Follow me @theblackgirlatleisure for more lifestyle, beauty and experience reviews!…read more Trying a new salon is always a nerve wrecking experience. I've gone to salons with stylists that judged me on the state of my hair health and didn't do much educating at all. When I went to Ulta I had such a completely different experience from start to finish. Customer service: 10/10 When I called ahead to see if there was anyone who was educated on natural kinky coily hair, the stylist who answered (Samantha) was very patient and helpful. She walked me through the services and what she thought could be a good fit. When I got to the salon her great service continued. She had a very welcoming demeanor. Skillset: 10/10 I don't think I've ever had such a gentle hair appointment and on top of that still effective. Samantha is a master stylist at this location and that showed! I loved the way she detangled my hair at the bowl which cut down on detangling in the chair. She even worked the products into my hair so well, I've never felt my hair so soft EVER. She was very gentle with blow drying my hair and not having the dryer up too high. Education: 10/10 Samantha also walked me through a few products that could help with the dryness in my hair and stiffness that I have after blow drying my hair. She recommended a hair treatment and hair balm from sacred in addition to an Amika heat protectant (3 of which I will be buying!). She even recommended ways to retain length/avoid damage for my hair type. I would definitely recommend this location and Samantha! I can't wait to go back for my next trim. I added a before and after of my trim. I decided to not let go as much length as I should because I opted to continue coming back and doing it gradually.

Beware of the store credit card scam!! The cashier Brindy asked if I wanted to open a store credit…read morecard and I said "no" and she proceeds to ask for ID for my transaction. Why? She claimed that information was missing from my rewards account. Next, I noticed on the screen that she is attempting to apply for the credit card anyway. I reiterated that I said no and she asked if I want the 20%. Finally, I said no again and she rudely said to press cancel for the credit card. This behavior needs to stop and it's unprofessional. Ulta Beauty needs to do better and treat customers with respect and dignity.

What disappointed me most was the customer service. No one asked if I needed help, even though I saw two employees just standing around. I finally had to ask where I could find the foundation I was looking for. A young lady pointed me in the right direction but quickly walked away without even asking if I needed anything else. I didn't even bother calling her back because it was obvious she didn't care. I honestly should have just walked out and gone to the Scarsdale location instead. Never again.

I learned alot about skin care a little tips about makeup application. I actually had and awesome experience. I wanted to do it for a while and finally got it done. I don't like to feel pressure into anything and she did not make me feel like I had to buy the products if I didn't want it but she made me good recommendations. And the products i did buy she checked me out right after my make up session so no waiting in line. The store itself is always busy but overall very friendly and helpful staff

Okay, I went here to get a chemical peel that I found on groupon. I've had chemical peels before so…read moreI'm aware of what I'm getting myself into. I wanted a nice radiant glow which I felt could have been better, but was told afterwards that my skin looked more even. Fine, that's why they got two stars instead of one. What I found odd from the beginning was that no one wanted to consult with me about the chemical peel. Luckily I already knew like I've already mentioned. The manager who was the only one there barely talked to me and even left me alone with the peel on to go back to the front of the store to help someone else! What if I had a bad reaction? She shouldn't have done that and not to mention I had to wait for her while she helped someone else even though I had an appointment. It was as if because I had a groupon I wasn't priority to her. My chemical peel was at most 10minutes long. She cleaned my face, applied the peel and washed it off. No cream afterwards, and no extractions even with her commenting on my problem areas. She couldn't go ahead to do that even if it wasn't apart of the peel? I believe the groupon mentions that you get a hydrating cream after. Too bad I didn't speak up. I've had far better experiences that I shared with friends and family, but this one I would never ever go back to. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR ENERGY HERE!

We were helped by Sam, who couldn't have been more kind and helpful. I ended up purchasing a nice hand cream gift set from Crabtree and Evelyn. Sam put lots of samples in my bag with the set. It's a very nice shop with lots of wonderful skincare products. We'll be back. Note that there is lots of street parking in the vicinity - the pay lot is not the most economical option.

I had a question regarding two of their products. An associate and store manager helped me and my experience was very pleasant. The manager came over because the associate waiting on me had some questions for her. I would definitely come back to this store - and, I would recommend it!

I recently went in to exchanger an unopened Dior lip gloss for another shade. I also needed to make…read morea return with a receipt. With a receipt I was unable to make a return unless I provided a valid government ID in person. The staff, specifically the "District Manager" I spoke with was so rude and disrespectful. I was shocked. I think her name was Tricia however I cannot be sure. I asked her name and she told me if I wanted to know it I could read it on her name tag. Her name tag was on upside down so I could not read it. I think you should be able to do a rerun with a receipt and not need to produce a government ID. I did have an electronic version but that was not acceptable. She read the rules to me on the wall and the rules said that I needed an ID if proof of purchase could not be verified. Overall a reticle experience. I would recommend you walk next door to the Sephora located inside Kohl's. A much better customer service experience.

Negative feedback seems more about revenge for something personal and unrelated to this store. Jeff M from Chicago is not a customer, nor do we know of this person. My wish, for Yelp, is that they find some way to filter false negative feedback, trolls, & revenge feedback. Otherwise the consumer with a legitimate issue isn't taken seriously. I think most realize the difference between the two.

I had to return for two rounds of filler for my lips. They came out very natural, and I was pleased. The only reason I didn't return was due to the high prices, which were higher than most places I've seen and visited. This may be because it is a licensed doctor/surgeon. The staff was very friendly, and the doctor seemed extremely knowledgeable and wasn't pushy at all. The space is also beautiful. I wish I could afford to receive services from them more often. That's the only reason I didn't give a fifth star.
