Have been closed the last two times I’ve come by. I work in Petaluma and live in San Francisco and plan my trips accordingly based on hours listed online . Really frustrating when planning to stop by after work. Has always been around 4-6 pm. First time the AC was broken, second time was told they’re closing early today. Typically have great service and stock when I have been able to shop here but not beneficial if they’re not open and hours don’t reflect that online.
About Ulta Beauty
Ulta Beauty is a popular US beauty retailer that offers a wide range of products from various brands, including exclusive ones like Kylie Cosmetics and Olaplex. Customers can shop for cosmetics, fragrances, skincare, and hair care products, among others. The store also features the Salon at Ulta Beauty, which offers different services such as haircuts, hair coloring, and makeup applications.
The staff at Ulta Beauty are known to be helpful and knowledgeable. They assist customers with product selections, suggestions, and color options. They also help with makeup application, allowing customers to decide what works best for them. For instance, employees have been praised for their kindness, attentiveness, and ability to find the perfect product, such as matching foundation shades in different lighting. Customers have appreciated the quick and efficient service, especially from staff like Renee, who has been highly recommended for her skill and friendly manner.
However, some customers have shared negative experiences, including unprofessional behavior among employees and poor customer service from certain staff members. These issues included employees talking about coworkers inappropriately and making faces that seemed unfriendly. Frustration also arose when staff were unsure who would assist with shade matching or product questions due to a busy event, leading to confusion and longer waits. Additionally, concerns about the store's checkout process persist, as some customers feel pressured to provide their phone number for returns and other services. One customer noted feeling uncomfortable when staff repeatedly asked a young girl with a backpack if she needed help, assuming she might be involved in theft, which made her feel uneasy. Despite these issues, some staff members remain helpful and friendly, offering good assistance when asked.
Reviews
The first and last time I come to this location. The girls at the register were rude, nobody smiled, and their tone sounded arrogant and annoyed. It was giving “mean girl” energy. When the lady at the register was processing my return, she tossed the face primer onto the counter, as if I was being an inconvenience for returning an item.
Ulta in Petaluma is is smaller than Ulta in Santa Rosa but the selection is very comparable and the atmosphere is much calmer. However, there were no associates on the floor and I was not offered help. The associates at the front counter were friendly though and asked if i had found what I needed.
