“They continuously do not send the free gift I earn during the beauty event. It’s in my cart. I am supposed to get one and then I don’t . Then I call and they want ship the gift on its own. So they offer a 10 e-card . The fits is valued at $120. It’s a scam to get you to buy things. My daughter gets hers everytime and I do not and ulta refuses to make it right. I believe I am being scammed to buy things. I am sure I am not the only one. Fed up with Ulta”

“We had worst experiences with Ulta Beauty Manteca location 1) They don't show and help on beauty products for Indians 2) My Daughter had hair cut at Ulta beauty Manteca(Sep 15th) and Salon assistant is very rude and they have behavioral issues mainly against Indian community.”

“I recently went to the Germantown location to purchase some products; lashes and a few lip glosses. In the attempt to get assistance putting my lashes on, I asked if that was offered and the nice lady for MAC went to see if it was offered, well the Manager and assuming her assistant, immediately with the rudest tone, NO MAAM! I said it’s okay and it’s not the end of the world so I’m good. I walked over to the Anastasia counter to get help finding a lip liner for my lipstick and saw those same two ladies following me around the store to ensure I wasn’t asking for worker to do my lashes. I’ve never had this experience in my entire time coming there and I’ve asked other women who go to Ulta about this location near the Ross across from Kohl’s and they’ve have all stopped going because of the rudeness, unprofessional behavior. It’s really sad because we spend too much money at this place to deal with this attitude. To the young lady following the managers lead, you should probably find someone else to follow because if this is what you believe customer service is, you’ll never find work anywhere.”

“The 21 days of beauty with 50% off is a farce and misleading. I ordered the grand lash MD At 50% off, only receive half the product and a travel size!!!! What a sneaky trick. I guess the next thing you’ll say is, I should’ve checked the ounces and not rely and trust in your company to not be this deceitful.”

“The ladies room at the Ulta store at Sandhills Mall, Columbia, SC, is horrible. The Health department needs to be alerted. Nasty, sticky, floors, no soap, paper towel dispenser jammed, sinks filthy!!! Had to wash my hands with shampoo in the store, then dry them with toilet paper from an almost empty roll !!! Yuck! I cannot believe this is a beauty store!!”

“I had applied for a credit card back in October 2023, never received the physical card, because of that i forgot about the charged. My credit rating was hurt and I got ding 51 points, call them and made a full payment and requested to close the card back in January 2024 and i thought I was done with this card. But reviewing my credit report on August 30th, turns out The Ulta beauty cards still showing and now i own them $147. Today September 2, 2024 I call them, spoke to Abby and them I got transfer to Debbie, I have been on hold for the last 45 minutes, my request is to remove this unknown charge of $147 and to remove this negative record off my credit report. Bebbie left me on hold, she went to get her supervisor and for the last 55 minutes i have been waiting for her supervisor. Unbelievable.!!! This company has been a nightmare to me! Did she forget i was on hold!!!!”

“Three times I have ordered things from Ulta with the item saying free gift with purchase. Never have I gotten the free gift. They’re always out of it. I believe this is deception. If a company offers a free product with purchase and they’re out of it they should offer something else. But they never do they just say oh well we must be out of it. Where I’m from this is known as bait and switch. I will NOT be shopping at Ulta any more!”

“I am writing a paper on the worst customer service so even though it was like 4 years ago, the customer service reps were the most horrible people I've ever spoke with.(Not a store, the call center) I was having packages stolen left and right from my apartment building and every company refunded my money except Ulta. They simply passed me around to different agents, when that package had over $300 worth of product in it. I explained I can't afford this loss, I was buying things to last a long time. I had asked the post office to hold my packages but they never did. So with this package I run to get it when I'm notified it was delivered. It was gone. When I called they were giggling making up that they would help me. #1 clue they had no ethical standards, and were never educated or dissaplined when giving answers to customers. I went as far as filing a police report so they knew I wasn't making this up. Not only did they refuse to credit it back because they said it was delivered, (but not to me) they refused to even reissue a $10 off coupon I used. Devastated my finances. Soulless, profit focused business, which is why their employees and customers both hate them.”

“Fine block number and ignore my emails. Fine block number and ignore my emails. In March 2024 I made 30 purchases at Ulta online and had several problems. I have called more than 1000 times and my 2 phone numbers have been blocked and I have sent more than 100 emails and no one has resolved anything so far. They just tell me to wait. They do not honor the promotions and do not let me return the purchases and I have several boxes in the middle of my living room for 5 months. I am having a loss and it is affecting me emotionally. I spent more than $10 thousand and I cannot do anything with the products until it is resolved. I am exhausted from so many calls and emails and nothing is resolved and each time I have to tell the same story from beginning to end. I am emotionally exhausted from so many problems that this store is causing me.”

“I ordered Ulta Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Creamy Concealer. It is horrible and leaves actual pieces and fragments of I don't even know what to call it (dot like substances) under my eye. I have tried it with undereye moisturizer and without any undereye moisturizer. I paid shipping to get it here, and would have to be shipping to send it back; so I guess I'm just out the $$$ as they don't provide FREE returns even though I already paid shipping. Thus, it would cost more $$$ than the product itself sending it back when you combine my shipping cost getting it to my house and shipping cost if I would send it back. Very disappointed and will not buy any future Ulta products. This was Order #: M111766051”

“How anyone does any business with this place is beyond comprehension. I just got dinged for the second, and LAST, time. I ordered a Morphe palette and it arrived totally smashed up. I tried to EXCHANGE it for the same product in new condition. They required a return and re-purchase. When you return something to this despicable place you are charged a return fee. So instead of an even exchange, I am to pay for their inability to properly, and safely, wrap products for shipment. UNBELIEVABLE. Bottom line- DO NOT patronize this business.... I will NEVER AGAIN buy anything from these thieves.”

“This is about DANA in customer service. If i could give 0 stars for customer service, i would. I was enticed to open credit card for free gift. First bill received was $8.53. I went in store to pay cash, which was refused…..I guess they don’t trust their employees as other stores accept cash payments at the register on credit card bills. Tho I sent in my payment, it was late. I received a late fee of $25 at which time, I called customer service and explained the situation & asked for a one-time customer service exception, which I know other companies will do as well. Instead of waiving on a one-time/1st billing offense, They could only offer me $15 off. Ridiculous!! I refused to pay. Now I get a call from DANA at customer service & I tried to explained to her what happened. She was SO incredibly RUDE-kept talking over me & basically would not let me talk. Then she threatened me with my credit rating….I could not get a word in edgewise! I just hung up! What has happened to customer service. I have called various customer service lines over the years With a question, and they listen & allow you to talk..that is customer SERVICE. This was ridiculous & made me so mad, so I am writing this review. I will not shop at this store EVER! I will order products online from Amazon & have them delivered to my door or go to Sephora.”

“I ordered over $110 in product from Ulta with a total of 6 products. A padded envelope arrived with one of the six products. When I contacted the company through email and by phone, they refused to make the situation right saying they could see that a package had been delivered. I contacted the BBB to file a complaint and realized they have a ONE STAR rating with them as well. Even with the BBB contacting them to help resolve this issue of the missing product, Ulta refused to talk with me live or make an effort to resolve the issue.”

“Salon services are horrendous not qualified to groom a dog . Rebecca the “Master” when someone is called a master .. you would think it’s because of training time in chair .. not al Ulta “Master Stylist is determined by sales .. upselling services products that is how a master is established in UlTa . Her services were SubPar and her hair knowledge is severely lacking I went to the Ulta on Bell Surprise location . To be honest from the services I seen being preformed ALL the stylist need further education ..”

“I purchase 2 items via online and chose the store pick up. Went to the store on 7/12/2024 around 8pm. I followed their instructions as "In Store Pickup 1. Go to the pickup area near checkout. 2. Show the barcode below to get your beauty goodies." When I showed the bar code to the cashier, she said "What's your last name?" which I gave my last name to her. She grabbed the item then said, "What's your order number? " At this point I was getting irritated because the bar code was to make this transaction easier for the customer. I had to find the order number and gave it to her. Then now she asked me to show her my ID! I couldn't believe how ridiculous her customer service was not to mention she inconvenienced the customer. I asked her what's the point of the bar code if I had to go through all these, she got a nerve to say, "oh because it's easier for me." What?! Get the f out of here!!!! Go find another job besides the customer service!!! If I was her boss, I will fire her!!!!!!”

“If I could give a half star, I would. This salon is not meant for natural black customers. The paired me with a black female that already knew they did not have the type of product that was needed for my hair. I told the young lady I have an interview in the morning and instead of her saying it may be in your best interest to go to….She washed, conditioned and put some other stuff on my hair, but didn’t define my curls, didn’t try to mousse it with roller rods for the style I asked for, told me finger waves won’t work on my hair, and unfortunately, I am the person who believed her. Told a friend of mine and she sent me a you tube video of someone with hair like mine with finger waves…. So, basically the Ulta styles just didn’t have the knowledge and/or experience…. Lesson learned on my end.”
