There is NO Ulta where I live (no Sephora either, not even in JCPenney). Maybe a horrible one is better than none?

While in the checkout line, I heard the clerk ask the person checking out if she wanted to tip the associate who had helped her. I had never heard of that before, is this common practice or just an Ulta thing?What? I think that would merit an email to corporate. That's awful!

I have 2 Ultas near me and they are both a wreck. Messy makeup displays, out of products week after week, and they never seem to have the gifts with purchase in stock...even if I go the day the sale starts, but they do have the signs up saying you get a GWP. The associates don't seem knowledgeable about the products at all. Their salons are also poorly run at my Ultas. I have emailed corporate, but nothing changes.

I didn't go to the Ulta that opened near me for a long time because of all the horrible reports about them that I had read here. I finally ventured in and the staff is very friendly and the store is always clean. They have some different products than Sephora and I have enjoyed shopping there so far.

Instead of giving the stylist a tip directly, they will ask you at the register when you pay.On 1/16/2014 chessylady said: I recently went to Ulta to buy BareEssentials foundation.

I was laughing to myself. I went to an Ulta at the beginning of December. The store was sparsely populated with customers. CS's outdid us by 2:1. (They were all just standing around.) As I wandered on the "expensive" side of the store, browsing the "prestige" products, I was approached twice in quick succession to know if "I was finding whatever I needed."
Then I moved to the other side of the store, with the drugstore quality items, and wandered up and down the rows. Actually, I'd never been there so I was spending a lot of time walking around. Would you like to guess how many CS's approached me to offer their assistance?
