On Jan. 15, 2020 I went into the St. Clairsville, Ohio store in the Mall. If you check my records I am a very good customer. I saw there were two girls working, then one went to the salon to discuss boy friend talk could hear them. Went to the other girl stocking some products on shelf, I excused my self and asked her about a new product, she stopped looked...

Ulta Beauty shipping/delivery/app error

I placed an order through the Ulta app (the 2nd order for me through the app in less than 30 days). I followed the delivery status and it showed it was delivered to front door on Dec 30, 2019. It was never received and I checked with my neighbors of which none received it. I contact Ulta and at first I was told they could either credit my account or reship the items. I asked them to please reship as I really wanted these items. The next email I received asked what address my order was to be shipped to and I told them. They then proceed to tell me it was shipped to a different address. The address it was shipped to is one I have not lived at in many years. I have ordered and received at least 6 orders since I moved from that address. Upon looking at my Ulta profile, I see that old address is checked as my default shipping address. I did not choose that option as I obviously do not reside there and have received many packages from Ulta at my correct address. Ulta's customer service then said they could not do anything since it shows it was delivered. They can clearly see my order history and shipping especially since this was the 2nd order in less than 30 days. The total order was $38.08 so I understand it is not a large order but still an order I wanted and paid for and did not receive due to no error on my part.

I have shopped at Ulta at Asheville mall in NC for many years. I recently spent $100's on clarins products there. I recently also bought some nail polish I did not like. when I went to return it I was coldly told I was not allowed to return or exchange the nail polish until the year was over. The manager was cold and rude to me. I will never shop there...

I called a week ago to set up a perm to be done at your Ulta Garner location. I asked the lady who took my call if the person she was setting me up with 'Jackie' could do perms. Oh yes, she said. I asked if I needed to bring in my large rollers. Oh no, we have those. Great... the appointment was booked for 5pm when I got off work. Two days before the...

I walked into the store 13 mins before they were going to close to exchange an EXACT item from a conditioner to a shampoo. I went and grabbed the shampoo and headed directly to the register taking into consideration that they were closing shortly, only to be left waiting while Dominique, the store manager, stood behind the counter talking with her associate...

Ulta Beauty customer service / returns

I have called ULTA Customer Service Twice & have been on hold longer than I talked to a person. After 2 different phones numbers I still have NOT received my Return Refund even though I have a tracking number and it was received on 10/2/19 & today is 10/31/19. The package had 2 returns inside. I did get credit for one but not the other and all I get is put on hold and told to wait . I have waited almost a month and no refund. SO HELP ME, when & IF I get this resolved & pay this card off I will NEVER purchase from ULTA again and I will burn the card.
I thought the lack of customer care was only in the store. That's why I only shop online and NOW I will not do that anymore either.

Ulta Beauty credit card

Ok, first off, I understand by having a credit card I've agreed to pay every month on time. However, things in life do happen that sometimes cause people to be a bit late on their payments. I've been pretty decent about paying on time, so WHY THE HELL are you guys calling my phone up to 5 times a day from an unknown number (even on effing Saturdays?) just because I'm late on one payment, that I've paid half, not even by a month? THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IS HARASSMENT. IT NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY STOP. You guys want your money, I get it, but stuff in life comes up and I'm not even a month late, so back off and stop calling me from unknown numbers so many times a day. I feel like you're one of my ex boyfriends, and that's sad. This has really made me have a total different outlook on you guys now, so thanks for that.
I also like how the statement below says, ‘hopefully you'll get your answer soon.' Such BS. You guys are really sucking right now, not a good look I gotta say.

I pickd up a double pack of Kenra Hair Spray and took it to the check out counter and the cashier (Leslie) told me she could not sell it to me. She said they should have pulled it from the shelf. I explained to her there were 4 more on the shelf. She went and pulled them. She just said to do more shopping. She did not get a manager or offer a solution. When...

When I went into the store I was looking for travel size clinique products that I use as I am going on a cruise and need to pack accordingly. The girl asked me in the testing manner what number do you use I said 4 (toner) the girl then goes to tell me that they only give samples for makeup. Which is a huge lie because i've always tested clonique before I...

Ulta is nothing but scamming company that lures you in with free samples for a certain amount of money spent only to have glitchy website that disappears your free samples on your order.Calling their customer service is a joke.They been advise by the higher up not to help the customers so the company hangs on to making more of a profit.The reps lie give you the run around as if you did something wrong.I hope Ulta loses all their customers.Maybe if enough people report this scheming company they can get investigated and close down.

I made an online appointment for the salon. Four days before my appointment an Ulta employee by the name of Hannah called and said she had questions about what exactly I wanted. I explained to her that I wanted two dutch braids. My original appointment was scheduled for Wednesday October 16 at 10:30 am. She asked if I could come in later and I said no that...

A week ago, my friend (who doesnt shop at ulta or sephora) bought a Perricone MD product for my birthday and stupidly (ill admit) didn't request a receipt or a gift receipt. I requested to exchange said item for another as the boxes look pretty similar an employee with short dark hair named Karlee ?? (employee) told me I couldn't exchange it because she...

Ulta Beauty hair salon

Had appt for hair color for $75. After arriving I asked the lady if she could just "dust" the ends on the length only. Nothing else cut. I figured I'd have to pay for a trim. When I left I was charged $45 for a dusting. She never told me I'd have to pay for a full haircut. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have had her do it. It took all of 3 min to do it...for $45. When I asked the mgr, she just shook her shoulders and said oh well, there's nothing I can do. She didn't even TRY to make the customer happy. That was my first experience at ulta for the salon and it wasn't a good experience!

Ulta Beauty firing and harassments

This company I thought I loved it. I adored it with a passion. When I first started I was very much discriminated against though from a manager that is now fired after I went to HR. I got rehired and witnessed a store set up and a house clean of managers... because I don't think the DM liked the style of the old managers, etc.

I fought through for a year and earned a manager position but when I say earned, I MEAN 4 months with no managers but 1 left from the original crew and having other store managers beg and promote me to the DM, to have her finally give me the PSM position.

She is a new DM... she already discriminated once and I think she had it very much out for me. I was not her first choice. Also every new manager was hired around the same time as me and two managers were brand new to the company. We were completely set up to fail again... no training was done and I was the most knowledgeable of every new manager. The last manager quit who was apart of the original team bc she was put the the runner.

I was attacked and grouped by employees and bullied and I took the to the GM bc people were upset I got the position. I organized and coached and talked and helped everywhere I could.

I was fired after two months on a policy that I wasn't trained on for manager. No written, no verbal, straight to term.

I found out that a manager told her fiancé who talked to friends a t the bar that she did everything she could to get me fired.

This is not okay and I think the DM was just looking to get me out and finish the house clean.

Since July 9, 2019, I have filed the same complaint several times, given useless complaint numbers. I was told i was going to receive a follow up call to make sure my issue was addressed, within 24-48 hours. We are now in August. I am beyond disappointed, baffled, and disgusted! I have been brushed under the rug! My situation may have called for calling the...

Ulta Beauty trying to pay bill off.

I was mislead into applying for a charge care at Ulta. I was there to use a $75 gift certificate from my daughter. They used that and then on the receipt I received yesterday is a balance. I just want to pay it off. But they saw you have to have a check, I have not used checks in years. I could talk to someone else and pay an additonal $9. It is the most insane process I have been thru. I was on the phone for about 2 hours and no resolve. Linda P. West Chester, Ohio

I am new to the makeup world as well as California. I have only been to Ulta a few times, each time a pleasant and informative experience with Israel. Today she wasn't there and Andrea asked if I needed any help. She was from the east coast, she knew about the products, she knew what I was looking for and tips to help me with my makeup problems.
