“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.”

“I was very happy with Timmy’s assistance at Ulta, on Bay Area today! He was very attentive and got me the products that I needed for my teen in a very timely manner. He was very patient with us. Highly recommend!”

“I returned some items yesterday, and the customer service from the lady behind the counter was awful!! First she start looking up my return, then walked away and started talking about getting a break, and I had to tell the supervisor that the lady was working with a customer and should not be talking about breaks. When she came back, she said “I didn’t walk away from you, I was waiting for my computer to load your information “. What a bunch of BS, you walked away from me lady! Second she tried to tell me the item I was returning was not used, someone just opened it in the store to look at it. Umm NO, it was opened and used, because there was hair in the curling iron!!! On top of it all, the lady was training someone else. That poor soul, can’t imagine the training she is getting from someone who puts words in the customers mouth, walks away from the customer, and is more concerned about a break!! The Supervisor at least came over and apologized for not seeing me initially and not realizing the clerk was with a customer.”

“This relates to the store in Broken Arrow off Hillside Drive and happened today around 1:30pm. Worst customer experience. The person that waited on me was wearing a plain white t-shirt and was telling the man two registers over that he was cheating on her. She completely ignored her when I asked her two questions. She tried shoving all of my products in a tiny bag and I asked her for a bigger bag and she said the next bag is too big. I told her I do not want those products spilling out all over my car, which they would and to please give me a bigger bag. A cashier should be listening to the customer, not flirting with the man two registers over and she looks like she just rolled out of bed. Additionally, I could not try the new Billie Ellish perfume because it, as well as several other perfumes were either empty or missing the spray nozzles.”

“I am so done with ordering online from Ulta. I'm used to lasership or whatever joke outfit they use for delivery leaving my box on top of the mail box or under a tree next to the mail box or in the creek. But this time I only received 4 of the 9 items I ordered. 3 of the 5 missing items I paid 80 dollars for. I called their customer service number and nothing against whomever I just spoke to, I think she's sending replacements and then she offered a 15 dollar gift card for the free gifts with purchase she can't send, and I politely declined, because I would actually have to go into a store to use the gc and then get followed around like I'm stealing with 10 people asking me a hundred times "can I help you find anything?can I help you find anything?can I help you find anything? Ugh. Break-ups suck but I'll wipe my tears and move on goodbye Ulta”

“I was disappointed with my haircut, the stylist botched my haircut in several places, he indicated that he had been in business for over 30 years, based on his statement I thought he knew how to cut my hair but unfortunately he made a total mess. Cutting my hair wet was the first mistake he made and that was a concern I had .But I truly believe he was capable of cutting. I left him and had to find another Barber to clean up the back of my hair because of the mess that was made. I will never visit Ulta Beauty and will continue to share this information with my neighbors and friends. Disappointed and saddened by this experience. 4/21/2023 1:00 pm appointment.”

“I used to like Ulta but not anymore. First they cancelled my hair appointment 20 minutes before my haircut and so I rescheduled for 3 weeks later. Then 2 days before my rescheduled appointment they rescheduled my appointment for a different day and time without my permission. I will never go there again.”

“I purchased the T3 1 1/4" Voluminous Curls Convertible Barrel for my mom for the holidays. Ulta was having a great Cyber Monday Sale, but I had ordered the wrong size and was just looking to exchange for the 1" barrel. That shouldn't be too hard right? WRONG. Since the curling iron is not in stock and no longer the same price, they aren't willing to order it in the correct size and price match? I also work retail and understand the limitations of ordering online, however, not in this scenario. I called customer service and spoke with representative Adrian who was rude and wouldn't let me get a word in. It took him to the end of the phone call to finally ask for my order number. I called back later after speaking with one of my local Ulta Beauty stores (who told me to call back as she thought they didn't seek correct action). I spoke with Dominique, who was very kind and tried to help me find a solution. I am now waiting to hear from my local Ulta Beauty on the next steps. Hoping Ulta will rectify this and hope I can later leave a better review.”

“Ulta sent a catalog to my address for someone who moved away about 10 years ago. Customer Service would not allow me to stop the mailings, because I am not the customer. They wanted MY account data, which I refused. I have gone through live chat, emails and messages on Facebook, but after DAYS, no one will remove the person from the mailing list for such a simple request. This is the worst business practice I've ever run into.”

“Went in for some products the cashier asked if I wanted to save a little more by opening up an Ulta card with them. I thought no big deal sure I've done that other places why not? WARNING WARNING WARNING The girl didn't confirm my billing address and failed to tell me that the Bank they deal with does not accept POBOX as a billing address. I never received the Card, or a bill. I am trying to get in touch with their management and that itself is another disaster. Do yourself a favor and, KEEP AWAY FROM THIS UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY.”

“I love Ukta and their products, however, I will start ordering through a retailer who is not contracted with Lasership as their delivery service is horrible. No direct communication with an actual person after marking my package as out for delivery 4 times and delivery attempted times each of which I was home and able to recieve my package. Furthermore, a signature was not required, so I really don't know what the hold up is. I am a person who loves the truth... someone dropped the ball? Cool... just TELL me that and stop the frustration and confusion.”

“The employees are EXTREMELY rude, when I walked in, I was not greeted but scolded because I parked in the Curbside Pickup stall, (there were two empty stalls on each side. But I committed a cardinal sin by parking there. I can't believe companies like these (brick and mortar) can stay in business with employees such as these. The employees are so unhelpful and rude. If you don't look like them or have a full face of make up on and dressed up they really have no reason to be friendly to you. It's astounding to me that the employee found it more important to worry about the curbside pickup stall rather than greeting a customer who took the time to come to their store. I worked at Nordstrom years ago and was taught the value of customer service, perhaps the Ulta employees should take a class. The fact the employee felt it necessary to worry more about a curbside parking stall rather than help a customer who drove there, found a place to park, and walk into the store ( I most likely would have spent more money ) is needless. It completely ruined my otherwise good day. I felt like I just didn't matter, useless, irrelevant. I love the products Ulta has, but I left feeling depleted and sad.”

“Buckle up buttercup! This is a long and detailed review of my Ulta.com experience. TLDR: I will NEVER shop Ulta.com again. Their shipping policy is unfair and I don’t want to waste my energy.... I called Ulta because I didn’t receive the package that they said I should have received. To their credit, there was a photo of a package sitting on my step that they said the carrier delivered. This is not a matter of whether or not the package was delivered to me, but rather did I actually receive it, and the answer is no. Now we all have heard of or experienced companies going through great lengths to make sure that the customer is satisfied. I am here to tell you that Ulta is NOT that company. I first became aware of the problem because I decided to track the shipping on my package. It said that the package should have arrived on 5/9/22. At that time there was no photo uploaded to the tracking information. (As a side note, Amazon had also sent me 5 packages ON THE SAME DAY, all of which I actually received and are sitting in my home currently) I called Ulta that evening and expressed that I did not receive that package. The representative told me they would open an investigation and get back to me within 24-48 hours. I thanked her and waited to hear more. The following day, I received an email stating Thanks for getting in touch about your Ulta.com (ORDER NUMBER REMOVED). After further review, our records indicate that the package was delivered successfully to the address provided per the proof of delivery provided by Lasership. 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!” Upon receiving this email I called them back. I explained to them that I understand that this is their business structure but I don’t think it is fair that the customer has to bear the responsibility for items that they did not actually receive. I mentioned to them that my purchase was $80 and that I had shopped at Ulta before with no prior problems. This is the first time I have ever lodged a complaint about not receiving my product and this was not me “gaming the system”. Additionally, I pointed out that Ulta, as a major company, should have some kind of insurance to cover purchases made by their customer and should protect the customer. Even if they don’t have insurance, you would think they would want me to continue to be a lifelong customer (seriously folks, I have gotten my hair done in their salon multiple times, purchased I don’t know how much product over the years, recommended and took my mom to the store to purchase her products, etc.). After speaking with a service rep (Dawn) who was very friendly and sincere, I was passed along to the supervisor. The supervisor basically confirmed the same thing Dawn had already said. Having worked in retail before, I know that they offer at least SOMETHING to any customer who so much as complains about a product or shipment. Even a coupon for a future purchase would have made me feel better. All I got was an apology. To say this entire experience was frustrating is a massive understatement. Before getting off the phone with the supervisor I asked her flat out, is there ANY incentive you can give me to return to Ulta in the future. CRICKETS. NOTHING! The woman went radio silent and then finally apologized again and hightailed it off the phone line. So here’s the bottom line: Ulta does not have to worry about me EVER ordering from them again. FULL STOP and PERIOD! I will keep my ordering to a place that actually will make sure that I walk away feeling satisfied (Hey Amazon!!!! ) Additionally, I will make sure that I blast Ulta at EVERY opportunity. I will tell friends, family, strangers, social media outlets, and anyone else I can think of about this harrowing experience. Please just exercise caution when dealing with this company. They have already shown their true colors to me, and I don’t want anyone else to deal with the foolishness that I went through.”

“The courier service said they showed proof of delivery for an item i never received. I spent $700 for a product I don't have. I am being punished by Ulta and the horrible courier service (which is not even a reputable company, all you have to do is stop being lazy and do your research and you will see this is a common theme with them). I don't understand why Ulta would ship a $700 package through an unknown source it should have been FedEx or UPS. I am now having Ulta and that courier service investigated which started yesterday. Your company has made me the criminal when I have done absolutely nothing wrong, within an hour after the delivery (I was at work 40mins away, and didn't get off until 6pm and make it home until nearly 7pm), I had my friend go down to my door within an hour of "delivery" and she said nothing was there! So how in the world did my package disappear? it was placed at my frontdoor, And why wasn't it placed in the mailroom in the locker so that I could get a code to retrieve it, the courier service was lazy and actually never came to my property! Ulta says the courier has proof of delivery but has refused to show this proof and a picture of the delivery. On top of that, the person delivering for the company is independent, which means they're hired by them to drop packages off and if they marked delivered, they are paid around $2 to $3 per delivered item. So where is my package Ulta? do you truly think that everyone is a liar and that there are no honest people? $700 for an item I don't have but now have paid for. you should have never used LSO (Lonestar Overnight Shipping). on top of that I called them 3 times and was on hold for nearly an hour each time and no one ever picked up, I left my name for a callback and they never tried to reach me. this is a shady company and cannot believe a reputable company like Ulta is okay with this service.”

“If you order online you run the risk of your package being left anywhere the delivery company deems ok, even if it is a n apartment complex, wheee it can be taken by anybody. I live in apt complex that has a delivery hub to prevent this, however it was dropped in the foyer where there is no security. And because of this the package is gone, however not their problem, can you imagine if the post office did the same with your mail. Ulta doesn't deem it suffient, so not only do I need to pay for what I didn't get, if I want it, I need to buy it again. Never order from them, they contracted the cheapest delivery company and we pay the price”

“I am disappointed that Ulta chose to go through LSO for delivery. I usually get UPS FED EX AMAZON AND UBER at my address. Today my delivery from LSO said bad address. So no delivery. They didn't even bother trying to call me or reach out to clarify. This is unacceptable. Period.”
