I find it amazing how much women spend on makeup and skin care products. And it's similarly amazing how much men spend on makeup and skin care products as gifts for women. Today was a visit with my daughter for Christmas presents (yeah, this review is a little late) for my wife. I was here to do the driving and the paying, carrying the basket as my daughter plucked product after product off the shelves and into the basket. Oy, vey. She stuck to brand names I had heard of or at least ones I've seen in my wife's makeup palette so it wasn't cheap but it is all high quality stuff and that's likely reflected in the price tag.

I get my hair done at this Ulta with Sam, and he is ALWAYS booked and busy for GOOD reason! not only is he kind, but he always makes sure you leave his chair feeling like a 10! As for the store itself, it's always clean, I get constantly asked if I need assistance, and everyone is very friendly. I also love getting my brows done here and have never had a bad experience. Also, if you aren't getting a facial with the amazing Ms. Phylis, what are you doing?! This Ulta has so much to offer. highly recommend! read more

This store has never been a good store. I have had so many issues picking up online orders, getting help with products and just basic customer service. After being platinum with them for years, i will never shop with them again. read more

I had originally asked for a purple with black sort of gradient hair. I was in the chair for a good 4 plus hours. I think the purple may have sat too long and bled with the black that was applied to the top of my head? The purple was ONLY noticeable in sunlight at best and Grace informed me the longer it stayed in the longer it would last and I'll see the color more after some washes. Needless to say it has been about 2 weeks and the color is gone? It's not what I asked for. The color I asked for will be posted first so you guys can compare. And yes I use the correct shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. I'm really bummed out: this was a hair style I longed for, purple hair and it didn't even last 2 weeks after I was told it was "permanent." read more

I just read a review from a lady who said that no one speaks to her when she comes into the store, will speak to customers of another race behind her. As a black woman, I've never had this experience, they always speaks to me... until today. when I walked in, there were two employees standing at the door, talking one of them turned and looked at me and turned around and kept talking, neither one of them spoke. I walked around and purposefully looked confused and no one asked me if I needed assistance. read more

This is a decent store with several beauty hair care nail care and body care items. This store has a shared parking lot in a shopping center. The prices are a bit high but they have a rewards program. You can also order online. The customer service is lacking where people don't speak when they see you or offer any help. The line is long typically which deters me from coming. Frequently there is no one to help if you have a question. They could benefit from hiring a full staff or educating those who are working in customer service. They also have a hair care station. I haven't used the stylist at this location but the salon in general seems nice. The store is clean and well lit. Hope this helps! read more

I had a disappointing experience at this Ulta location on 12/1 @4:40. I came in to exchange a Dior perfume, and the person assisting me had an unprofessional attitude throughout the interaction. Instead of being helpful or polite, they made the process uncomfortable and unpleasant. Customer service should make people feel welcomed, not like they're an inconvenience. I expected better from a store like Ulta. (She had a white/tan top and gray "joggers" her name is Madison) read more

When I visit a salon I usually have my hair roots touched up, hair cut in layers and then dried. In my first to Ulta Beauty Waverly I informed the hairdresser of the precise color used on my blond hair for touch up on my hair roots, which were gray. She chose the wrong color, and thus the root touch up was done incorrectly, in a very dark brown tone. I pointed out, immediately when she started,, that color looked wrong, but hairdresser ignored me and completed it, resulting in a pronounced 2 layer tonality which is gross. First inch or two of hair at scalp is colored medium brown, with rest of hair is a medium blond tone. When I called general manager Claudette the next day to register my complaint, i was set up with appointment for hair color correction with male hairdresser who was only available on Friday evening, at 5 pm. Although I explained that this timing was bad, he said. there was no other time that could be offered. Is this any way to treat your customers? read more

I have been getting my hair done with Mr. Sam and he just amazes me. He is so good my husband and my sister have now become his clients as well! The staff is kind and Jennifer did a GREAT JOB waxing my husbands eyebrows for the first time! My husband loves Sam because he doesn't just buzz his hair away, he really takes his time and uses only scissors which just looks so awesome. Highly recommend this Ulta and the Salon services! read more

Nice new shopping area by Providence. I was greeted and the employees were all friendly with a smile, and eager to help. Never once did I felt discomfort as I've previously had at an Ulta location that's nearby. I used to be a frequent shopper there but I will surely prefer to come to this location instead. Shelves were stocked, organized and very clean. Check out the shopping center as well. There were plenty of restaurants as well a CVS and a froyo shop. read more

Ulta Beauty - It was either homework or dashing to Ulta's for their daily special. Tonight was 50% off on Not Your Mother's - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Worst ulta ever. Terrible customer service. I asked 5 workers if they could test match me on a foundation. And they just kept bouncing me back and at the end NO ONE helped me. The manager was rude as hell, terrible terrible attitude. She was more worried about getting some personal shit done than to do her own JOB. I had to get another customer to help me match my foundation... just sad. Once this one worker heard me complaining on the phone she decided to ask if I needed help Do not recommend, also most things were not restocked. read more

It's Ulta which is a woman Happy Place for any and everything from hair to nails to make up to perfume to sampling beauty goodies. This new location is awesome as it's conveniently located on Providence in a shopping center that is soon to be my new FAV as they are opening all of my FAVORITE places in one location much closer to our home than the other locations of these places including but not limited to WHOLE FOODS, Panera Bread, etc.. WE happen to visit while BareMinerals was having a Beauty event which was perfect because my teenager is a Senior in H.S and will be going on Prom and has never worn make-up so we let them try some looks out on her face. I also met Rose who is the Brow expert and she filled in my eyebrows which was perfect as I had datenight with my husband the same day. I made an appointment with her for the next day to have a BrowMap and Brow services completed. I will say I wrote a tip about having an appointment and having to wait. I still stand by that as I'm a business woman and I like to arrive at least 5-10min before my appointment (just in case I can get in early) and at least be in the seat at the start of my appointment and in this case I wasn't in the seat until 15 minutes after my appointment time as there was someone who was a walk in in the seat. I made another appointment for next month and will be there beforehand again as I give at least 2 chances before I just stop trying and hopefully I can get in the seat on time. I really like Rose she is personable and good at her job. I had to revamp my Ulta rewards as I hadn't used it in forever because I just don't go to Ulta anymore as I prefer shopping online but since this place is now located where it is I will make more visits :-) Believe That! read more

I am a huge fan of Ulta & this is a great new location for them. I was in the week before Christmas & found that this store was stocked with everything on my shopping list. On my visit, the employees I encountered were friendly & helpful. Also, I didn't have to wait long in line to checkout, which was nice. Since the new Waverly shopping center hasn't been completed yet, getting in & out was pretty easy. However, once the shopping center is completely developed, this is likely to be a very busy location. Still, for me, it's easier than going to the Stonecrest location. I'll definitely be going back to this location. read more

This location in particular ALWAYS makes me regret waking through the door. No one greets me. Yet, when someone of another race walks in right behind me or before me, they're greeted immediately. That's UNACCEPTABLE!! No one offers to assist me even if I'm walking around clearly looking for something. However, again, when someone of another race is walking around, I see them getting approached and asked if they need help. I've often been directed to the wrong place when I've run someone down asking where something is. Even upon checking out, the people at the register aren't welcoming and don't even acknowledge you in a friendly customer service way. Bottom line..... very racist staff. They have no shame in showing it either. read more

Employees don't know anything about where to find makeup products. Also making weird comments about my child. Focus more on helping your customers rather than being creepy and weird. Won't be back to this location. read more

Insanely unprofessional manager named Courtney refused to take my return back without a receipt and had the nerve to tell me that she could give me $0.00 shop credit without a receipt. Told her off and walked out. Wouldn't you!? read more

I made an appointment at the Salon here for a root touch up. Everything went on time, and the stylist, Tammy, matched my hair very well. Overall my roots were covered, and were a very close match to my hair. The bad. Nothing put on my hairline to prevent color bleed, would not color my eyebrows, shampoo was a nightmare. I have never had such a torturous shampoo...this is usually when you relax the most! She shampooed the first time and raked through my hair over and over...painful!! Then a second time, same thing. During this painful experience, recommended a conditioning treatment...saying that was the reason for all the pulling and that I was 'shedding'. HELLO? You're literally pulling the hair out of my head! I have never, ever had someone do that to my hair with shampoo only. Quite frankly, I never want to experience it again. Finally some conditioner, which of course was much easier. No head massage, absolutely the worst experience I've ever had in my lifetime for a simple shampoo. This is certainly NOT how you treat wavy/curly hair...or any hair for that matter. Then came time for 'styling'. She asked how I wanted it styled, and I said leave-in condtioner and some gel. I had to repeat this three times between the shampoo area and the chair. She pulled out a leave-in conditioner from a drawer, and then was randomly pulling bottles to find a gel. She took the first one she found, didn't matter if it was suitable for my hair. At that point I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Back to Modern Salon and Spa. Just unbelievable. read more

Not a good experience! I went there today Saturday at 1130, a weekend and after the store has been opened for an hour and half. While there were several associates just casually walking around w baskets in aisles doing small things w merchandise, there is a line, well 2 lines forming.. one in the middle and people at the side of the store in that lane, waiting to be checked out, while there is 1 cashier moving very slowly and never even looked up at all of us waiting and how many people, different lines. I was waiting 10 minutes almost and was hoping someone would come and help ring. No one acknowledged whatsoever. Other lady next to me in line said, this is ridiculous, where is everyone. I finally put my items back and left. I then called the store, asked to speak w management, i spoke a Camille that said she was the store manager, and i couldn't believe how rude and unprofessional she was. Her first response when i told her everything was, with a chuckle, i mean I'm sorry you had to wait in line longer than expected and didn't say anything after that. I said really?! That is your response?? She said well i mean, i guess I'm trying to understand what you are saying or are upset about. I thought again, for real, what is so hard to understand about that and why would you have said sorry if you didn't understand. That appeared alll the more unprofessional. Then when i said, well i mean if it's that hard to understand, I'll call corporate, maybe they will understand. She then hit more apologetic, and acknowledged what happened, said, I'll go over w my team, they should have reached out for help if a lot of people waiting etc, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, is there anything i can do to make it better? She said well next time you are in id love to help you w product. That was her offering, for my time coming out there, waiting, putting product back, and taking time to call!! I have now reached out to corporate after that handling of the call topped it off. read more

I got my hair done by Fanny here! I went from my natural dark brown to an all over bright purple. I have a ton of hair and it took 10 hours and 2 days. Despite this, I wasn't charged extra and my hair came out beautifully. Fanny was so patient and so attentive to detail and made sure I left looking the best I could! read more

Worst ulta ever! The black manager with braids was EXTREMELY rude and does not know how to talk to customers and think you are arguing with you since the customer is apparently always wrong according to her. Will be getting her name tomorrow and reporting to corporate :) PS: spoke to ulta in stone crest and they will have no problem helping me with my problem since the manager at this ulta was clearly incapable. Don't waste your time here and go there! They KNOW what customer service is. read more

The salon at Ulta was an awesome experience for our family. Maegan Cook was so helpful not only did she deliver on style she kept things fun for our daughter (4 year old) while she got a little beauty makeover (hair style, make up and pink streaks!) she'd been wanting for a while. It was her first experience and it was fantastic. Can't thank you enough Megan!! Definitely coming back again! read more

I have always been a HUGE fan of Ulta and this location has exceeded my expectations!! Their staff is absolutely wonderful. Chessie and Nicole were such a great help!! They were beyond excited to help me with just about anything! They are also under new management!! The new manager Courtney has truly turned the store around!! I highly recommend shopping here!! You will be more than pleased! read more

Last Saturday, November 16th, I decided to get an eyebrow trim by Jasmine. Jasmine cut me right below my eyebrow. I normally get my eyebrows trimmed here but that was the last time. I will never be visiting the Ulta in Waverly again, and will be getting my brows trimmed somewhere else. A warning for all the ladies out there: don't trust Jasmine with your brows! read more

Fanny was the most amazing hair stylist I've have ever she has did a great job at turning my mop hair style in to something new and amazing 100% comeing again read more

I will preface this review by saying that the rating is a reflection of this store and not Ulta as a whole. Normally I have a wonderful experience at the location in Stonecrest, but decided to give this location a try since it is more convenient to my home. I have gone a couple of times, but will not return after my last. The staff is not helpful, not friendly and when you ask them for help, it's as if you're bothering them. It's certainly a shame because it's a beautiful store in a brand new shopping center. read more

I have visited this location a few times and on almost all occasions the customer service has been sub par. I live close by and try to go during weekday afternoons to avoid waiting in line. There always seem to be staff walking around the store then only 1 person working the checkout area while a line of several ladies wait patiently. When I finally got to the register, the person waiting on me was not friendly. I had to ask her for the promotional gift offered online with my makeup purchase. She knew nothing about it, could not find it and then told me they must have already run out! I questioned how that could be as the promotion only started a day earlier. Her response was a blank, uninterested stare. I walked out of the store and purchased the same makeup online at a 20% discount. This made my Ulta shopping experience less annoying, but I Will not be returning to this location. read more

I booked a ten minute express facial with Phillys and it was heavenly! She made the experience luxurious and thorough, all for $10! I left feeling completely refreshed with super soft skin! read more

First time visiting this location. Just moved to this area so of course my daughters wanted to go and one has Birthday money to spend. I won't be back to this location. The other location in Charlotte at Ikea is super nice always helped my girls pick out the correct eyeshadow and blush. This location, unhelpful very unfriendly. Not one employee helped us, they were too busy yapping with each other. One daughter needed a price on tarte blush so she had to go hunt someone down. After oh, 15 min m, I get an employee to walk her butt over and tell me I can't have a Whole Food buggy in the store. I told her they don't have any buggies. Of course she doesn't care about that fact. I left my stroller in our mountain house so I thought, why not use the same buggy i used at Whole Fiods!? I mean really He's 1yo and a handful I cannot let him run all over the store now can I? How can a mom shop chasing a kid? And my daughter left without getting the makeup she wanted. Now I have to find another store and by that I mean a non ulta store, that sells the makeup she wanted for her Birthday. Very disappointed in this store! Money is money regardless of a buggy but this store won't get mine! And Thanks horrible lady for not allowing us to shop for my daughters 13th Birthday! read more

i've booked a hair appointment with them twice and they've cancelled on me twice the day before or the day of my appointment. my appointment that was cancelled the day before was booked for three weeks in advance- just not professional at all. read more

Today's visit left a lot to be desired. Arrived at 715 pm to get highlighter, an eyebrow pencil and mascara. I've stopped tanning for the season, and therefore, needed to be color matched. Walked in, and wasn't greeted. Couldn't find anyone available in Urban Decay and Anastasia section. What could've easily been a $100 sale ended up being $23. Grabbed a Benefit mascara and left. read more

I've ditched Sephora (even though I am a VIP Rouge) for Ulta. The lighting is better- you can see how products look in natural light. With no exception, every staff member is wonderful. I especially appreciate when a brand ambassador helps me find a good shade of foundation, even if it's out of her brand. The manager is excellent- she is able to handle multiple things at once. On a busy Saturday, the line was very long, but it was efficient, and I waited maybe three minutes to be checked out. I've done retail and restaurant jobs, so I may be a bit picky about store and places to eat. That being said, I love this Ulta, and will come back again and again. read more

Fanny was very patient kind and professional and my hair looks fantastic... thank you for spending so much time on my hair today. Fanny was scheduled to get off at 3 and she stayed 30 minutes over just to ensure that I love my new hairstyle. read more

Great salon, managers and staff are excellent and the brow bar is fantastic! They are always helpful here

Somewhat difficult to find a worker to help me out when I have questions. When I do find one they are nice and take their time though.

I purchased a hair growth topical spray in September for about $40. I used it till January, and saw no results. I don't know about you but $40 is money I don't have to waste. I tried to return it to the Waverly Ulta and was told it had been too long to return. I don't know what they expect, hair growth topical spray would take a while to work/try/see results... I left the store annoyed went to the Ulta at Stonecrest, and they returned it at pro-rated cost of about $35 with no issue.... I will not be returning to Ulta at Waverly. read more

Poorest customer service I've ever experienced. The African-American manager has a nasty tone and isn't helpful. The cashiers don't tell you your point balance unless you ask which is rude considering some people may not know how many points they've accumulated. I made a huge purchase and could've gotten $27 off with my points but I wasn't told. It's sad! Not all Ulta locations carry a varied amount of products for darker skin and the Waverly location does. However, due to the lackluster service I will choose online purchases and Sephora moving forward. read more

Every time I come into this Ulta I have bad customer service. I ask for help and they just say one minute and then walk away and then pass me while on their cell phone. This is the third time I have received bad customer service at this location. They just stand around and don't bother to even ask if you need any help or help me while someone else is busy knowing that I asked. Very lazy employees. The location in Charlotte near IKEA is the best location and I'm no longer going to this location even though it is close to my work. They don't care to help their customers and are very rude. read more

Worst customer service ever. I went in this past weekend with my mother, and I understand close to Christmas it'll be busy but being rude af is not appropriate. I asked a passing employee who was a lady in her 50s if they had any more of a palette that was missing. Another customer interrupted me also asking a question. The women turned to me putting up her hands saying "I can only take one question at a time!!" In the rudest way possible. She than turned and walked away. ???? Later when we were checking out she came back and said "you still need help?" Not at this point lady. To top it off the cashiers completely didn't care thrusting the bags at us. Won't be coming back, can easily go to Sephora. read more
