5 stars for Martha! I just wanted to give her a shout out. I've been using the same foundation for the past two years and I ran out the week before my graduation. I tried to order it online from NYX and they were sold out. Ulta also doesn't sell the shade that I use in store. I went to Ulta hoping I could find another foundation. Martha's color matching skills were on point because we tried a couple different brands and the first color she chose of each brand was a perfect match. Thank you Martha for making it so easy for me to find a new foundation going into my big graduation weekend. read more

Stopped by Saturday evening! I've been looking for a great red lip and an employee recommended the NYX Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick "On Fuego." Gorgeous red lip that lasted through dinner! I also needed something for my lash lift and tint, since the place I went to didn't give me after care supplies. She recommended the Real Techniques Disposable Dual-Ended Spoolies. They work amazing too, this big pack will last me 2 weeks!! I would definitely recommend this Sacramento location and would definitely re-visit! Let's bump up those stars girls! SYOY! :) read more

I was trying to shop there and I was just minding my business with my sister and a women kept following me around,I would look around and there she was, this is just so pathetic and racist.I will never go back there,I would like to shop peacefully not being followed. read more

Returns are bad based on the economy and the amount of people stealing! I returned something under $20 and I had my receipt and she asked for my ID and my credit card. I am I pop up when you ask for my number. This lady was aggressive and I am not white so .. I could not remember the credit card so she called the manager Then I found it ! She also wanted to know when it was purchased. I wanted to ask her if she needed a blood sample. It was the day before, but it wasn't simple return and I will Not buy much of anything from this company because people change their minds during Christmas and this was before Thanksgiving. read more

This is our go-to Ulta when we need something. The security and staff greet you when you enter and every time I've stopped in the staff has been attentive and always asks if we need help. On our most recent visit we were looking for specific items and the staff helped us look in multiple sections to find what we needed. It was nice to see that even with more obscure requests the staff was happy to help us figure things out and find some different options. Sometimes when we visit certain stock is low or out, but we're always able to figure it out and find alternatives. read more

I booked an appointment to style my hair. I just asked for some beach waves. Princess (my hair stylist) did a great job. I also enjoyed chatting with her. I have no negative feedback! read more

This location is a little disorganized. The store shelves were not stocked, how can you purchase air??? Or nothing. They need someone to merchandise the store to make it more pleasing to the eye. The employees are not friendly nor do they seem polite. I spent $100.00 could have spent more but I didn't like the atmosphere so I just didn't want to have to be in there more than I had to. I did find what I went in there for. It took a while because of the mess but I did it. read more

Customer service is horrible here! First of all, they tried to tell me my bday was in January! Even after showing them my ID...they still didn't want to honor my bday! (I'm not an idiot!!! I know when my bday is) Ridiculous after I spend tons of money here every month! I only come here because Sephora is far, but I think I will make the extra trip because it will be worth it! Very very unprofessional!!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE! They always try to get me to open an account and I always have to explain I use cash and don't want to open one! I am 110% that the lady that helped me (white lady) is a racist!!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE! Pay the extra money and go to SEPHORA! read more

If I could give a zero I would !!! Letter to Ulta olympia My name is Bri Ellis. I have been a customer of Ulta for over 10 years possibly longer. I shop here all the time mostly online because I'm a busy single mom and I work full-time. Yesterday it was my day off. I needed to come in to get a cologne for my son that he has been wanting. It was the Azaro the most wanted cologne in the Travel spray size. When I walked in the manager Victoria at the front desk an older lady looked me up and down and was clearly judging me, but I decided to ignore it. I had my hair in a messy bun and was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. I also had my 11 year-old daughter with me at the time. I excited to ignore her judgmental Looks and asked her if the cologne that I had put on hold the night before was still behind the counter. I told her the night before I had called to see if they had it. They didn't tell me that there was multiple different kinds of that particular scent. The lady at the front desk on the phone told me I'd be behind the counter and then I could pick it up the next day. Fast forward to yesterday Victoria looked me up and down and told me "we don't do that "we don't hold things overnight". I told her I didn't know that and I was just doing what the lady told me over the phone yesterday. I asked her where the cologne was, and she pointed to the right back of the store. She didn't ask if she could help me or see if there was someone that could show me. I walked back there just to find out that the cologne I wanted had five different sense that were all named the same thing and it was all locked up. That lady Victoria knew that everything was locked up and that she was going to need to come back there and help me anyways and still decided to not. When I went back there, a girl with multicolored hair and bangs young girl did not get her name was back there and I asked her if she could help me. She made me feel stupid for not knowing there was five different sense and I didn't know which one I needed. I kept asking her to sample them and she rolled her eyes. I kept asking for pieces of paper to sample them on and she did not want to help me at all. I finally decided to just take the only travel size they had in hopes that it's the smell I want it. I just had to get out of there. She grabbed it and told me she would bring it up to the front counter and that maybe Policy, but at the moment I felt that she was judging me and thought that I was going to steal it. I walked up to the front to pay for the cologne and my daughter's makeup bag that she wanted Victoria was the one who was up at the counter still and ran me up. I told her the girl in the cologne perfume section was very rude to me, and she ignored me and just continue to ring me up with an attitude. I left their feeling judged unwanted as a customer and I absolutely will never be back to this location. I ended up calling the store this morning since it's the next day and the girl that helped me in the cologne last night was the one that picked up the phone and did not like the fact that I was calling to complain about her. She had a major attitude and told me that everything she did was and not judgment of me and that she did her job correctly. I ended up just hanging up on her because she was so disrespectful and rude. I also called corporate and waited on hold for 27 minutes just for the phone to hang up on me. This is my last attempt to write this review for I feel that you guys need to know what kind of managers you have working at your store. Again, I will never be back to this location. read more

This ulta is larger than most and has better lighting and more products due to the larger size. My mind was blown when I came here. Staff are polite and friendly as well read more

My daughter and I booked a haircut with Coco and everything was absolutely perfect. Availability was quick and Coco was so knowledgeable, thorough, and gentle with my 7 year old.

I love this location. The workers are always sweet and ready to give helpful tips/guidance for any questions you have. Even the security guards are friendly when you walk in. Been coming here since they opened! read more

I went in for my 12 year old hair cut. I was about 8 mins late due to personal reasons. Tavone who was the hair dresser right away gave us attitude and said there isn't a late policy but couldn't do all services. Looking like she was miserable and angry. Well giving attitude said what are you trying to do? I was like never mind how can I trust you with my child's hair. Just her demeanor as she spoke to us was horrible. No service skills, and just like I was wasting her time. Considering it was slow, seemed like she has plenty of time. We had a few words, spoke to a manager, but I'm not sure if anything will be done. You can't treat people like that, she was just rude from the start. First time trying Ulta hair services never again! I take responsibility for being late but you just can't treat customers that way. Especially when I was with my three children, just say you can't politely. read more

Make that 6 times. 6 times they have some excuse for why whatever stylist they assign me to can't do my appointment the day of.

I was excited to have my make up done at Ulta before a party I was going to. The manager assured me it was an experienced make up artist. I came out looking like a clown/drag queen The appointment was also rushed because she was triple booked. They still charged me $80 after I said it was terrible. Poor management and the girl was obviously not experienced. Very unhappy read more

I went in to pick up an online order, one that I had already paid for. I forgot my ID at home but had a picture of my ID on my phone which the clerk was not even willing to look at. She just refused to help me or give me other options outside of going home to get my physical ID. I mean we pay with Apple Pay and an ID is not required when you're taking payment. But my issue was not with the policy, it was with the interaction. When I walked up she did not acknowledge me and was short with me when she did interact with me. This is a customer service job, you should have customer service skills. It would be nice to have a positive interaction with the clerks at Ulta. read more

Not sure why this place only has 2.5 stars. I've not had a bad experience here. The prices are kind of high - I get most of my hair and makeup products via Amazon AND...my review is about the service I received from the Brow Bar from Ms. Maggie. Maggie is a superstar! This was the first time I had facial waxing, and she did such a terrific job. Hardly felt a thing, and I am very pleased with the results of my lip chin and brow waxing. Maggie has great energy. She is professional, friendly, and very sweet. I have made an appointment for my next visit. Keep up the good work, Maggie! read more

I love stopping by at this Ulta after work and today I met very sweet girl Fabby. I hope I got her name right. She was super helpful and polite. She knew exactly what I was looking for. I think I might found my new favorite perfume today. Amazing customer service A++ read more

I love ulta and their options!!! You can really find what you need and the people on the floor can help direct and assist you

My friend/esthetician Jasmine Castro at this location by far is the best at what she does! She helps you with your skins concerns and not only that she recommends what type of service you need to help you out! I received a facial and chemical peel from her and let me tell you, she's very great at it! She is a vibe for sure! Definitely go to her if you need help with your skin health! read more

JASMINE CASTRO Hi! I recently received a facial here at Ulta and Jass was amazing!!! She's friendly, compassionate about her job, and has given me great advice on how to care for my dry-ass, dehydrated skin! She's very knowledgeable about the products that she is using. One time I came in and Jasmine knew how my skin was like, I had a terrible breakout and my skin was so dry. It hurts to the touch, sure I could've seek medical advice but I thought I'll opt for a professional esty! I'm glad I did!! I have recommend her to friends and families! We all enjoy working with Jasssss read more

Came in with my boyfriend to get his first facial. Jasmine did an amazing job explaining everything she was applying and even got him started on a good and affordable skin care routine. Thank you Jasmine! read more

UPDATE: Ernestine apparently thought my review was funny (see images). We are in difficult times right now and health should be everyone's top priority. Me being concerned for my elderly relatives is in no way shape or form funny. Why are people like this in retail?! I'm absolutely appalled. read more

Worst customer service and management you can expect. Manger and an employee were discussing a recipe when lot of people in the line and lot of people waiting to get help . I went and ask for help , she said she will be there . She didn't come to help until she finished her recipe explanation to the other employee . read more

Worst Ulta location ever. Very rude and unprofessional managers. It's shocking how poorly they treated me as a customer. The double charged me for an item ($10 each)...but I'm too jaded to return to get the credit owed. Also the cashier double charged my cc for the total amount, over $250. After several days a credit was applied...but the managers argued with me about it, in front of everyone...after making me wait in line 20 mins! I even showed them my bank transactions on my app. Horrible experience. They give really bad product advice too...twice I've been sold the completely wrong colors and foundation types for my skin. Despite the fact I spent $45, I'm not going back to exchange it...due to the rude customer service, enforced by their managers, here. Time to go back to Nordstrom and Sephora...DO NOT SHOP AT THIS LOCATION. read more

I gave as a gift a makeup lesson for my best friend for Christmas in their beauty salon. She went to the appt wanting to spend a couple hundred dollars on new makeup after being taught how to use it on her facial features. The young woman who gave her this "lesson" clearly didn't understand what this appt. was about. My friend has hooded eyes and the final result made her look horrible. There was no explanation on how to use the makeup with prompts from my friend reminding the technician that this was a lesson. No blush, no lips, and her eyes came out looking like she had two puffy black eyes. I was so disappointed as I was so excited to give this as a present to her. I definitely would not recommend having makeup lessons there. Customer service is amazing, but teaching someone how to apply makeup properly needs some work! read more

I don't come to this location often, because of distance. I'm closer to both the Arden Mall and Town & Country locations. I came in for my appointment today with my Benefit Brow gal pal, Tyra!! She's the best!! Always fun to talk to and has the magic to make my eyebrows look their best. Every time. My eyebrows are thick and have a crazy shape, that she manages to figure out how to handle. I trust no one else with my brows at this point. LOL. Plus, Tyra is very knowledgeable in all things makeup, skincare, and general questions in finding products in the store. I followed her from the Town & Country location. That's how much I appreciate her service! If you need a pro for your eyebrows, go see Tyra!! You won't regret it!! About this location: One of the bigger stores in Sacramento and have great lighting. The staff are usually friendly and helpful. The shelves stay well stocked, making it so easy to find what I need in one trip (compared to another location that seems to have near empty shelves every time I visit.... I shall leave that store nameless) This Ulta is located in the same parking lot as Target, Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, Panera Bread, and a bunch of other stores. It can get chaotic finding parking depending on what time of the day and what day you come to shop. But, you will find a spot. Be prepared to park in a further back spot (great for getting closer to my daily step goal!). Overall, I don't mind the drive to this location for all my beauty needs. read more

Ulta is my favorite all around beauty shop. It is pretty dangerous for a gal to be let loose here. Ulta has a mix of drugstore makeup brands (NYX, Covergirl) to high end makeup including perfumes (Lancôme, Urban Decay), and same with cleanser/skincare/lotions (Neutrogena, Aveeno, La Roche Posay, Murad, Dermologicia ). They carry salon quality hair care products: shampoos, conditioners, and styling products (Sebastian, Paul Mitchell, Living Proof). Plus they have a hair salon with a full service menu. Benefit makeup counter has a brow bar. Dermologicia provides facial. Also they have a ginormous selection of hair dryers, hot irons, curling irons, and styling hair brushes priced from the affordable to the eye popping double take. To boot, these products are on display here so you can actually handle them. Love that concept. I tested a bunch of hairdryers, love the fact that they were actually powered on. Recently I had to replace a hairdryer, I settled on an Italian made hair dryer with a Ferrari designed engine here. No lie. I chose it because it was lightweight, powerful engine for quicker dry time, easy to grasp and good ratings based on online reviews. For higher price point items, keep an eye out for their 20% off coupon. I have been patronizing this place since they first opened. The staff has come and gone, but overall staff here are friendly and try their best to assist the customers. They shout out to greet you right away as you walk in. I have always been taken care of. But you gotta ask, they don't have enough staff to roam the store. Yes, the checkout lines can take awhile to get through depending on staffing levels which has improved lately. read more

Ulta is the "Ulta"mate in all that is beauty. This is my fun place, my go-to place, my i can find it here place. This is the place to find the latest in fragrances, and not have to run screaming like you might in a department store when the perfume ladies come after you like they are spraying a swarm of flying insects. Feeling like you have a hair or two out of place? They have hair products galore. You can style, blow, curl, your tresses with the huge variety of products. The selection of blow dryers, curling irons, and other fun tools, will either keep you coming back, or you'll just want them all. Let the Ulta ladies "shadow" you with the current in eye shadows. I went in with a well known brand of an eye shadow that had been discontinued by the company, and the Ulta sales woman spent time trying to help me find something that would match the color. She walked me through the various brands, colors, finishes, until we found a good match. Crisis averted! I like that I can browse through the entire store, and I don't have sales associates asking me every two minutes if I need help, but at the same time, if I need help, its fairly easy to find someone to help me. The clerks are all knowledgable, and are happy to help find the answer if they don't know. You'll find that Ulta offers different promotions throughout the month, and often they are some of the coolest "gift items" that I have received. My latest being a lovely overnight bag, that is simply gorgeous. The sales associates have been gracious enough to even let me know what the promotions are, so I can take advantage of them if I desire to. Ulta also carries some fun goodies, like animal face masks, a huge variety in nail polishes, and even some really nice makeup brushes. You'll find some great deals, and its truly a place that you will find almost any beauty product that youre looking for. Even small items like polish remover, nail files, and those great face blotting papers. The service is great, parking is easy, and chances are you will find everything on your must have list! Its even a great places for finding gifts. They even have a beauty bar if youre interested in brow waxing, hair styling, and more. Add this to your places to shop list! read more

Did a pick up order at the front and came in before I got the email that my order was ready which I was then sent away and told my order wouldn't be fulfilled for another 20 mins. As soon as I pull out I get the email so I park again and go back in to get helped by the same person who smirks as she sees me knowing that it was my order that was just finished. She then came to the front to meet me and was not helpful or useful or sympathizing with me after I told her I just wanted my ONE item since I'm out of town and needed an item before my dinner reservation. Just stared at me with a blank face while I was struggling to get my email to work for the scan code. Also forgot to mention she didn't even greet me when I came in, proceeded to talk and checkout her coworkers order and let her coworker push in front of me and then goes "do you have an order?" Like hello?? This was feb 14, 2020 at 5:15pm. Didn't get her name. read more

I went in to the store wanting to buy a perfume. I had 2 in mind that I found from the inserts that come in the Ulta advertisement that you get in the mail. Before spending $90+ on a perfume I wanted to smell the testers since they are obviously stronger than the little inserts. They had neither one, I asked an associate and still was unable to help me. Basically, Ulta you lost an easy sale on an expensive perfume read more

I've been going to Ulta for the past few years to have my hair colored. They have amazing hair products, the color lasts a long time. I love following it up with a "gloss". My only negative, don't get attached to a hair dresser. As many times as I have gone to Ulta for their terrific hair color, I've had new stylists. Ulta must be bad to work for or there is some other thing going on with hair dressers that they don't stay long at Ulta. But color and trim don't take a stylist with exceptional skills. For basic services Ulta is terrific and highly recommended. You will also need to search around using their website for available appointments. You certainly cannot walk in. Because stylists come and go, sometimes they just don't have a stylist to color hair. For example I've been going to Woodland the past year; the same lady did my hair 3 times in a row. I called last week and she was gone and they have zero people to work in the salon, so no appointments. What company runs a portion of their business like this? Very disappointing. I've had to look around on their website to book an appt over in Arden. read more

I've probably said this numerous times before but I'm not a girly girl. I'm a girl, but I don't know how to do the whole makeup and do my hair routine. I'm a colored/flavored chapstick girl with a messy bun. That's my go to all day everyday. I'm surprised I get waxed and shave my legs and armpits with how ungirly girl I am. :) Anyway, I decided to come into the store because I had heard about a product that would assist with my strawberry legs. I've suffered from strawberry legs for so long (longer than I care to remember) that I was sick and tired of it and wanted to try this new product. I get to the store and search around to see if they have it in stock and to my surprise, they had most of the products. I was thrilled, overly thrilled, that I filled up my basket and went to the register and paid for my goods. I couldn't wait to try my products so I used them right when I got home and the next few days after. Well, to my dismay, I ended up being highly allergic to the products. I ended up with hives all over my legs. It was horrible. I read up on the return policy of the store and went back and return what I used and what I didn't use. I was within the return period and I got my money back. The workers asked why I was returning the products and I mentioned that I ended up with hives. I waited a few days to make sure it was the product and not just a fluke and sure enough it was the product. One of the workers, told me that it happened to her and another friend so she did the same thing and returned the products. Anyway, that same worker told me about another product that would be better suited to my skin especially since I have sensitive skin. The same return policy would apply since I was buying a new product and trying it to see if I was allergic to it. If I wasn't satisfied with it, I could always return it for a full refund as long as I was within the allotted days. The products here are amazing, when I'm not allergic to them and when they have them in stock. If you aren't sure of something, ask. The workers are more than willing to assist you. This place is more of hands off place, or at least that's the feeling I get whenever I walk in here, but if you need help, they will help you. They don't want to be following you everywhere and they don't want to take away from your shopping experience either. When I need girly products, which isn't often, I come in here. If I have a question or need some assistance, I ask for it. The workers here have always been great and it's always been a pleasant experience. Until next time... read more

You guys seriously don't deserve a star. I only come to this location bc it's close to home & have only ever experienced your Store pick ups but that alone is such a crappy experience that I refuse to shop & look around. I'm honestly Not sure who's to blame... the company or the employees that are hired, they are almost always cold & snobbish (Not just this location but a few other Ulta's in Sac). They seriously need customer service training monthly, actually that was being too generous... you guys need it daily, just like how we are reminded to wear a mask . Since Ulta doesn't offer any effective training here's 2 freebies that can change your world in retail as well as your life: 1. Greet customers when they walk in. Ex: 1.) Hello, Welcome to Ulta 2.) Hi, Welcome to Ulta 3.) Welcome to Ulta (Smile or fake one) 2. When a customer says "thank you" even after you failed to say it first follow up with a "You're welcome". Ex: Customer: Thank you Ulta employee (Options): 1.) You're welcome 2.) You as well, thank you for shopping at Ulta 3.) Have a great day & stay safe *** Ulta team if you decide to respond back to my comment, please... don't waste your time on me. Instead use that time to adequately share, reflect & review w/yourself & you're staff. I've read your responses to other reviewers and you don't even apologize properly nor has anything changed, your comments are empty promises considering that you're still receiving negative reviews. read more

If I could give a zero I would! I understand that people steal however for this to happen at more than one Ulta location and at this particular Ulta days apart is ridiculous. Saturday a friend and I went to this location I had a pick up order and decided to look around first. We were followed literally by multiple workers around the entire store. To make sure I wasn't seeing thing I went to the back of the store and BAM here comes a worker circling. It didn't stop until my friend started to become vocal. Then there's tonight literally 30minutes ago I walk in wait at pickup the lady looks at me no "Hello" just turns back around. I decided to buy my perfume I've been wanting since she was occupied. As soon as I started walking toward fragrance the security guard starts walking toward me and one worker who was on the other side of the store comes rushing to ask "can I help you with something?" I said no thank you she ask 3 more times. People of color know the exact "Can I help you?" I'm talking about. I repeatedly said "No thank you." Then I went to register and the clerk insinuated I couldn't afford the perfume. The insult of it all. To make matters worse this is not the only location I've had issue with the Marconi Location is no angel. I've heard multiple people with stories. That resulted in me calling Corporate just to get no resolution and the manager I was complaining about calling me pretending to be a district manager. I say all this to say it is obviously a training issue. read more

Great customer service By Faby. Was easy to find right products with her help. Highly recommend her.
