“***DON'T GET THE ULTIMATE CREDIT CARD YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!*** I went to Ulta to purchase Christmas gifts a year or so ago and got talked into getting the Ulta Beauty Rewards Card..THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!!!! My checking account got hacked which caused me to get behind on my house, car, and other bills. Which I contacted Ulta letting them know what was going on. So I still tried to keep up my credit cards and this card was one of them. I noticed that my credit limit went down but I didn't really feed into it until it went down even more, so I called and was told that they check your credit every 3 months and based what's on there they will decrease your limit..well my limit went from $700 to $100 and I ALWAYS have paid ON TIME..I even paid a late fee when I was on the internet trying to pay my bill and said paid with confirmation and when I contacted for a refund I was treated like I was NOTHING!!!! I recently found out that everytime Ulta check your credit that it was taking my score down even more so I closed my account..Ulta doesn't want my business and I don't want theirs!!! It was not disclosed that my credit will be checked every 3 months causing my score to go down nor did I authorize for them to check my credit. As long as I am paying my bill and on time what's on my credit after I received this card is none of Ulta business unless I'm requesting a credit limit increase. Had I known I would have NEVER gotten this card. I closed the account and was told once I pay the balance to call back because I will have interest and a late fee. WHY WOULD I HAVE ANY BALANCE IF I'M PAYING IT IN FULL???? This high interest rate, non caring company is BAD BUSINESS THAT I WOULDN'T SEND MY ENEMIES TO AND I'M SURE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS OR ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THEY RECEIVE!!!!!!! DON'T GET THE ULTIMATE CARD YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!”

“Website and app only allows you to use one gift card at a time. So you either have to spend your own money on the remainder of the order, defeating the purpose of a gift card, or you have to split your order up into multiple orders and pay multiple shipping charges on each.”

“DO NOT PURCHASE ITEMS FROM ULTA. My husband ordered me a Christmas present off of Ulta’s website on 12/4. A Dyson Airwrap which cost us $541.24. The delivery date was set for 12/16. Ulta delivers their packages through LSO (Lone Star Overnight) services. We patiently waited for the package and when the 16th came around and it was past midday we checked the tracking number to see where it was at. The delivery date changed and said it was delivered on 12/6 (we checked the delivery of the package often because of how expensive it was). The product was NEVER delivered to my house. So immediately when I saw this I contacted customer service and told them what happened. They said no problem they will elevate this up to higher management because the price was too high for the customer service employee to do it. They said we would hear in 24-48 hours back from them with a delivery date of the replacement Air Wrap. We waited and never heard from them. My husband called again and they told us the same thing this time they sent us an email saying it was being escalated. When we talked with the customer service representative they said the delivery company never took a picture to confirm the package was delivered. On 12/20 we received an email from Ulta saying “Since our records indicate that the package was delivered successfully to the address provided per the proof of delivery provided by (LSO) and we are not able to reship or refund the order due to our internal policies. We suggest checking any and all common areas where packages may be left, including entrance areas and mailboxes! We hope it turns up for you!” Ulta you have ROBBED my family! The packaged was NEVER delivered to my address. I live in a gated community. The likelihood of it being taken off my porch is slim to none. I have been SCAMMED by Ulta and been given the run around for days! They led us to believe they would handle it because they didn’t have proof of delivery. They have LIED and taken my money. NEVER order anything from this garbage company who cannot even deliver a package correctly.”

“Do not Ever waste your time working for this company. A PATHETIC MANAGEMENT TEAM IS BEYOND IS A JOKE. At BEST. The store is filthy. Just look at the floors. A hostile work environment and a high school clique work place is the norm. Such a disappointment. Training and work conditions are a nightmare. Shaming you is their form of oppression . Horrible people and work experience with these disgusting hateful women. Shame on you for being everything that is not about celebrating and encouraging women. I will not EVER ENDORSE Ulta or encourage anyone to shop your unbelievably guise of self esteem. You are EVERYTHING BUT. How disgusting are you…”

“Tamaris was the best customer service person I have met at Ulta in Rehobeth Beach, DE. I have found their other reps rude and dismissive; it has kept me out of the store. But I felt very good when Tamaris approached and offered help. He was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. I will go back if I can deal with him.”

“I received my order. Two items ordered were buy 2 get one free. I did not receive my free one for either item. When I called, customer service was poor in assisting me with resolving. They apologized but said they were unable to help me and unable to send me the free one, for either item. Will not order items online again. And would discourage others from doing so. Very poor customer service. And the virtual chat assistants offered misleading and wrong information. They should not post buy 2 get one free if they don't honor this deal, misleading customers.”

“I decided to order on line because of a promotion, so Ulta says to order 75 dollars worth of the product and you will receive a Kate Spade bag. Well 140 dollars later still no bag! I texted them , no one can help me. All I received was sorry have a good day. Horrible customer service! I will never shop there again!”

“I got online to check to see if my local Ulta had my perfume in stock. They did. However, they were running a promotion for a free travel size perfume for online orders only. So I decided to order online. That was a huge mistake! They shipped my perfume and cancelled my free travel size gift because they were "out of stock". I asked them to send me a the other fragrance that was in stock and they refused. Then, a few days later, my tracking showed delivered to a dock. My delivery address is RESIDENTIAL. We don't have a dock!!! I contacted them again about the package being delivered to the wrong address, and they couldn't care less. They told me that it showed that the package was delivered successfully, so there's nothing they can do. I again told them that it's obvious that I didn't get it because it was delivered to a DOCK AND HOUSES DON'T HAVE DOCKS! So, the person said they would escalate the problem for me to internal services. The very next morning, I have an email that they sent saying that the package shows it was delivered successfully so there's nothing they can do. They didn't even look into it! The email was sent within an hour or two after they escalated the situation. I called again this morning and they said they would escalate it again. They are giving me the run around and I have a feeling that I just lost $170 for nothing. I am disgusted with Ulta and will NEVER shop here again if they don't make this right.”

“I order some foundation and paid extra for same day delivery. If you do this Ulta used Door Dash a third party vendor fur delivery. I was ok with this received a text in the time and name of driver. Then I got another text stating my order was delivered. Check for my package outside my door no order. Called the number that was provided for the Door Dash delivery driver and could not communicate with him because he only spoke Spanish. I had to go to my neighbor to have him communicate with the driver to find out they were at the wrong address. My issue with this is why send a driver who can not communicate with the customer. After calling Ulta customer service I explained what happened and they tried to tell me my order never shipped and it was on back order. Basically calling me a liar like I never received text messages or talked to the driver. BEWARE DONT ORDER SAME DAY DELIVER!!! Ulta should consider using a different service that don’t make them look bad. In the end I was told that I would be completely refunded 3-4 days.”

“I ordered brow-tinted volumizer on line oct 30. I came to the store oct 31 and realized my driver's license was at home because I had a zoom call with the government TSA. Subsequently, the store at Easton Town Center would not let me p/u my purchase due to the policy of Ulta--that I would have needed my picture ID. I realize that the email to confirm said "show your pictured ID" but did not say Picture ID needed to p/u nor did I realize I did not have my ID w/me. I showed them my Medicare card, Facebook, Linkedin; Geez, I am 69 years old --and as an entrepreneur--I would have taken the word of a good client. It was an error--they could have asked me to send a copy of my ID when I got home. I called Customer Service to cancel and they would not until 6 days. nothing else. I am very dissatisfied with this. While I understand that for the most part, it is important to have rules--but in this situation, they should have "bent the rules". I spend considerable $s on beauty products and will prefer now to go w/Sephora instead of you due to this inconvenience. I rarely have time to p/u products live. SueK Columbus”

“Here it goes ya'll...... If I could give you a ZERO on Google Reviews I would. Today was the 1st and last time I will EVER shop at ULTA. For my birthday I received several gift cards for your store. I attempted to place an order, but your system or policy does not allow for more than 1 gift card purchase per transaction. Why? Who decided this? So I was forced to do separate orders to use my cards. Order #1, went through just fine. Order#2, you charged my bank card and my gift card but did not process my order. So I have to call (3 times I might add) to speak to one of your home-bound customer service agents who basically could not be of assistance. So not only did I have to place more than 1 order, and call more than 1 time, but I am told now I have to wait 3 to 5 business days for the $ to return to my bank and to my gift card??? I needed my products today, not 3 to 5 business days from now. You guys have completely ruined my birthday and given me the worst experience I have ever had. I have NEVER had to do more than 1 transaction for any store to use THEIR gift card! This is ridiculous, a waste of time and energy, and in the end, nothing will change because you are a BIG company, and I am a il person whose $250 does not mean anything to your billion-dollar industry. From one of your "could've been" customers you take for granted. Bb Rivera”

“A sales person stated she wanted to help me, first with Clinique concealer but couldn’t figure out how to open it. I then told her I lost my Mac fix compact powder, she said she would match me, took one tester put it lightly on my neck and said. PERFECT When I got home it was so wrong, i feel like if employees are going to walk around under the pretext of experts they should be able to do the basics”

“This Website is total scum. I've encountered an error during checkout twice, resulting in the failure of my order completion. However my account was charged for $42.89 every time. Adding to the frustration, the support team seems to be conveniently ignoring my ticket, so it is impossible to get a refund. This experience has led me to waste nearly $86 for absolutely nothing. If you have extra funds, I'd strongly advise considering a donation to charity instead. Otherwise, you might find yourself falling victim of Ulta Beauty scammers.”
