Luxury products.
September 20, 2018

I was a little skeptical but after taking a whirl at shopping here. I have come to find that this is one of the finer stores. I have to admit the samples and reward program is better than Sephora but the downside is that they lack a lot of key luxury products.

I am your regular customer
September 18, 2018

Of all the cosmetics that I have, about 60% are products of Ulta. For me, the main thing is the quality, so I recommend this particular company for all my friends.

ALL IN ONE STOP
September 16, 2018

Ulta is one of the best retail stores for your beauty and self care products. From hair to skin to make up, they have it all. And the best part? Everything is listed at an affordable price and they always have deals and promotions going on. AS of right now, be sure to go in store or online and participate in the 21 days of beauty where high end products are discounted at an insane amount. The employees will always help get you right.

ULTA
September 8, 2018

When I first came to the United States from the UK
I was a little skeptical but after taking a whirl at shopping here.
I have come to find that this is one of the finer stores.
The service was very friendly and everything had a place of its own.
It was tidy and they even sampled the product on you. So this store gets a thumbs up from me.

Has everything
August 31, 2018

Ulta has everything and is very similar to Sephora except it has wayyyy more. It also has a bigger variety, from more affordable products to the same high end products that Sephora has.

Better Than Sephora
August 27, 2018

I have to admit the samples and reward program is better than Sephora but the downside is that they lack a lot of key luxury products. I've never had a negative experience so far, just wish you had more diverse products.

Ulta
August 7, 2018

I like shopping at Ulta. The sales people on the floor are there to help but not in your face or pushy. I absolutely LOVE Ulta! Their brand of makeup is awesome for the price and they have the best points system!

As a former rewards customer for many, many years - I tried returning some cosmetic gifts for upgraded products without a receipt. The snooty Ulta manager offered me a $5.00 credit - she said the policy is to offer the lowest price ever paid for the products --- ridiculous! Returned the products to another store & received a $65 credit & bought $150 worth of new cosmetics. Ulta lost a good customer & poor "word of mouth" review.

Terrible service
July 22, 2018

Ordered 12 bottles of shampoo/ cond. And only received 4. Called customer service and was on hold 52 min before to talked to anyone. Said they would reorder and I would get email conf. Never got conf. So I called again and was on hold for 61 min this time and said they had a manager to get them out right away and even confirmed missing items. Got conf. Email and still missing 1 bottle! Love that I have a hassle to get items I paid for. All I got was an apology for a mistake that was not mine, missing items, extreme wait times, and Im still missing a bottle!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT order anything from Ulta International! I placed an order on July 1st (coming into Canada), received an email stating my order has been processed and thats when everything went downhill. 10 days later, the tracking number provided states my items havent yet been shipped. At that point I start getting weary so I call in. They cant find my order. Im told I will be called back before the end of the day. Dont hear anything for 2 days. Call back same response. Call back a third time, Im told a tier 2 associate will duplicate my order and will contact me within 48 hours. Dont hear anything for 4 days. Call back AGAIN and ask to speak to a supervisor (Ashley). Told shes busy and will call back before the end of the day. Still no call. When you factor in the amount of time Ive been put on hold AND the amount of waiting time before actually being put through to an agent, Ive spent about 3 hours on the phone. Still no products/information as to when theyll actually be dealing with my order. Today is July 16th. 15 days, 4 phone calls, 4 false promises of being contacted, 3 hours on hold, and 0 products have been delivered. Seriously, dont bother.
