### 1/5 — No birthday coupon

*2026-08-08, version 10.15.1*

I didn’t receive the birthday coupon email and wasn’t able to get my birthday gift with the app or my phone number. I was looking forward to a little birthday treat. I’ve never had this issue in years passed. What a bummer. It was supposed to be fun.

### 1/5 — Customer service

I visited Ulta today. Did you ever go somewhere and have a royal rug pulled out for you! The welcome was so appreciated!I applaud the customer service! It is certainly a pleasure to visit Ulta at The Danbury ,CT Mall!
Happy Customer!

### 5/5 — Ulta Salon

*2026-08-07, version 10.15.1*

Amazing experience! Jeanine is professional and a top stylist!

### 5/5 — Lifesaver Giana

*2026-08-07, version 10.15.1*

I had a 100$ gift card and a number of the PIN number came off and the person at the cash register try every number and she finally figured out what it was and I got to pay for it and her name was Giana she was sooo nice

### 2/5 — No way to cancel orders

*2026-08-07, version 10.15.1*

Despite part of my pick up order being cancelled due to low stock there is no way to fully cancel it on the app or thru email. You have to physically go to the store, accept the partial order, then process a return. This is very inconvenient and just an outdated way of doing things.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It's true. Ulta Beauty is hitting the newest low right now in 2026

*2026-08-14, version 10.15.1*

I joined Ulta in 2016. This July was my birthday and marked 10 years with them.

My order arrived damaged. Birthday gift missing. One item refunded after multiple photos and multiple representatives. Another item from the same damaged order remained charged.

The weirdest part was how little any of it seemed to matter.

Ten years of loyalty and somehow the most memorable part was realizing Ulta just doesn’t feel special anymore.

That’s unfortunate for a beauty company.

Crediblity was only at Ulta for such limited time. i miss it. but even then, not really.

### 1/5 — App not loading

*2026-08-13, version 10.15.1*

I’m literally been trying to get on the Ulta app and it won’t even load. I deleted the app downloaded again and still won’t load anything.

### 1/5 — Changed my email & phone

*2026-08-13, version 10.15.1*

I can’t access my credit card after changing my email & phone #. It won’t allow me to sign in and is requiring me to to request help. The process has already taken me over an hour and doesn’t completely update.

### 1/5 — Bad customer service

*2026-08-12, version 10.15.1*

Ordered a cologne for my son for his 17th birthday and when I opened the box I saw that it was a refill not the actual cologne bottle so I called them and they began to send me a replacement but this time the correct one and again they sent me the refill and I called them again for the third time I asked to talk to the supervisor only for them to issue me a refund when I did not want a refund I wanted the cologne at the price I had paid for it and they didn’t care to help me at all. Very disappointed and sad.

### 1/5 — Didn’t get the make up bag

*2026-08-12, version 10.15.1*

I spent over $150 and wasn’t given the make up bag! Customer care sucks!!!!

### 1/5 — Horrifying review

*2026-08-12, version 10.15.1*

Everyone at Ulta was very nice and provided good customer service, so I want to acknowledge that. However, I was extremely disappointed by how the situation was handled today. And I did purchase something..
There was a tornado warning and severe weather outside, and we were simply trying to find a safe place to wait until the weather passed. I was shocked that Ulta did not allow us to remain inside the store for safety reasons. I completely understand that there are store policies and procedures, but in a situation involving potentially dangerous weather, I would have expected a little more compassion and concern for customers’ safety.
The employees were kind, but the decision not to allow us to wait inside during a tornado warning left a very bad impression on me. Customer service is more than being friendly—it’s also about how you treat people when they are in a vulnerable or unexpected situation.

I hope management will reconsider how situations like this are handled in the future. No customer should feel like they have nowhere safe to go during a severe weather emergency.

### 1/5 — Remove the sold out items.

*2026-08-11, version 10.15.1*

Nothing worse than having to keep clicking on items to find out they are sold out. I clicked on 8 different things that were sold out and gave up shopping on Ultas app.

### 1/5 — dumb

*2026-08-10, version 10.15.1*

won’t let me get in to pay my credit card. annoying.

### 1/5 — disappointing with the service

*2026-08-09, version 10.15.1*

i’m dissatisfied with customer service in the store and on online. I’ve been in there trying to update my email twice twice on the phone. The story keeps getting it wrong. I called customer service. They won’t send me a link to redo my email so I can get online.. I love the products but I’m not sure if it’s worth the headaches. I’ve been with ultra for many years, but I am so disappointed this time

### 1/5 — Beauty  surfaces

*2026-08-09, version 10.15.1*

The app is always incorrect with timing never shows exact timing sometimes shows no availability for every single stylist

### 5/5 — Absolutely Love

*2026-08-09, version 10.15.1*

I make most of my purchases on this app and have had no problems. I always buy online pickup in store to avoid the lines at my Ulta. Love this app.
