me without returning my item to repurchase it. I explained that wouldn't work for me because the return of funds to my bank wouldn't be instant and I'd be stuck waiting with the double purchase. She didn't care and still refused to give it to me. When I asked f9r the manager, she claimed she was the manager but wouldn't give me her name. Free item or not, thats just plain poor customer service. read more

I usually go here because there aren't many other makeup stores in this area. This one is decent, and parking is fine. When you go inside, they have every brand it's well organised. But some of the testers are messy, and some stuff is already opened. Usually they have good stock but are out sometimes. The staff is nice and checks up on you often. I just wish they had more in stock, and the aisles aren't so close together. read more

Got my most recent hair curler here- love it! I'm always looking for a thin one to make tighter curls and they had one! Use it all the time. Love it. Thanks! read more

This review is for the hair stylist Patty Valencia. She was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time getting my hair colored, she went over options and ideas with me as I was up in the air on how light I wanted to go, and guided me through every step. She was attentive and patient throughout the whole process. She took great care of my hair and I will be definitely going back just for her! I would recommend everyone and anyone to get their hair done and styled with her! read more

The manager was such a sweetheart but Mariyah's attitude at checkout ruined it for me. Returned most of my stuff. It didn't feel right how she acted. It felt disrespectful. Chewing gum, tapping her nails. Hands on hips. Sucks to experience that behavior. read more

I got my makeup done by Kelly yesterday and she was fabulous. I looked fantastic and she was a joy to talk to. I will absolutely book her for any future special occasions. read more

The girls are not friendly & don't go in there with your husband the girls don't hold back I shopped here for my birthday gift but never again at this location left feeling like crap read more

I seldom shop at Ulta, and that wont change after my experience. I received 2 Jimmy Choo perfume gifts for $172 each for Christmas and my Birthday on 12/26 and wanted to EXCHANGE ONLY one for a different perfume (more expensive) but was denied because I did not have the ORIGINAL receipt and my son-n-law didnt create an account with Ulta using his phone number so purchase couldn't be found smh I have never heard of such nonsense in my 52 yrs, esp during the holidays. But I was told "NO, there is nothing we can do" by manager Jocelyn. The good news is after bugging my daughter over the phone, and holding the line up I was able to provide the receipt which was located via email since this was an online order. Also, the cashier Amber was pleasant and patient with me because of course I was very upset and wasnt on my best behavior. Never the less, I paid the extra $26 and was able to get the other perfume of choice but the experience was exhausting and embarrassing. So, Ulta doesn't have to worry about me coming back! Im sure they dont give a dam but ijs! GOOD JOB Ulta!!! read more

My wife bought something online from this company but later found better deals elsewhere, so she asked me to return the product to the store. The return was made within the 30-day period. The cashier asked if I had the credit card that was used to buy the product online, but I didn't have it with me. She then said the only way to process the refund was via a store card. I wasn't aware that a store card can only be used in-store, as it wasn't explained to me. After accepting the store card refund, my wife was infuriated because she wanted to use the card to buy something on Cyber Monday. A few days later, we returned to the store to request a proper gift card that could be used anywhere, but we were refused, citing company policy, and were asked to contact customer service. Customer service was unhelpful and directed us back to the store, with both sides avoiding responsibility for providing a usable refund. We frequently make online purchases and have never encountered such issues with refunds from other stores like Target, Hollister, Abercrombie, and J.Crew. Their customer service and refund policies are much better, and none of them required such an odd arrangement. This company's customer service and refund policy are very poor. Stay away from this company. read more

I usually never write reviews , but im so dissapointed about the service at this store , the women that work here think they are all that or they hate their job or to interact with other women , they are rude and lack customer service , i bought a few things and while i was shopping i kept grabbing things to buy my hands were full i kept telling my daughter to grab them so i can try and check other things out , idk where the baskets are no one was there to help , or ask or provide a basket and ok not big deal but then i came to the fragance section , i wanted to purchase a perfume, they have them under lock again no one to help i had to look around to find someone once i did, i seen two girls working on the same task , i ask for help to one of them, she seems bothered , anyways she came to help told her what i wanted she didnt verified or show me if it was the right thing, just took it up to the front, once i paid they didnt show me either so i just went ahead and paid , when i came home opened my bag and realized they gave me the wrong item since they a bit similar , one is amist but i wanted the perfume and i remember i told the lady who grabbed it for me, anyways i had to drive back and exchange it the next day , told the cashier i was given the wrong item she just look around and yelled at somone else to get the right one she didnt say anything to me , she didnt even looked at me , so we just waited, once they brought it, she just told me is 55 dollars so she didnt even said im sorry for the inconvinience there is a price difference would u like to pay which is the least i expected , no she was just ready w the computer for me to paid so i just paid and left .. honestly for the prices and money im spending i expect better sevice , after i left i went to the icecream shop close by and honestly received such a great and nice friendly service it made me think what is ulta doing wrong????

I went to go use an ulta beauty gift card. The pin number was damaged when the peel was removed and I was told to call a number to have that resolved, no one got back to me the first time and the second time they said theres nothing they could do. sadly a huge waste of time and money which is very upsetting as I am not wealthy at all and was excited to finally get something nice for myself. read more

I normally like this location because sometimes the staff can be helpful, its a hit or miss but most of the time they rather have conversations with other staff than help out customers. Most of the products i look for are never stocked either. I came in last week or so, and the cashier had the worst attitude. Her name was something like Angeline, and she gave me the coldest responses. I don't know if she was in a bad mood, but are these people even trained on customer service? then she proceeded to talk badly about another customer in front of us, horrible. read more

I come here to get my brows done by Lindsey at the Benefit brow bar and have never been happier with my brows!! I live down the street from the Monrovia location and still make the 15 min drive over here just for her services. Would highly recommend!!! read more

Tried to give the benefit of the doubt with the salon. I had thought I had found a stylist I felt comfortable with, booked an appointment I was really excited for as I'm insecure with how crazy my hair has gotten. I arrive 10 mins before my appointment, check in only to wait 30 minutes. None of the stylists/employees check in on me, finally I had to ask the receptionist what was going on and they called my stylist (Patty) over on the intercom, waved me off to go back to sitting. Finally Patty arrives, telling me she was on break. Why would you go on break when you know you had an appointment at that time? Finally sat down and they asked what we were doing. I asked if the gloss came with a cut which she said no and I wanted to add it, then she says she HAS NO TIME?!!?!? But the gloss will take 20 minutes (no way a gloss would have taken 20 minutes on my hair, I have very thick and long hair. I have done glosses with her in the past and it took hours) and she can have someone else cut my hair. Yeah I booked this appointment with HER, I was not comfortable having someone tag-team my hair in a rush, no way. At that point I had enough of the bad, awkward experience and left Ulta crying, disappointed by the treatment. No one offered to make the situation right. Super disheartening. There's no way fixing this, I've already reached out to another salon and booked my appointment. This was the last straw Ulta, you've lost yourself a customer. read more

Brow bar review only!!! I decided to give it a shot and try the brow bar at Ulta. Its a cute little cart area that there is a professional brow babe there to help you with your brow needs. Lindsay! She is wonderful, she talks to you on what is it your looking for and doing there. She then maps out your brows and shows you exactly what she is waxing and cleans you up all nicely. She is also able to shade your brows in so you can see how clean and nice she did your brows. She did an amazing job and was able to help me figure out what to do about a part of my eyebrow that wasn't growing much hair. You must book your appointment online. Lindsay is great and trust me you will be happy. read more

Just had an awkward interaction with the staff. I came in to return an item via happy returns. The lady asked how she could help, I told her I had a return and was going to shop after. She insisted 3x that I shop first then do the return. When rephrased what my plan was each time, she finally stopped insisting. Go to find out they don't do the happy returns. I just left, I didn't want to be there. read more

I've always purposely come to this location because it was better service, until recently. I walked in they had moved the pick up counter to the other side of the registers which made it confusing if I had to get into the line or not as no one was at the pick up reg. Melanie I think was her name was at the register the normal one, she never acknowledges that I'm there waiting or calls for someone. I ended up getting in line then when I get the reg she tells me I have to go back to the pick up counter when she's an associate and could have assisted me. She finally calls over someone named Blanca who seemed irritated to actually do her job. Doesn't seem welcoming at all either of them and neither seemed to want to assist. Worst experience I most likely won't be coming back. You can thank those two for the lost business. read more

I was in the neighbor earlier today so I stopped by here to pick up a face oil my daughter needed. As I was walking towards the front door I noticed 2 employees but as I opened the door, they both moved away from the door. I had to ask one of them for help. The Latina employee with the black face mask assisted me. She wasn't friendly. As we got to the aisle where the item was she handed me the item box. I asked her if she could recommend a blemish cream for me. She replied, Oh I can't help you with that! I will get someone to help you. I was embarrassed by her response and attitude. There were other customers in that area we were in. I then asked if she could show me where to find the blemish aisle. She pointed and said that aisle. Wow! Very unprofessional. I will not be back at this store again. read more

I had a question at the register and an item to purchase... the woman at the counter was dis-shoveled and un prepared to answer my easy question, she then asked her coworker for assistance, neither could assist ! the two ladies then continued to discuss other Ulta business as I waited to check out at the counter... I sighed, looked at both of them and they just continued to talk like I wasn't there. Needless to say I left immediately HORRIBLE customer service. read more

Having my hair cut and highlighted by Rachel was AMAZING !!!!!! My hair looks so great that everyone I have seen for the last few days has been blown away, and my girls have all asked for her contact ! She is extremely intelligent about everything to do with color (she had to color correct on my natural blonde, not an easy task). The cut feels light, flowy and heavenly! Fun conversations and the nicest Ulta store I have been in, in a LONG time. Biggest New Fan ! read more

This review is for Kaylee at the salon. I've been going to her to dye my hair every 2 months and it always turns out fabulous! I go to color my roots and I get a gloss (which she recommended).

This Ulta is the worst location I have ever been to. I never write reviews on stores like this but the service was terrible, no one ever asked me if I need help even when they passed by. When I went to go check out I waited in line for 10 minutes, even thought there was 2 employees by the register talking, seeing that I was waiting and pointing around the store making eye contact with me. Once I got to the desk I told the employee about the discounts I wanted to use and she waited until she finished scanning all the things to respond. And then told me that my BOGO didn't qualify and that I couldn't use my $10 off $50 coupon. Worst service ever. And then there was blocking things everywhere. In the back of Ulta where the tree hut is there was like 10 carts blocking with 2 employees just sitting there talking. I will never return to this location again. read more

After going to the Glendora location I never want to come back to this location again. The people and the workers are much kinder and helpful with no bad attitudes. One of the workers named Sasha was just extremely condescending during my whole return process. I get so much anxiety everytime I return and Ulta actually has a great return policy. There are things I never opened and are still sealed in their original packaging and with the original receipt and they still manage to make you feel like you're stealing. The lines are also ridiculously much longer too. read more

Renee was awesome! I had a pickup order and was standing at the table for a while. Some other Ulta employees walked past me even though they knew I was waiting. I heard Renee tell them to help me, but they didn't. She ended up helping me after she was done with another customer. She really brightened up my day! Got my goodies and a wonderful chat with the sweetest woman! read more

On August 17, 2022, I had my first appointment to go warm blonde with Susan G., Elite Stylist, every touch up after that has been such a royal treat with her! Susan is highly professional when it comes to color, cut, and treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of her role as an Elite Stylist. I always feel like I'm getting the royal treatment with her which is why I love going to her and I always leave looking like the best version of myself! And she's very caring. Thank you Suzy for always doing an amazing job! read more

Why was the cashier so rude? They had a display about a free gift with a $40 purchase for haircare. I bought $90 worth and asked about it. Cashier was so rude saying how they have nothing in store, it's stuck in shipment. Like don't be so snarky about it, sheesh. PLUS..... Don't hang these promos all over the section if y'all a bunch of liars. @ Cashier, why you so rude? You're lucky there are decent people who won't smack the f out of you for your attitude. TBH might go back tomorrow to return the products bc of that rude experience PS. I've seen the yelp comments from management. If your internal team has been addressing these issues, why are there still rude employee(s)? read more

This is for the salon department. I called for a last minute blow out before leaving town last week. Joy did my hair and she did an amazing job. She took her time with my very thick, curly hair and made sure I left the building looking fabulous. She did not rush what so ever and took the time to even add tinsel to my hair (knowing I had a fun event planned), and walk me around the store to show me some products that would keep me right for the weekend. My hair stayed looking great for about a week. I'm not sure if she was the manager, but I'm just so happy we crossed paths. I will be deff visiting my girl again! read more

I was at this location yesterday and Torry (Torri) and Elizabeth the hair stylist, were extremely helpful and provided great customer service.

Came in today for a full/balayage and hair treatment and came out more than SATISFIED! Like, "Wow!" First time, getting my hair colored and done by Patty Valencia and she did an INCREDIBLE job! Like the work speaks for itself. Furthermore, she made my experience so much more enjoyable, very sweet and professional. The time and effort she pays attention to details and she continues to strive for your hair goals with the best interest of keeping my hair healthy. You can tell how compassionate and talented she is by her work. I will most definitely come back to Ulta Beauty. Did I mention, the environment and staffs were also amazing. I came out of the store with everyone complimenting on how stunning my hair is. Thank you, Patty & Ulta Beauty for your service.

****DON IS NOT HERE ANYMORE, HE'S AT VAIN STUDIO**** This is Don's other location he works at. If I can't book an appointment at his other salon, I come here. It benefits me because I get to use my Ulta card to get extra points ^_^ Hehe If you don't have an ULTA card (I don't know why you wouldn't), get one! You get special bonuses and discounts. If you haven't read my review about Don, I'll just repeat it here. Don is my go to hair stylist for over a year now and I wouldn't change him for anyone else. He will be able to make the hairstyle you want come to life. Just give him an idea, and he would go the distance to get it to your liking. Plus he knows how to work with Asian hair (wooot!). Trust me, you want regret him. read more

I contacted customer support because I received products in an order that were sent to me in error. They told me I could drop them off at an Ulta store. I tried to do that at this location and they refused to take the product. The woman at the order pick up counter on Sunday 3/23 at 12:30pm was very rude. I guess there's no reason to try to do the right thing? They would rather waste the product. read more

Solid experience at this ulta. Came here during the Barbie launch on the second day and more than half the products were already sold out sad. I was expecting a bigger pop ups since all the other stores seemed to go all out. Maybe I missed it on the day before prior. The GM helped me take photos as my eyes were closed in previous photos taken by an associate. Ample parking outside. Located in a big shopping area read more

I always dread coming here. But here I am still coming to get products that I need. There's normally, if not all the time, a long line at checkout. Today I came here to return some items. I came around 3:30ish pm right after work. I was 3rd in line, which was fine. The line formed at the right side of the registers. There were two people at the registers. The lady in front of me went to the sales associate at the register. She didn't need to purchase anything at the time. She just needed help with a few items to possibly purchase and was asking for possible recommendations. The girl at the register asked the other staff if someone could help the lady and the staff member said, " You can help her, there's only one person in line" ,which was me. So now that leaves one girl at the register. As she finishes checking out her customer she proceeded and said, " I can help the next person in line" A lady walked up to her and I said " I was next in line" The staff said the line formed at the left of the register. Apparently a new line formed at the left of the register that I wasn't aware of. How did a line form at the left side of the register when initially I waited in line that was formed at the right side of the register. I just felt a little dismissed and unseen. I would have just ordered online and done a pick up to avoid the lines but this time I had a return. I did not have a good experience today. read more

I love this Ulta location because the store is always stocked and the staff is always friendly. I can always find what I am looking for here and if they don't have something in stock, the staff can help you order it. They always add in free gifts with purchase and this location is super generous. I also love that there is ample parking in this plaza and it's conveniently located in a plaza but other shops I frequent. Best Ulta location if you ask me! read more
