Ulta Beauty worst Customer Service

Disappointing customer service from start to finish.

While I was initially greeted at the door, the rest of my shopping experience was completely frustrating. Not once was I approached or offered assistance on the floor.

I had to ask for help finding products three separate times. Each time, the employees seemed entirely preoccupied chatting with friends and sampling products themselves rather than assisting customers. Instead of helping me locate items, they simply pointed toward an aisle and immediately walked away to continue their conversations. At one point, employees were actively sampling right in front of an item I needed; without asking what specific product I was looking for, an employee simply said "it's right here" and walked away.

When I couldn't find the item and asked if there was a separate display anywhere in the store, I was flatly told "no." I asked if they were certain since there wasn't even a shelf tag or empty spot on the shelf, and they insisted there was no other location. Sure enough, I found a separate display with the exact product on my own a few moments later.

Checkout was just as dismissive. When the cashier asked if I found everything, I shared that it was difficult to find items and that I couldn't get help on the floor. Her response was, "Well, did you ask for help?" When I explained that I had asked three times, she said nothing, handed me my receipt, and dismissed me.

Ultra Beauty worst customer service

I was greeted when I walked into the store. Then I ask three different times for help locating produce. I was never approached and asked if I needed any assistance. Each time I asked the employees they were too busy talking to their friends and sampling products to help me. They did point to what aisle the product was on but then quickly walked away with their friends chatting away. One of the products they were standing in front of sampling. They didn't ask me what I was looking for they just said it's right here and walked away. Then when they walked back by me I explained that I couldn't find the product and asked if it was anywhere else in the store on display. They all said no! I said are you sure because there's not even an empty spot for this product. Sure enough there was a display of the product I was looking for.

When I went up to the counter to check out it didn't get any better. The clerk asked me if I found everything I was looking for. I told her it was difficult to find the products and I couldn't get help. She then asked me, "well did you ask for help." Nothing further was said when I explained to her that I had. I was given my receipt and I left the store. That is why I hate going into Ultra Beauty!

What shades should I try if brown doesn’t suit me?

I have a medium light complexion with an olive undertone and I feel like brown shades just don’t suit me that well. They either look a little dull or just off on me like wiping mud on my lips. I’m looking for a lip stain that complements olive skin and most importantly stays on. I hate having to reapply my lip products every single time I eat or drink something. I’d like to find something that leaves a nice stain even after eating and doesn’t completely disappear from the center of my lips.

Recent order mix-ups.

So did everyone get the wrong order during this point multiplier event? I’m seeing so many customers on the other side say they either received the wrong package, or received a surplus of items.

I won’t lie, I’m very stressed about this because I spent my cute $70 to receive a bunch of nothing, and I’m debating on getting a refund. However, I don’t wanna lose my points. So it’s either receive my things or get my money back. I’m SICK!

So you’re telling me I have to spend $90 for only Samples?!

The GWP minimum purchase spend options are getting out of hand. $90 for a bag full of samples? Not a single full size? Not even one of those bottles of wax beads?

WHY DID THEY EVER INCLUDE WAX BEADS IN A GWP?

Listen, I love opening that plastic bag that looks like what you would get for lunch on your 5th grade zoo field trip but recently it’s become samples nobody wants. Fragrances that you can’t even buy or brands that have collected so much dust they won’t even make the yellow sticker shelf.

C’mon Ulta. For $90 you can give us more. At least at Sephora I can pretend I’m picking out my two samples and they’re “free”.

Help me pick a nude eye palette!

I’m looking at eye palettes for my 10x point haul but can’t decide. I prefer cool tones but open to whatever. Also, don’t want too much shimmer but some is ok. What are your go to eye palettes??

Ulta Fall Sale

I really want to get some new CHANEL products and a Shark FlexStyle 😭 Does anyone think there’s a good chance either will be included in the sale? I’m trying to decide whether I should wait or just buy them now 🥲

Gel or wax for thick coarse eyebrows?

I have thick eyebrows with coarse hairs. They naturally have cowlicks too. I used to trim them, but it looks so blunt and choppy and is especially bad when they grow out. So I decided im not going to trim my eyebrow hairs anymore and just shape them with gel or wax. What do you guys recommend?
