From a Hairdresser's Worst Nightmare to Hair I Actually Love! I am probably every hairdresser's biggest challenge. Years of dark box dye, stubborn grays, daily washing, swimming in pools, lakes, and the ocean, plus falling asleep with wet hair more often than I'd like to admit. Other than a haircut every few months, my hair is abused! Now that I'm in my 40s, my gray roots seem to show up every week and a half, and I was tired of constantly covering them with sprays, wands, and root touch-up products that never looked quite right. Then I met Yesenia (@_hairbyyessi_) at ULTA, and she completely changed my outlook on my hair. (I didn't even know ULTA had a salon!) From the moment I sat in her chair, Yesenia was kind, knowledgeable, and completely judgment-free about my long list of questionable hair habits. She took the time to explain how highlights and toning could help blend and disguise my grays, creating a look that would be much lower maintenance than constantly coloring my roots. The results were amazing! My hair looks natural, dimensional, and so much healthier. Even my very picky daughter immediately noticed and complimented how beautiful it looked. If you're struggling with grays, tired of constant touch-ups, or feel overwhelmed by your hair situation, I highly recommend Yesenia. She is professional, talented, patient, and truly makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she gave me a realistic plan to maintain my color without feeling like I'm constantly battling my roots. Thank you, Yesenia, for giving me beautiful hair for your expertise. read more

I booked with Nicole, and she was nice, but I asked for highlights and an overall brighter look for summer, and the result was nothing close to the inspiration photo I showed. I understand it may not turn out exactly the same, but I was expecting something at least similar to the picture, and it looked completely different. I also spent from 11:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the salon, which makes the outcome even more disappointing. I came home and no one could even tell I had anything done to my hair. I paid $250 for this, and I'm really unhappy with the results. First photo - my original dark brown hair Second photo - inspiration picture for highlights Third photo - my results They don't care too fix my hair and won't refund either read more

Worst experience ever !! Alizey gave the worst experience ever she was having a bad day I get we all have it ! But that's no excuse, I took my daughters for an experience to get tinsel on their hair came out unhappy, she made not one conversation whole time she had a face expression of annoyed and mad because of cancellation that was her fault. Even my daughters were like was the lady mad ? Overall bad customer service !! As a hairstylist you want your customers to come back no matter how small the service is ! $30 for a bad experience. So much for customer service Look at the placement so uneven read more

Being a huge FAN of ULTA online , i only recently starting checking out the brick in mortars !! i've preferred the online shopping due to all the INCREDIBLE perks !!! sadly since ive had some unfortunate encounters ,broken products , boxes delivered where porch pirates can grab them & boxes torn open with missing products etc, Sadly ive found the in store experience to not be very pleasant due to unhelpful employees who appear incredibly untrained in basic customer service skills & a lack of basic friendliness & simple respect etc !! When i visited this location a few weeks ago i felt it was actually better then other locations so i decided to return to this location to disappointely be met by a most horrifying manager who lacked in any kind of decently & never bothered to give me a chance to explain why i was having to return a certain product , She approached the counter where i had begun to speak with another employee and immediately proceeded to traumatize me with endless remarks that were not accurate in reference to the merchandise i had an issue with , meanwhile i have spent several hundreds of dollars a week online which adds up to thousands of dollars over the last several months and considering the amount of items i purchase there's bound to be a certain amount of issues & this was the case with the return i was there to hopefully exchange but was not given that oppurtunity due to this managers assuming something that couldn't have been farther from the truth!! Clearly she was not a kind or friendly individual , let alone professional or civilized whatsoever !!! things continued to escalate to the point that she threatened the police & actually was on the phone to police in an attempt to scare & intimidate me . i knew i had done nothing wrong so i just stood there telling her to go ahead and call the police , I Truly do enjoy indulging in my purchases & all the great promotions online so thankfully this won't stop me from being a reg customer but i truly hope corporate will wake up & deal with this type of very negative horrifying service that is unacceptable & MUST BE addressed since ULTA is such a great company & it would be a much better experience if the employees @ the brick and mortars matched the service that is given online !!! It truly makes me wonder what type of screening process they implement to end up with such horrific ordeals , Hope they figure this out since this is not the first time i've felt that this is a situation which is shockingly inappropriate !! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ULTA start paying better attention to who you are allowing to represent your AMAZING COMPANY !!! read more

This place was really friendly to me during a recommendation request even signed me up for a free demo the following weekend. I get a little overwhelmed in make up stores this large but everything was clean and the workers were not too pushy. My demo was great! I have problems w my skin and they were sensitive to it and accommodating. read more

Very clean and well stocked store. Plenty of easy parking. They are super helpful and friendly here. The selection is endless, online pick up also a breeze. read more

THIS STORE RACIALLY PROFILES PEOPLE!!! I came here looking to do an exchange for an item I had been wanting. As I'm going to get the product the manager named Nikki was asking if I needed help. I said no because I knew where the product was, and I was talking to my cousin and boyfriend. While we were looking around she kept following us, and looking up. I got the product I was looking for and was asked again if I needed help. I said "no" again because I didn't need it. I then continued to go look for some other stuff I might want, and she was even closer. She kept looking up at us. I noticed she was following us so I felt really uncomfortable. She asked me for the third time if I needed help, and knew she thought something was up. So i asked her is she was following us, because she kept looking at us and only followed us when there were other people in the store who might have actually needed helped. She said "I'm doing my job."This is not the first time I've been racially profiled at this store. It's ridiculous Nikki is a manager, some people should be trained better. read more

This is the ideal ULTA in LA. The staff is always friendly, helpful, patient, understanding; they always tell you about a better deal you can get, and I have never ever had a problem returning anything here. The parking lot is big and relatively hassle free. The store is never crowded when I've gone there which always at different hours of the day. Generally respectful, quiet; help is there if you need it, but you never feel "sold" anything. It's everything you want in a retail experience. Been going here for several years now- 10/10 hits every other ULTA in town out of the park! Truly have never gotten a bad vibe from anyone at this location, ever! read more

Eileen, Matthew and Ruth were all so kind to me and assisted me in trying to find a makeup match for my skin tone. Eileen and Matthew were very determined and I am happy that they were helpful. It's a beautiful store location with lots of makeup products from high end to very reasonably price. And they also sell perfumes from Ariana Grande to Burberry. Wide selection. Great location to stop by with ample parking. read more

For some reason the staff here are so stuck-up and rude. I asked one of the workers on the floor who was writing something down on a clipboard, if she was busy and if she could help me check if a shade of lipstick was in stock. I was not expecting her to say, "Yeah, I'm a little busy. I'm gonna call someone else to help you". I go, "Um, okay". I'm meandering around for literally 7 minutes until the same worker comes up to me and says, "Okay, nobody else is available, I'll help you". You mean you'll do your job? Great! I've worked customer service, never have I ever told a customer I was "too busy" to help them out real quick. So weird. And definitely not the first weirdo interaction I've had at this location. These girls think they're too good for their retail jobs! Right. read more

Iris was very attentive and helped me color match even though they don't have testers for the brand I wanted. She answered all of my questions in a kind manner!! read more

I came to this Ulta the other day to get stuff for my live show - goodie bags. && I was helped out by the most amazing ladies. Usually I like shopping by myself because I'm basically a professional shopper But I really enjoyed the help I received in this Ulta. Especially from Partricia (I believe she works with ELF Cosmetics) she was sooooo kind! It's hard meeting people like this in LA. && You can tell she was kind not just because it's her job buy also that's just her personality, which I loved & most certainly appreciated!!

I moved to Sherman Oaks a little less than a year ago and I was super nervous too trust someone new to do my eyebrows. I made an appointment with Natalie after realizing Ulta was super close to where I'm living , and I promise you I have never been so impressed with my brows. I've been seeing her for months now and I couldn't be happier. She is so friendly and really outgoing and my brows have never looked better. 10/10 recommend read more

My wife and I visited Ulta with the intention of purchasing hair products and possibly finding a new stylist. Because she is very particular about who works on her hair, we asked an associate to recommend their top stylist, and we were directed to Nikki. Unfortunately, our interaction with her was extremely disappointing. When we approached her with a few questions, her demeanor felt dismissive and uninterested, as if she had no desire to assist us or welcome us as potential clients. This left a lasting negative impression and made our decision easy to never come here again read more

Having visited this Ulta location multiple times, I'm pleased to say they're typically well-stocked and the store employees are always available to help you find what you're looking for, or suggest something similar if you're looking to try something new. I recently stopped by to find an all-day liquid eyeliner, more similar to a drugstore version while still remaining durable. One of the associates showed me a few options to choose from, and I also picked up a travel size Lolavie Restorative Shampoo from the hair section which turned out to be a great find and is a product I've really enjoyed. It's always nice to find a spot that has all the beauty products you're searching for, and many more. read more

Went in extremely clueless on what to buy but Lily the manager and her team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were super busy and were somehow managing to get to everyone. Will be shopping here more often. read more

After two consecutive days of disappointing experiences at ULTA, I'm incredibly frustrated. At one location, I checked the in-stock availability for my foundation, only to find out it wasn't actually available when I arrived. Hoping for a better outcome, I placed a pickup order at the Sherman Oaks location, but that experience was even worse. I tried calling the store to get an update on my order, but no one answered. Frustrated, I drove to the store, only to find it had just closed. The employees ignored me at first, shook their heads dismissively, and when one employee finally came to the door, she immediately said my order wasn't ready--without even asking for my name or order details. When I asked why she was speaking to me through the closed door, she explained it was because she had money inside. To make matters worse, I could barely hear her explanation. Had I known the order wouldn't be ready within the promised two-hour window, I would have picked it up the next day. Being forced to wait an entire day defeated the purpose of placing a pickup order intended for quick fulfillment. Having been a loyal ULTA customer for many years, this experience has been the final straw. Next time, I'll be going to Sephora for my makeup needs. read more

Avoid this location, I and was there early so it wasn't crowded, asked 2 associates for help finding a product and both of them couldn't be bothered to walk me over to the item, they just point you in the general direction and watch you go in circles..... lame. Meanwhile they have you wait in line while one cashier rings, and atleast 5 employees just hang out. read more

I love this Ulta. They have all of my favorite beauty brands and I prefer this beauty store over Sephora. Lately I have been making my way over here just a little too often! Ha!!! Today I stopped by after yoga to get myself some "glamorous" nails! Lol. (My latest beauty addiction) The beauty consultant who helped me checkout was super friendly and a beauty!!! Located next to Starbucks, Burger Lounge, Gelson's and a few more other yummy stores! *Plenty of parking and EVgo for charging your EV! Woo hoo! read more

Are you kidding me.....this is at 10:15am. This is incredibly concerning. This is the restroom employees and clients use. The store opened 15 minutes ago, unless there was a rush to the bathroom by all in the store, this is UNACCEPTABLE! Do better ULTA!!! read more

I was in the Sherman Oaks store today and had a great experience with Emily, who works there. She was extremely helpful with make-up and found the exact right products and colors for my complexion. She made the whole shopping experience elevated and fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the products and how to customize them for individual needs. Thank you Emily!! read more

Terrible management. The manager was screaming at her employees because they didn't lock the doors exactly at 8 PM. I walked in right when it turned 8 and politely asked if I could just grab hair ties that's literally all I needed. Instead of handling it professionally, the manager gave me the ugliest look and said, "Registers closes down at 8. If it lets you pay, then okay, if not, oh well that's not my problem." First of all, registers don't just magically shut down, you choose to close them down. And there were still customers inside the store who hadn't even paid yet, so how does that make sense? I was literally in and out in under a minute, and my checkout time was 8:02 PM. There was absolutely no need for her to scream at her staff and give me attitude. Her name is Michelle. Seriously, get a new manager. I would 100% rather take care of one last customer than lose one over something so minor. Especially when the customer clearly says they're just grabbing one thing. read more

The sales manager Michele was amazing. She was so kind. And most importantly professional. I'm an instacart shopper and she actually took over my phone which made it a lot easier lol. Thank you Michelle I shall see you again! Great Vibes!!! read more

This store had clean space and I had experience an excellent friendly customer service from a young lady named Ariana, she went above and beyond to satisfy my needs and what I was looking for in primer and lipliner shade. I look forward using my new lipliner shade and the primer was amazing on my skin. read more

this is my usual ulta but i stopped in today and was looking for a specific product. two workers were standing next to me talking loudly about their personal lives and on their phones completely ignoring me. then i ask them for help and one ignores me while the other seems extremely annoyed i'm asking for help (lol) then she goes "hold on, i'm texting" what??? i wish i got her name read more

Just came in to do an exchange for a foundation with my receipt in hand, and do some shopping & I brought my own shopping bag. I was then accused of stealing on my way out. The manager was very unprofessional, said security saw me put a serum in my bag, which I was confused by, then told her I was going to purchase it, AND I PUT IT BACK. Did security see that?! Which she then THANKED ME! Everything else I had grabbed was purchased. She then told me "don't be coming in here doing that sh!t" so ghetto, so trashy, she should not be a manager. Never coming back to this store. I've been to several Ulta's and never have I ever been treated with such audacity. read more

I love buying at Ulta Beaut. cervando was great assessing me with the producta and help me with the exchange of a previous purchase that I wasn't satisfied with with. Highly recommended read more

I purchased a lot of stuff from here. One of the things was a hello kitty vanity last thing I really like it actually just doesn't last long time with battery usage mostly always has to be plugged in. Then I purchased perfume that they didn't have in stock and they also did not have perfume sampler's which is a little bit frustrating. To top it off I gave the person my exact address and I typed it in a few times and double checked as well. Then come to find out that my package was lost because they sent it to the wrong address apparently which was a big inconvenience for me and super extremely frustrating. It was my first time buying tree hut scrub which that was compared to pink scrub that I usually get very exfoliating and good but left my skin super dry afterwards. Other than that I mean it was OK and over priced but again it was decent. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

I had one of the best times here at this Ulta today. Normally when I go in it's really hard to find somebody to help you, but today I got very fortunate and I got Leslie B. ;) She spent the time with me picking and choosing some new spring lip colors she has a wonderful personality and it's really fun to laugh and talk to you as you are finding the right colors. Leslie thank you for the great experience! I'll be back and be sure to ask for you. ;) read more

Bought an item in store, but the price listed was lower than the price that was ringing up. Informed employee, Mylina, that she has to allow the price that is listed under the item and Mylina refused to give me the price that was listed. I informed her that according to law, what is listed is what needs to be honored, but she refused. Horrible customer service. She was incredibly rude and dismissive. Will call Ulta customer service. read more

Nick was AMAZING. Superb customer service and very knowledgeable in cosmetics. He has the patience to attend customers !!

I have gone to this store four times. Each time they were grossly understaffed on the floor, had low stock on the items I went in for, and had long lines. Perhaps employees would be nicer if there were more of them. Also the cashier didn't want to let me leave my " Happy Return" with a printed QR code on the counter and leave but demanded that I wait through the long line to hand it to him. read more

Honestly the customer service of the workers here suck. The testers are nasty af, wouldn't even put it on my skin. 100% would not recommend this location tbh. read more

Do not schedule an appointment to get your hair done with Nikki. She's a complete joke. I have made 4 appointments in the last 2 months and she has cancelled every single one - the last one she cancelled an hour before my appointment. Trust me, I am not unreasonable. Emergencies happen, but to cancel four times at the last minute is completely unacceptable. Ulta should not keep unreliable people employed. Not to mention, the turn around here is nuts. It's a revolving door if employees. They still have not hired anyone for the brow bar. The lines are always ridiculous. Save yourself the frustration and go to Sephora. Trust me. The management here is just horrible. Ulta Management: do not bother to apologize or reply to my negative feedback. It is meaningless. Look at the negative reviews. Clearly you guys can care less. read more

BIG SHOUT OUT to #HairByArielleLaPierre for absolutely stunning VIVIDs she put in my long brunette hair a couple days ago. I HIGHLY recommend Arielle for your VIVIDs needs!!! But a VERY important side note to the GM: PLEASE, either completely separate the salon speaker volume from the rest of the store or keep the music volume at a decent decibel! That confounded salon speaker sits just above Arielle's station and with the speaker in the wash area, it's absolutely professionally UNACCEPTABLE to turn the volume up in those two areas! If it weren't for Arielle and one of her salon co-workers being on top of making sure the volume was turned back down multiple times during my 3hr appt, I would've completely flipped my lid! The salon and the main store speaker volumes should be completely separate and the volumes for both set accordingly [period]. That said, Arielle ROCKS!!!! read more

The store is not clean, the staff for the most part is helpful but they're out of stock on so much. It's such a weird vibe in there. There was a guy with a sweatshirt covering his entire face trying on makeup in the back. Stuff all over in the wrong places and not many people to help. read more

Sales people so rude & condescending. Tells me the number & name on the tester lipstick tube doesn't match the numbers on the for sale ones. That you have to go off where it was positioned in the testers (well: those are Always mixed up). OF COURSE the number & name matches. Spent over $200 and they were sooooo rude at check out too. Never going back here. I may return everything as well. read more
