Ulta

I went in to find a new foundation, my old one was discontinued. I explained what I used to use and it’s texture (I like a thicker cream, full coverage). The associate listened to me and asked more questions about my skin and sun exposure. She brought me exactly what I was looking for (IT brand) and matched my tone right away. She was very helpful and gave me a ton of great advice and wasn’t pushy at all! I love the foundation and she helped me find a great mascara that worked for my weird lashes lol. The store has a good vibe, It’s laid out well and everyone was nice. I didn’t feel out of place because I wasn’t super done up. I would totally recommend this location, bring your questions and they will take care of you!

I have been having Lauren cut my hair for the last 4 years. When she moved downtown I tried several other stylists but never received the same quality of cut or color. I was very happy to find her again at the Ulta located in the Mayfair Collection. She does a great job with cut, color and styling of my hair. I have always taken her recommendations and have never been disappointed in the results. She really knows what she is doing. Since she has been trained in barber style cutting my husband goes to her as well. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a great hairstylist!

What a fun store. There is almost anything and everything you can think of relating to cosmetics. Are they the cheapest with everything, no, but it is a great place for gifts for anyone and gifts for yourself.
I got color matched for some foundation and the sales girl was super sweet and no pushy at all, what a relief. I saw lots of things I would buy but unfortunately I was in just wasting time and wasn’t prepared for some serious shopping so I will be back.
Store was super clean, staff was friendly and helpful but the only downfall I noticed was they have 1 bathroom for a store full of women and it was occupied the whole time I was in there.

I love this location because, I have been looking for the elusive SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Shampoo my naturalistas here will understand. I’ve been calling other retailers in the city, and I called this location as a last resort. Another reason why a like this location is because they have a better selection that caters to African American haircare needs more than Bayshore, so thumbs up.

Worst cut and color I have had. Price with a discount was $ 164. Way too expensive for the horrible results. Not sure where Ulta gets off charging higher prices like the salons that are beautifully decorated, spa like and relaxing. You are sitting in the back of a retail store with florescent lights beaming down on you. Never again. The stylist was Sara. Save yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere.

Gotta Love this Ulta! The staff there was very nice and helpful. The prices was reasonable and Right in the middle of a mini strip mall too! ^_^

I enjoy shopping at Ulta but was extremely disappointed by their salon services. All I needed was an inch off the bottom and some layers added in for shape. My absolute favorite part of a haircut is the blowout portion. I looooooooooove the feeling I get from getting a great haircut and blowout.
I saw Sara (who is the salon manager… it said so on her card) at the Ulta at Mayfair Collection. She did an ok job with the cut but the blowout was absolutely AWFUL. It felt like my hair was still wet. I had to RE-​BLOW DRY my hair when I got home. The blow dry looked like I did a bad job of blowdrying my own hair. I have never experienced such a horrible blowout. She also hit my face with the handle of the round brush while she was drying my hair. I don’t think she noticed because she never apologized.
I used to go to a salon in downtown Milwaukee and loved it but it was getting too expensive at $ 50, and the parking sucked. I tried Ulta because it was closer to home and there was a 25% off sale for new customers. I scheduled my appointment online. It looked like there were two stylists who were around $ 35 and then Sara was around $ 50 (I think the exact price was $ 49.50). Sara was the only one available according to the computer so I scheduled with her and figured that with the 25% off, I was getting a deal. There is NO WAY I would EVER pay $ 50 for the services I received at Ulta. I will NOT be back as a salon customer.

Ulta is great. But not their salon. At least the stylist that did my hair… it was just awful. All I needed was an easy haircut; layers and 2 – 3 inches snipped. I have long hair. She barely put layers is my hair and didn’t even cut ONE inch off. After she washed my hair which btw she left me there at the hair washing station with soap still IN my hair to go help a shopping customer for at least 5 minutes. Not exaggerating. Anyway, I had to tell her to cut more off! She helped a shopping customer out twice, just left me there. It wasn’t a quick «oh it’s over there». It was that she left and talked to them for awhile. I was in a hurry which I mentioned in my appointment.
So now I have this big bulk at the end when I hold my hair together if you get what I’m saying. Wasted money and crappy hair. I feel bad but I’m gonna mention her name (sorry Mercedes) but her name is Mercedes. ;/​
So just warning you all. I never been to an ulta salon and probably won’t go back since I’m not sure if that’s how it is normally with leaving their customers waiting in the middle of their cut. Once is okay since I’m forgiving but repeatedly? I’m not That nice.

I’m not a high maintenance girl and in some ways I find a store like this a little much, but on the other hand I’m with Joanna in that it’s nice to have everything in one place.
They have their own line of makeup that’s always on sale and as someone who doesn’t wear much and does some playing around, I like that I can get some stuff cheap and try it before moving up and committing big money to other stuff.
They seem a lot less pretentious than Sephora, but when I went here after getting the brush off at Sephora, while I was given better attention, the girl kind of tried to railroad me into the first thing she showed me. For me, a place like this is nice because I can try so many things and get more educated, so when she didn’t give me that chance I was a little disappointed.
Twice I’ve been in with coupons they’ve sent to me and twice they’ve been out of the product. Both times they extended the coupon and I can still go back and get said things, but that necessitates another trip and I find that annoying.
So just an A-​OK for now. Maybe they’re figuring out «par» levels and such with the new store and these hiccups will even out.
Still, it’s convenient, they sent me coupons for free stuff, I can try the makeup before I buy it and the people actually talk to me so …

For me, Ulta is «a-​ok». I like Sephora’s brands & selection better but admit that Ulta is generally much more convenient than trying to run into the mall especially if I need just a few things.
This location is brand new — only open about a week and is a little smaller than the Brookfield version. That doesn’t mean you’ll lack for choice though — there are hair products galore, cosmetics, tools and all the bath & body you could possibly want. Not a ton of staff present when I visited but the one I encountered was helpful.
To me, the key benefit of shopping at Ulta is convenience as they pretty much have everything you could find at Walgreens/​CVS, a salon store and a decent make-​up counter. Also, their rewards program is worth signing up for if you plan to be a frequent shopper.
