My wife and I came in looking for perfume for her and skin products for me. I'm not familiar with anything other than bar soap and shampoo, that is about the extent. We came in the store and met Adam. Besides being very friendly, he was a plethora of knowledge. He listened to my questions and made some really good suggestions with explanations so that a layman like myself could understand. I felt very comfortable venturing in to my new world of skincare. I should add that I'm fully immersed in a mid-life crisis and am trying to improve my appearance. Adam really helped. My wife wanted some Tiffany perfume, Adam was able to help with that as well and shared what they had to offer. To simplify, we felt like long time customers. He understood our needs and made the best suggestions. He also took a soft approach and offered various options. 2 weeks after our first visit we returned and again Adam greeted us and gave us his first class treatment. I was happy to share that I am really happy with the products I purchased on his suggestion and both my wife and I noticed improvements in my complexion. Today Adam helped with my wife's skin concerns and we left confident that we were guided in the right direction. So you know how we feel about Adam, 5 stars. As for the store, it has something for everyone. The selection and inventory are excellent and the collective knowledge is huge. We are very impressed and quite happy we visited the store and met Adam. read more

Gisele is so beautiful and kind. Shes very helpful and always happy to do so! She took her time to recommend and explain some products to me

I cannot recommend Catherine enough. Her talent with color is exceptional--beautifully blended, dimensional, and always exactly what I'm hoping for (often better). She truly listen, makes thoughtful recommendations, and consistently deliver results that look natural and elevated. On top of that, she has an engaging, warm personality that makes every appointment enjoyable. You leave not only loving your hair, but feeling relaxed and confident. If you're looking for someone who is both highly skilled and a joy to spend time with, this is your stylist. read more

My friend and I went into the store and we desperately needed some makeup help. Juliette was so amazing and incredible, she gave us the best customer service experience that we ever had. she made us feel so comfortable !! will 100% comeback and purposely look for her, so she can help us again !! she's the perfect image of excellent customer service. read more

The store was well stocked, clean, organized, and the employees were respectful. I appreciated. That items were easy to find, and the employees were knowledgeable. read more

I would not recommend this store location. Came in to buy a product, the woman at the register does not greet me upon coming up to the register. She proceeds to ignore me and speak to the girl next to her in an alternate conversation which came across as rude. She asks if I have an account, I said yes and gave her my phone number and she says, "nope, nothing comes up." I've shopped at Ulta for over a decade. So I asked if she wanted my email. She sighed and said, "Ok" as though I'm bothering her. Nothing comes up (apparently.) "Nope, nothing." She is being extremely unhelpful and rude. I'm positive I have an account, but allow her to proceed to ring me up. She didn't ask if I wanted to sign up - and every time I'm at a place like this they seem to do everything they can to sign people up for an account. So I ask her - "Can I sign up?" Again, she acts annoyed and has me write down my information and questions why I'm not giving an address. I said I move every year, I'm not providing one. She rolls her eyes. Long story short, I leave and look up my account outside online and yes I do have one. I go back in the store because I want the points, and the girl who helped me is on her way to clocking out. Ok, so this explains her attitude but as a person working in customer service, it doesn't make it right! She tries to tell the other cashier girl that she made me a new account. I told her that I have an account already and it's not "new." At this point, the original girl stops making eye contact with me. I said that I believe she put in my phone number incorrectly at the beginning of the interaction, which is why "nothing" came up. After 15 mins the manager was able to put the points on my account. To be frank, if the first girl hadn't been so rude, I would have let it go, but she did not display professionalism, kindness, or helpfulness, and that is not a way to treat a customer. She needs some training in customer service or needs to leave the job. I will not be returning to this store. Which is unfortunate as I was interested in the hair services in the back (that girl was actually very helpful) but I can't trust that I'll receive positive interactions, and I'd rather not risk it. Stick to Sephora. read more

Maira the sales gal was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Please hire more like her. I will return specifically because of her. Thanks for keeping all the current up to date products available too read more

I had my first hair gloss appt with Luanne on 8/14/25, all I can say AMAZING! Luanne listened to my needs and wants and delivered a perfect brunette gloss. I loved it so much that I even scheduled another appt with Luanne to do my highlights, I can't wait to see Luanne work her magic in a couple of weeks!! P.S. Luanne don't forget to call me if you have a cancellation. read more

Came in with 2 products in mind and left with more than anticipated. Ulta can be overwhelming just by the sheer amount of products they have. Seconds after walking in I forgot what I was there for and distracted by things I don't need. Service was friendly and I was asked by multiple employees throughout the store if I needed any help. Things were fairly well stocked and organized considering I came to visit a few days after Christmas. One suggestion would be to move back some of the end caps that are located right next to the checkout line because I was trying to look at the products located in that area and was constantly in someones way as they were either confused if I was in line or asking to pass me to access the line. When it came to checkout the employee that was helping me asked if I wanted to use my 300 pts, however, I wanted to know if/when they expired. She initially told me that she doesn't believe they expire but she asked another employee who showed her that they will be expiring on 31 Dec of this year. I think that all employees should let customers know how many pts they have at each checkout and warn them if they are expiring. read more

Customer service was bad. I ended up throwing away the hair product I bought. The salesperson was not helpful at all.

This is for the Salon. My stylists was late which put her in a rush. I was talked into a conditioner product that was left on my hair too long alongside w/some hair color for my roots. She got busy with something else & when it was time to wash out my products lots of my hair came out. Also my highlights were now gone as the root color completely covered them. She said my hair was falling out due to medication but I am not on medication. She said my hair grew out that's why my highlights were gone. But I walked in with all my hair & highlights. I left not feeling confident or relaxed. Won't ever go back again. read more

This is for hair services only. You definitely get what you pay for. I came here in the evening to get a hair cut because i desperately needed it since my normal hair dresser doesn't work after 5 and my new schedule wouldn't work with hers. I came here and Stephanie was the girl who cut my hair. She was real nice, but after a few days my friend noticed she cut my hair in the back super short, it almost looked like a bald spot. Some time has passed and I decided to post a review because I put it up my hair up in a bun tonight and immediately noticed what my friend was talking about. read more

Great customer service. Everytime I go in there I get the help I need and not there for ever. Also they don't push products on you

I keep seeing Catherine for my hair services, I am so glad she still works there! I would also like to mention that everyone I have ever interacted with at ULTA Sand City (cashiers, sales associates, receptionists at the salon etc) have been nothing but friendly and courteous. I am really sorry some people have had unpleasant experiences at this location, because this is definitely not my impression. read more

I had a disastrous experience on Sunday and after 2 hours with the online person I finally gave up. My local store was closed so I called Monday morning and explained my situation. Sara was beyond helpful! I can't even thank her enough. She was so kind and understanding. If we had more people like her in retail...heck just in general, the world would be a much better place. Thank you again Sara... read more

I have wanted to give this Ulta the benefit of the doubt for a while, because the store is beautiful and the location is great. However I have had nothing but bad experiences there. When you call the salon they almost never answer. My last cut and color was double booked and so they did kind of rush job on my hair, which did not turn out well. On top of all that though, I was extremely dissatisfied with their customer service recently. I had to return a couple products I had paid for with a credit card and a gift card. They issued the refund to the credit card as well as the gift card that I threw away because it was empty. Why would anyone send a refund to a card that no longer exists instead of issuing a different gift card!? When I told the cashier I had thrown it away, everyone from the manager and their corporate customer service basically said I was out of luck and there was nothing they could do. Completely inept, if you ask me. I will be taking my business to other companies and locations in the future, and I hope you do too. read more

Had the pleasure of having Cat at Ulta Salon work her magic on my hair for my wedding. I came in with severely damaged locks, but left flaunting a stunning mane of radiant purple! She has an undeniable talent and an exceptional touch. If you're considering a transformation or simply need someone you can trust with your tresses, Cat is your go-to. She's literally the best! Highly recommend! read more

Bianca did my hair cut and also did my hair blowout style. She made it sooo beautiful Definitely recommend her!

I recently purchased the wrong type of Chanel cologne by mistake and Leilani was very helpful with getting me the correct one on order. The staff was very helpful, I just wish they had more in stock read more

One of the best places to shop for make up. The line was nice and smooth and customer service was great as well definitely check out the stuff that is on clearance. read more

I got some great advice on concealer from one of the associates. She matched a concealer perfectly to my skin-tone that blends in perfectly and makes it flawless, just the thing I was looking for. I believe her name was Leilani. I received the most helpful tips and tricks from as a makeup beginner. super sweet and funny. I will come back again and buy more products. read more

I live locally, came in to buy my wife a gift for Christmas. I'd like to preface that this was shortly after opening and the store was not very busy. The first of two people I interacted with, her name is Leilani.. this message is directly to this young lady and anyone in management directly responsible for her, after she yelled good morning at me halfway across the store followed me until she could verify what I had come in searching for. Part of me appreciated her help after the half ass greeting but then she disappeared, At which point I encountered a young man who was very helpful with assisting me with what I was so ignorant about that I came in search of. Somehow I ran in Leilani back at the checkout counter and I witnessed her be rude to an autistic man who came in looking for a gift for his sister, she was dismissive, didn't say thank you or make eye contact but was overly direct about how a sale is final unless we (because she was checking us both out simultaneously at two registers) gave her our phone numbers. Handed me my receipt without any eye contact or with a thank you. This young lady seems to have been trained in a manner where being efficient yet rude is a better approach at the retail service industry than the young man who was empathetic and helpful with the perfumes. Anyway, I wish this young girl a little more training while those who manage over her probably couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag letting someone like Leilani on their sales floor treating people like TSA read more

Ulta and Fabiola saved my life. We have a wedding today in two hours and they were able to put on lashes for me at the last minute. We are four hours from home so I was thrilled they could fit me in!! I really appreciate how wonderful they were! Thank you Ulta and Fabiola! read more

I have never had an issue shopping at this location but, today was one of the worst experiences I've received in a very long time. I don't know what's going on in her personal life but it is reflecting her customer service. (MAYRA) I had first approached her asking her for a recommendation on a face powder and her energy was so negative it almost seem as if she did not want to be there. After, I went to go look for it myself, she rang me up at the register extremely rude with a sassy attitude. Did not ask if I found everything I needed or how our day was going. Mind me! I'm Latina but I don't have a nasty attitude when it comes down to work. I hope her manager can help her with appropriate customer service training. read more

Staff at Ulta are pleasant and helpful. It's so refreshing to go into a place like this and find the type of outstanding customer service that they provide. Especially because of the vast choices and product lines that one has to sift through (a good thing) and make decisions on. The time that they take in offering their guidance and answers really goes a long way. Note: I recently became a "newbie" after finding out Ulta finally started carrying my skincare products. Now hopefully, no or less trips to that "finer department store" at Del Monte shopping Ctr., where I always had to hunt for someone in the cosmetic area for assistance--and I'm now paying less!! Thanks again, Ulta! read more

Made an appointment online. The lady I booked it with said she cant do it because she has back to back appointments. She said another hairdresser would do it when shes done with her client. So we waited 45 minutes and that lady said no she cant do it. Thank you for ruining my daughters day. read more

last year , i was able to get help by Leilani and she was able to help me to find what cologne smelt best on me and her customer service skills were amazing ! read more

My first to booked appointment. They canceled on the day of check in and said hairstylist is not here we have to reschedule and never did.

They have employees that literally can't even look at you in the eyes when you are asking them a question. They are just feeding off the company, they just have a training session with everyone there. Will be reaching out to Corp. read more

Ulta Beauty - The truth. All true. They should fire their employees as they don't even want to help anyone. Just feeding off the company. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Sand City, California

So I used to live ulta, but recently I had a problem that they are not gonna help with at all. I purchased online for the first time and I received my order yesterday. I had 11 items that I was supposed to receive. I got a big box so I was excited to open it and check out the items I bought, but when I opened it at first I laughed because all that was in there was the free robe. I called them and email them to let them know that I only received 1 item even though the invoice said everything was there I was disappointed when they said they couldn't do anything and that's how I lost $160 worth of stuff. THANKS FOR NITHING ULTA read more

Adrianna (sp?) was such a great help! She listened to me ramble and then made great suggestions for products since they didn't have the exact brands I was looking for. I always have a good time at Ulta, but this was the best service ever. read more

I was greeted at the door and that's the last time I heard from the help there. How many lines of eyeliner can you put on your wrist before someone asks if you'd like some help? I can't count that high. Shelves were not stocked well and the women on the floor were more concerned about their products than noticing 8 women trying to find what they needed. I mentioned my observations to the cashier and all she could say was sorry. Ugh. Not again. read more

If you are looking for a 100% personalized experience, visit this Salon at Ulta. I have been seeing Catherine for my hair and Hailey for facials and have never felt so cared for before! The hair - not only does Catherine listen to exactly what I want, she must keep great notes because my hair color always comes out perfect, exactly as I asked. I also get endless compliments on my color! The facial - Hailey is a magician. I'm convinced she is actually made of magic. I have had issues with my skin my whole life, and she personalizes every single part of my facial for me and my skin type. Nothing is cookie cutter. I am pregnant and she took the time to research every single product she planned to use to ensure it was safe!! For the first time in my whole life I am looking in the mirror and feeling confident about my skin, something I am endlessly grateful for. Additionally, everyone there is just super nice and welcoming, every stylist has a personal relationship with their clients, it's like visiting old friends every appointment. Adding these appointments to my self care routine has been the best decision ever. read more

I scheduled a hair appointment via the Ulta app and received multiple text reminder messages confirming my appointment. When I showed up for my appointment yesterday the salon manager said I was not on the schedule. After showing the manager the texts on my phone, it became apparent that my appointment had been canceled on their end. To make matters worse, when the stylist returned from lunch her response to the situation was to shrug her shoulders and say, " Sorry?" and proceed to take the other client. read more

Best salon I've ever been to and best results! I got highlights done by Ricky and I love it! All the stylists are phenomenal. I found my go to place to get my hair done. It was worth every penny read more

Careful when you book online. Booked an appointment and received confirmation text. Went to appointment and a person was having their hair still- no big deal. Then asked I an associate if i needed to checking first. They looked at the system and the hair dresser said "ok no. We don't have time to do this." read more

I highly recommend The Ulta Salon at Sand City if you're looking for a new hairstylist or are new to Monterey County. Alecia has been cutting my hair for nearly one year. She is talented. She is consistent. She is a good listener. And she is able to implement any desired changes easily. She is easy to talk with, sweet as pie and a dynamite employee. It's a nice feeling to trust your hairstylist. It's a feeling I've never completely felt before. Until Now. I have no doubt that I (you) will leave with better hair than when I (you) arrived. read more

What a beautiful new store! They have the largest selection of irons and blow dryers around. I got a crimping iron there, some makeup, hair spray, new brush, clips...some things I have never seen before. Today is the "soft opening" and I received 20% off! So I bought a new flat iron too! Is there a beauty product they don't have here? If you need ethnic hair products/for this hard to manage hair, there is a lack of them there. I need them. They only have high end ethnic hair products. I guess I will still have to go to Sally for those. I can't deduct a star for this though. There are hundreds and hundreds of hair products there, and I'm sure I could find something if I try hard enough through trail and error. The staff was nice and friendly, and I didn't even realize there is a salon in there. If you sign up for the beauty club card you get a free eyebrow waxing on your birthday. Cool! read more

GO SEE ATHENA FOR COLOR CORRECTION OR BALAYAGE. SHE IS THE BEST. Prices are silly because the artist only gets a percentage of the charges. I'd pay less for the same thing to go somewhere in town but I found someone who isn't ruining my hair and I'm not about to leave now. She is the sweetest, nicest girl and she fixed my hair when it was totally and completely ruined by the other girl. If you make an appointment for highlights, color or balayage, ATHENA IS IT. read more

i needed a haircut asap so i chose ulta since i've been there a few times.. let me just say the girl who cut my hair did not know what she was doing. I asked for a V cut and the girl totally botched my hair. I knew something wasn't right when she spent only about 20 mins actually cutting my hair and i have A LOT of hair. i was there for a total of an hour and that time included her washing my hair, cutting my hair, blow drying it, and straightening it. all in one hour. usually a hair cut is about 90 mins minimum for me. when we finished i thought it was fine i couldn't tell anything was wrong until i got home and fixed/parted my hair the way i normally do. it was super choppy and some hairs were way longer than others. i had to go to another salon to get my hair fixed!! i don't want to put the girl's name but it was one of the $40 priced stylists. i'm including the picture that the stylist who fixed my hair took to show messed up it really was. be careful choosing your stylists at ulta. read more
