I usually order online from Ulta but a shoe company I had ordered from and needed to return offered a "happy return" at an Ulta location near me. So I took advantage of the "order online and pick up in store" option at the online site to get a fee essential cosmetics and combined both tasks! Though they do not always carry every brand I want, Ulta always has great promotions and coupons, and as a reward club member I earn points for future discounts. The Happy Return was very easy, no sealing of package or printing labels - just hand the packaged item off to a staff member at the designated spot in the front of the store and show my code from the company I'm returning from and they pack up the item and ship. I receive my refund almost instantly and Ulta gives me a coupon to use in store! Win-win! Picking up an item ordered online is also easy; there is a designated spot at the counter to do that. Even when there is a long check out line it seems to move pretty well. Shopping on the store can be a bit overwhelming; they have so many products! But every section is well labeled. I appreciate that they have a hair salon dept and Benefit brow bar. I haven't used them yet but it's good to know! Staff was helpful and pleasant. At checkout they pushed a little to get me to open a credit card but did give me a free mascara just for trying it. Though I will continue to order online, the store was nice to browse, really beautifully laid out and stocked, and a good option for pickups and returns, and to check out products. read more

THE SALON at ULTA. Elite stylist Nadine has an eye for color and can blow out with a brush! Curly girls who love "beach waves" know it's not easy finding a stylist who understands the complexities of our wiry texture. I've gone to places who "specialize" in blow outs and still left disappointed. Did they really have to use a flat iron? My new Calico color. It's more of a subdued Calico - not too noisy, doesn't scream like a cat in heat. However, I am thinking this low-key Cat might be mewing their way to something a little more intense in the coming months. If you're feeling stompy, Go For It! This review is 100 percent for Nadine and all the stylists at the Long Beach Towne Center. Everyone is cool there. POINTS. You can earn points every time you get your hair done. And that's money back. Where else can you do that? ULTA has paid for one of my blow outs and I have another "free" one coming (or I can save my dollars until Christmas and splurge on my teenager). Beauty is a business and yes, it's corporate (when you renegade beauties know how to make your own products out of oatmeal and lavender flowers haha). Been there, done that, and still do! For now, it's the world we live in. One foot in, one foot out. It's a balancing act. As the Diné say, "Walk in Beauty". Living intentionally is how we maintain balance in life. So don't worry, you're not sleep walking into Ulta Beauty. You're very well aware. A star stylist works here and you want them to keep shining. And you can feel that they want you to keep shining too. read more

The woman here have excellent customer service skills !! Very helpful, didn't just leave me sitting for no reason. read more

The stylists here are always friendly and do a great job once you're in the chair, but I've noticed they tend to run behind schedule quite often. I've even received calls letting me know they're running late or that another client added a last-minute service. While I understand things happen, it can be frustrating when you've booked an appointment for a specific time. I do appreciate their kindness and professionalism, but I hope they can improve on time management moving forward. Other than that my hair has come out great for a blowout! read more

Long Beach Town center Elite stylist Nadine is exceptional! Took a bad bad hair mess and gave me more than I could have asked for. Talked me through the steps and clarified what my expectations were. I could not have asked for a better person to help me obtain the hair I wanted. Thank you! The regional manager David understood where I was coming from and what had taken place immediately put me in touch with the Long Beach town center and store manager. Stephanie and her team was what I expected of Ulta. Thank you all for your understanding of the situation and professionalism in making sure the unfortunate situation was rectified. read more

I'm terrible with names, but I believe the associate's name was Gigi (or Gee). She was amazing! Thank you so much for your patience and for providing such quick and efficient service. It was truly appreciated. read more

The customer service here is horrible. Maybe it's the management but literally every single employee has a bad attitude and is unwilling to help you find a product or do literally anything besides stand there and talk to other employees. I just feel like if you're going to work at a business where the number one qualification should be customer service then be good at it. I also think that the employees like profile you based on how you look, I went on once with no make up on, and they like ignored me. Anyway we'd rather drive to the location at the Long Beach hanger. read more

Always a great experience. The manager is awesome, very helpful & fun to talk to. I love how when you ask for help, you get it & they know what they're talking about! I appreciate that I don't feel hawked in the store when I'm shopping. I appreciate the efforts of reminding me I have coupons. love how they make me want to work at a Ulta again. This one only though ‍. Thank you Ulta Queens & Kings for making my experience unforgettable keep shining . read more

Was ignored as usual, multiple people at the register doing nothing. No one in sight to help my wife, then Kylie appeared. She was amazing! Nice, courteous and knew her stuff. She took the time to help my wife find everything she needed. Service with a smile and genuine. Kylie made sure we both left with a smile today. I still don't like the bathroom policy for customers here but we had to stop. Not having time to drive to the Lakewood Mall. read more

Recently went to Ulta in need of a new skin tint product. I usually use NARS but I wanted to try something new. Mazzy provided great customer service helping me get matched and recommending different products. I ended up getting a skin tint from Fenty, along with a setting spray from Urban Decay that I also needed that works well in hot weather. Thank you for all your help Mazzy! read more

Came for new foundation and walked out with new tips and tricks for highlights and contouring thanks to Giovanni! He also helped me identify a foundation shade that better matched my complexion and he is so entertaining! If you're ever in the Long Beach Ulta on Carson St., ask for Giovanni! read more

The customer service was horrible! The associates just looked at me while I walked around trying to find an item. I asked the team lead Simone and she pointed and said it will be over there. Where is over there? I turned around and she wasn't even behind me to guide me.She didn't assist me at all. Pointing and saying over there is bad especially coming from a lead. Lead by example Simone if you're going to hold that title. This is why I go to Sephora and nobody's in ulta but the rude staff that's doing nothing. Maybe while they're standing around they can do some extra training on customer service. I would never recommend the Long Beach towne center location to anyone. read more

Went in to get some help picking out make up. Two associates were standing blocking an aisle and deep in conversation. I tried to go around them but they were too busy talking. Turned and went the other way. Went to the register to ask about a makeup and the looked at me like I was stupid. A very tall friendly associate told me where I could find what I was looking for. Come on Ulta. Customers first. read more

Definitely the most convenient Ulta in Long Beach. There's a huge parking lot right by it so it's so easy to get in and out. Plus it's not but any other stores so it's so convenient. Also all the employees are so nice, even the security guards! read more

Curly hair girls, Nadine at Long Beach Towne Center is your go to stylist! For years I wore my curls in a bun EVERY day because I couldn't find someone who could cut the curls right. Happened to walk in to the HB Ulta one day on a whim and made an appointment with Nadine for a Curl by Curl cut. I followed her to Long Beach. :) Give your curls some love, go see Nadine! read more

First off, i am an Ulta rewards member with a significt amout if points amd a high limit Ulta Mastercard. I stopped by this store to redeem some ponts and replenish my stock. During my visit, no one acknowledged my presence except the security guard. They didn't have the product I wanted, so I substituted with another exclusive brand and picked up a couple more items. During checkout the clerk asks if I want to redeem some points, which I do and I also had her a coupon. My purchase wasn't eligible for the purchase, which I accept. So she re-rings my order and informs me that she has to get approval? She saw my card, ID and I gave her my number. As I'm standing there, the line is getting longer and the security guard is inching closer. I'm totally incensed at this point and I tell her I'm leaving. I know kids are smashing and grabbing, but I'm a 50something year old woman driving a marked company vehicle! It may have been a misunderstanding, but it was embarrassing and a disgusting display of customer service. I will go out of my way to avoid this store in the future. read more

Horrible. I called to speak with a store representative about info for sponsoring a non-profit fundraiser. A gentleman - he wasn't so gentle, answered the phone. Initially, he asked me to hold. I agreed to hold. When he got back on the phone, I continued with my request. He advised that I contact customer service. I asked him for the number for customer service. He put me on hold again. He returned to the phone, gave me the number, said, "Thank you" and hung up while I was trying to ask a question. BTW, I am a customer of ULTA. This is different from how a store should represent itself to the community. The customer service agent at the 800 number seemed like she hates her job. She was unfriendly and not really concerned with my request. I really want a reason to like ULTA, but they give me so many reasons not to and I keep ending up at Sephora, regardless of the higher prices (lol). I do not mind paying more money for great customer service. read more

I decided to cut my hair and get some sort of hairstyle but was unsure of what to get for my hair type. i booked with Jocelyn because i saw a couple of good reviews and let me just say she did not disappoint. i walked out so happy with how my hair looked. she didn't cut off a lot of my hair and saved so much length. i was not used to having layers so she gave me a really good length, so i could get comfortable with it once my hair grows. she did some face framing and i absolutely loved how good they made me look. she's such a nice person and really knows what she's doing and the vision you have or don't like me. if you want to book with someone, she is the person to go with. read more

Unfortunately my go to hairstylist Nadine was fully booked so I had no choice but to try a new stylist. I chose Janet O. She did an ok job on the back part of my hair but horribly on the bangs. At the end of my haircut, she asked her coworker Honor M. To help her blow dry my hair. Honor M was hesitant, it was around 6pm and it was obvious that they wanted to go home. When Honor M decided to help Janet blow dry my hair she roughly and aggressively dug her brush into my scalp and pulled my hair a few times with all her force causing me pain. It was as though she was fighting with someone and pulled my hair so badly I had to tell her to stop. I caught Honor and Janet looking at each other and giggling about what Honor did to me. When I asked her to stop, Honor replied with "it's because I work with textured hair, I'll let Janet finish your hair" and smirked. I replied with "It seems like you did it on purpose". After the incident, Honor left the salon two minutes and said bye to her coworkers. I was in pain and felt very upset. Going to the hair salon is a form of self care, yet I left feeling as though I was beat up by someone, upset and in distress. I informed their supervisor. Who goes to a salon to get beat up? She pulled hair out and now I'm afraid of her damaging my hair follicles. They have lost a loyal customer. Too bad because Nadine is excellent! But BEWARE DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON! Horrible I had never experienced anything like this. I also never write reviews but I feel as though others should know what I experienced before going there and spending their money. If you want to have a nice relaxing experience meant to be for self care go elsewhere!!! read more

Shame on you Ulta. This review is not for the store, but for Ulta as a whole. Cyber Monday they had prices on sale online and then when you go to place the order it would only show the original price so I didn't place my order because it kept going back-and-forth. I called Ulta today to explain this to them and they said oh yes, we had a glitch on our website yesterday with pricing. I asked her if I could still place the order and she said yes, but only at full price!! What is that? You just admitted that you had a glitch in your system yet you're not willing to honor your prices!! Shame on you that is bad business practice!! I will not be buying from you for quite some time. You are not the only beauty supply! read more

Didn't like daisy's service, she seems upset just because I didn't want to sign up for the rewards program. Guess she's not getting commission. Also her colleague is very lazy, she didn't want to ring me up. Maybe that's why daisy had subpar service read more

It started with the manager being rude, she did not want to help me or my partner with any questions. Then it was me and my partner getting followed around the store him. It's hard to be a successful black and brown couple, people will always think you are stealing. Very disappointed because we ended up spending about $200. Regret spending my money here. read more

Mazzy was very helpful. I asked her if she was available to assist me in finding a new concealer for my dark circles and fine lines. She helped me find a new product and tested several colors to make sure I was happy with the look. She was very sweet and attentive to all of my questions. Thank you Mazzy. read more

I am a loyal customer to Ulta, however it truly is sad to see how terrible customer service has been the last few trips. What is the point of having so many associates if they all have bad attitudes and don't want to help the customers? Perhaps some customer service training... read more

This is for the two very unprofessional clerks(one being a manager) who worked Sunday September 17 right at closing time. I would like to tell you how immature and unprofessional you are and how pathetic you looked laughing at my daughter and her best friend. My daughter went to shop today and approaches your store, I'm assuming at 6:05. You were closed, the door was locked and while they didn't know the store hours, walked up and tried to open it and instead of telling them it was closed you laughed in their faces. You guys are pathetic and show no class or professionalsm. My daughter and her best friend are both 18 and have more maturity then both you grown women and they just walked away without escalating. Must be nice to be behind the glass door laughing like cowards, you guys make me sick. I hold a platinum card as well as a rewards card which I will never use at this store EVER. Mind you, both my daughter and her friend had money to spend. You're pathetic and I regret ever telling people how nice this store was. Go F yourselves! Ps . In reading the reviews, I just noticed another person experienced the same thing as my girls, looks like you guys have issues. read more

Newly opened in the new Long Beach exchange LBX center! Clean, great selection of all various makeup brands, and helpful staff. I went in for clear brow gel, however I couldn't find what I was looking for so a nice lady helped me locate it. Got what I needed and then some. They have a great selection of travel sized products that are the perfect size if you don't want to commit to the large size or not sure you'll even like it. It's a great way to try something new that is less costly. They even have a beauty station where a professional will do a "makeover" for you! I love that it is conveniently located as well. read more

My makeup appointment was made for 3:30 pm. It is now 4:26 and I'm still waiting. If I didn't need this done for a party I would have left already. Don't waste your time on this place. read more

I just want to take the time to thank MARIBEL (don't know the spelling, sorry) :) But she was so so so kind over the phone & really helped me out with all the questions i had due to the website not letting me select a store for online pick up. Thank you so much Maribel, you were so kind especially during these hard times everyone is going through. read more

I come in here frequently and I know one of the ladies. However I'm always followed around the store and it makes shopping uncomfortable. I'm standing by makeup and a lady is standing nearby pretending to look at price tags. Seriously? I buy stuff from ulta and I specifically came for a perfume they didn't have and I was going to buy something else, but they just lost business by following me around as if I'm a criminal: I wont be coming back here. read more

Came to check out the hair colors. My hair color was growing out and of course I procrastinated in maintaining my hair color. Travel time: 3 days from now. So, decided to take a stroll at Ulta. An employee stopped me and asked if I needed assistance. She mentioned I can go to the salon and request a complimentary color consultation . If I want to do it myself she will help me get the right shade or the salon will try their best to color match it for me. I chose the later, since the color will be custom made in front of me. 2 hours later. A wash & a blow dry later. The work was fabulous. The hair colorist perfectly match my top part of my hair to my bottom half of my hair. Red is a very difficult color to do, especially if I'm going to another vendor to do the maintenance if it. I was very impressed with the stylist knowledge in color. I also like the way she introduced the Redken hair products that she used on me. The hair stylist's name is: Vassana. Thank you for saving my hair. read more
