    NYX eyeshadow pallet- $20!
    Carrie G.

    I'm not sure why this store doesn't have higher ratings. There's plenty of free parking. They have a HUGE selection of products across all price points including some cheaper but awesome brands (shoutout to my favorite makeup brand NYX) that Sephora doesn't carry. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have some amazing sales (like 40% off select brands) and even an entire aisle of deeply discounted merch, They offer beauty services but I have never tried any of them. I did see a lady getting her brows waxed, I've never been in here when it's crowded and I personally HATE crowds and long lines which seems to be the standard shopping experience at Sephora in Ala Moana. Their bathrooms are also clean and spacious. Seriously, what's not to love?!

    Just had my hair highlighted by Jasmine and she was wonderful! It's very difficult to find a stylist who knows exactly what you want and does it so perfectly! I am so pleased with the outcome and will definitely be following her on social media and book my future appointments with her. HIGHLY recommend her for any hair services at Ulta Kailua!

    Love the head cashier, Angeline! Always pleasant and smiling. Take my work breaks here to talk to the staff and check out what's new!

    4.5 stars! Good thing there's no Ulta Beauty store here in Waikiki. (insert smirk face) or else.... I'd be hoarding some facial skin care routine even more! Anyhow, this store is the closest I could ever visit & goodness it is in Kailua! I'm not a makeup artist nor a beauty influencer but sure enough I know what I want & what I need In this store. But you know what's the hardest part on it? It is finding a great brand that will suit your skin. And to do that, I need to do a trial & error experiment. That is why, when I am in a beauty store nobody should bother me or bugging me to make a quick grab coz I gotta read its ingredients simultaneously reading comments online. LoL. UB-Kailua location is I think bigger than the Kapolei location. I think? Please do correct me if I'm wrong. I love how everytime I made a step inside my heart is always in glee. Too much excitement that sometimes I got disoriented on what aisle should I check first. The store is so clean & smells clean as well. Love the chic interior design. Customer service is a bit off. Two of the staffs I asked question Is a bit grouchy. Though they help me out & answer my queries I can't feel the Aloha energy from them. It is just a heavy feeling in between. But the guy in the counter on the other hand is so friendly, nice & patience! I love him. He smiled & greeted me. Easy to deal that kind of energy. Overall, I leave the this location with a happy face & kilig feeling. It's a girl thing! And besides, I got free goodies from my birthday month celebration and a promo from ulta beauty products as well. I pretty got a great haul in this location. I got my sugarbear vitamins & some of the skin care products that I loved! This will be my go-to store for some serious beauty finds. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yeeps!

    I love Ulta!! Ashley is the best!!! She helped me find the perfect hydrating and lightweight foundation, the best brow pencil, and foundation brush. I also got the Fenty contour stick. She had a lot of great tips as well. The primer she showed me was also amazing and the setting spray. My skin looked like there was a filter on!! Thank you!!!

    I'm #47 in line for Grand Opening day! 10-26-18

    Grand Opening in Kailua on October 26, 2018! I had read about it on Yelp. I heard it on the radio. I saw it in our local newspaper. This was gonna be great because the first 100 customers would get a gift! Good incentive! From the Yelp reviews, I knew that there was free covered parking by Longs Drugs and that Ulta Beauty was in the space formerly occupied by Peir 1. Okay! When I arrived, there was a line of people already. I didn't go to the front to see how far back I was because I didn't want to lose my place in line. Eventually, the store manager distributed slips of paper with numbers printed on them to count out the first 100 customers. Yay! Very organized! The program started a little before 10am. There was a speech and some live music and hula dancers, but we couldn't see since we were around the corner. We just wanted to get under the shade and into the air conditioning! Haha! The big moment arrived and the people with numbers at the back of the line moved up and got inside the store before the lower numbers. I didn't care as long as I got a gift. Each person blindly took a coupon from a big box. There was a gift card between $5 - $100 and a discount for a service at the salon. The Sales Associates squeezed with happiness everytime a customer pulled up a coupon! It was really exciting and fun! The interior of Ultra Beauty in Kailua is massive and overwhelming. Besides products for hair and skin, there are fragrances and cosmetics from every company that you can think of! They also had hair accessories, cosmetic bags, and styling implements. There's even a Salon! It took me a while to find the kawaii Korean items, but I found them! Wow...when I have more time, I will return. Maybe on October 28th because they will distribute gift cards and coupons again to the first 100 customers!

    Lani helps find the right shade of concealer
    Leah E.

    My friends mom said, "Men should pay for every date night because women pay top dollar to maintain their clothes, shoes, hair, makeup, nails, etc. etc. etc. . ." While I don't totally agree with her. . . I could spend hours AND thousands of dollars in this store. And someone better appreciate how great I look after! My friend and I entered Ulta on a whim when we were walking around Kailua town after our usual lunch date. We were greeted immediately by Lani, who had a fierce, "candy-cane" inspired makeup moment happening. I complimented her on how GORGEOUS her makeup looked and she shared that during the month of December employee's of Ulta have fun themed days that they can choose to participate in. After Lani helped my friend find the perfect concealer. I asked if she could recreate her look on me. . . While she was painting my face, my friend was commenting on how AMAZING the customer service was. She said she recently went to Sephora and she felt like the workers there were trying to avoid eye contact and no one offered to help her. This Ulta definitely hired the right staff. I couldn't envision the whole look without my eye lashes curled. Lani shared that they do not have curlers available for obvious reasons, so I decided to purchase one for $6. Lani showed me a new technique for curling my lashes. . they also had some AMAZING deals. Every day this month there's a product that is 50% off. I got a Becca Volcanic Goddess eyeshadow palette, Becca skin perfect gold lava bronzer, and the eyelash curler for $50. I wanted the NARS lipstick that Lani gave me but I decided to wait on that purchase. As an Ulta member (free) you get free gifts with your purchases and I received an Urban Decay makeup setting spray. They also offer coupons and discounts but it seems that you can't combine them with most products. I will definitely return to Ulta Kailua so say hi to my new friend Lani.

    NEW salon and SHERI is amazing!!…read more Ok, I admit... I am "that" person who goes to the very trendy salons and pays close to $400 (with tax and tip) for my hair to be done. I have been with one of Hawaii's top stylist for over 20 years and boy oh boy was it hard to switch but I did it and I am SO happy I did!! I mean come on ladies.. it's our hair!!!! We don't just trust anyone to touch it right? Tough to find a good stylist at reasonable prices. Sheri was almost half the price I was paying and I got personal service the entire time I was there. She had no other appointments being juggled around me, no pushing me to some dryer in the corner for 45 minutes while she worked on another client, no passing me off to an "assistant" while she worked on yet again another person.. Just me and her and it was great! I LOVE SHERI! She works in this cute little salon and even though I live on the West side, the drive to Kailua is well worth it! I learned Sheri has over 20 years experience doing hair in LA so she is up on all of the styles and trends that are the "in" right now. I looked great with my "beach waves" when I left. COVID reassurances: I have to say that her small studio felt super clean and sanitized. I like that it is not a huge salon with tons of people coming and going. Yes, you will have to wear a mask, yes you will have to take your temperature and fill out a small form but that is common everywhere now. Sheri will wear a mask the entire time. As I was leaving she was already sanitizing everything top to bottom for the next person. Parking: NO problem! This looks to be a house that was converted to retail space. So there are spaces right on property to park. I can not recommend her highly enough. I will for sure be back! If you have questions on colors and cuts just call her!!! Thanks again Sheri, I am so glad we met and connected!!!

    Unpleasant experience with manager…read more I went to this salon to get blonde highlights. The last time I saw Amber, she did a good job and I was happy with the result. This time, I asked for more blonde streaks or "ribbons," but the result had very little visible blonde. It looked nothing like what I requested or what I had received previously. I called to have it fixed and was told I first needed to come in for a consultation with the manager, Gizelle. I went in and Gizelle spent 20 minutes telling me that I had not communicated my request for blonde highlights correctly. She insisted on placing the blame on me, even when I reminded her that Amber had no trouble understanding my request for blonde highlights on the previous visit. The interaction felt confrontational rather than helpful. I did receive a refund, but the overall experience was frustrating and disappointing. I also noticed another review here describing an unpleasant experience with Gizelle. Based on this experience, I would be cautious--not just about the consistency of the color work, but especially how customer concerns are handled by management.

I was trying to hold out, but with the humidity and toddlers pulling on my hair, the split and damaged ends were starting to drive me crazy. I just needed a little trim to get it looking healthy again. I am a busy, working mom of 2, so the fact that this salon opens at 8am is amazing! Most places don't open till 9 or 10, right in the middle of my work day. Booking online was seamless. I tried to get there early, but there was some confusion about where it was. I called before 8, not expecting anyone to answer, but someone did and she was super nice and helpful and I was able to find my way there. I parked in front of Cinnamons and went in, and walked around. But FYI, it's actually a different building--if you are facing Cinnamons it's to the right. But plenty parking, so that was nice. Matt was so great! I wish I did more with my hair, but I pretty much either keep it all down or all up (usually up). I do like it being long, but was more concerned about the damaged ends, so I really didn't care how much was cut as long as it was healthy again. They offered coffee and water, which was so nice in the morning. Matt was really friendly and efficient and I really felt like I was being pampered. I didn't expect to--I was just trying to get an early hair cut, but I walked out like I had just had a spa day. I will definitely come back for my next hair cut next year.

It is located BEHIND the gated area of The Boardroom. You feel like you're walking into the restaurant, but it is a little area behind the outdoor seating. It took me a minute to find, I walked along the corner and my GPS kept saying I had arrived. Luckily I called and their VM had a clear description of the location. Candie was so sweet and lovely to talk to. She cut my hair just the way I wanted, and I appreciated that she was efficient. She offered to style it more to look cute, and if I had plans, I totally would, but I was just going home afterwards. She made sure to chop it all off at a clean break, so it was easy to wrap up and donate. She told me to contact her about maintaining it and that it wouldn't take long. Overall I had a really pleasant experience and I would definitely go back to Candie. Mahalo!

He is a very chill baby and sat in his bouncer the entire time. First, I was told that I could not eat my lunch inside and had to step out to eat. This was a surprise - I'm breastfeeding and literally starving all the time so this was a concern. Toward the end of the appointment, my son started crying because he had a dirty diaper. I went to change him on the floor in the waiting room area and another stylist yelled across the salon, "excuse me." I didn't realize she was talking to me. She came over and told me I couldn't change him in here but I had to change him outside to not ruin other's experience. Look, I get it. Baby poop stinks; however, I was going to take it with me and I was literally a new mom in a room full of women who judged and made my life harder instead of supporting me. I left in tears. Also, the parking spots directly in front of the establishment are designated as "employee only" instead of customer. I had to park down the street. I brought my wagon to carry my son's bouncer and received dirty looks for that too. As a woman owned business, do better.
