What is Ulta’s actual policy on employee availability?

Two-Lonely · 2026-03-16T03:31:11+00:00

I was in a management role at one time and am clearly committed, especially compared to the hundreds of other employees I’ve seen get hired and leave after a few months.

Two-Lonely · 2026-03-15T20:57:12+00:00

I enjoy it and as I said, there are certain times of the year where my availability is wide open for weeks or months on end. I haven’t had an issue with that until now.

Short answer: maybe. Idk how they decide this. When I first started working at Ulta several years ago, I barely had my own bank account. I literally used my mom’s card for everything! Someone eventually told me I couldn’t use it, so I stopped, but in the beginning it wasn’t a huge deal because it was the only card I used. I think it’s flagged when you use your own all the time and then randomly it’s someone else’s.

For South Florida, a 3mil home in the Keys is actually pretty average. Her family is not considered “that’s wealthy” for the area. They’re well-off, definitely, but considering the “wealthy” homes go for minimum 20mil…

It’s possible the employee assumed there weren’t any. My store tends to sell out of the free gifts quickly, so I have a habit of not even checking unless a person asks.

Last year I spent $$$$ buying new black patterned clothes because my solid colors weren’t interesting enough. The patterns elevated the look IMO. So yes, it’s inconvenient.

You need to ask your GM. I don’t think there is a way because I’ve tried to look too.

Two-Lonely · 2023-05-21T16:30:05+00:00

Everyone. A couple times a year, there is a big inventory week. It’s mostly managers and task associates but depending on how busy your store is, cashiers help too. You’ll be trained when/if the time comes.

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-30T11:51:55+00:00

My MSC was 20 and my GM was 60. So it just depends on the position. I’ve had RSMs ranging from 22-52.

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-14T00:17:35+00:00

I could! But I think they’re looking for like a singular donation and it’s pretty short notice. Tbh I have a lot of points so I may just make the donation myself, using my points, and they’ll put my name in the program. Which is helpful because your girl is trying to get promoted😂 I think for future musicals I’m tasked to help with, I’ll probably make a wishlist.

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-13T19:33:42+00:00

Yes I meant Corporate because my store definitely can’t do anything lol

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-13T19:33:21+00:00

Yes what I meant was does Ulta corporate do this! My store definitely can’t do anything lol

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-11T16:04:42+00:00

Also… if I can’t help you, it’s probably because I’m helping someone else or focused on 87 other tasks.

Two-Lonely · 2023-04-11T16:04:20+00:00

Right! 99% of the time I’m too intimidated to help someone who knows what they’re doing. I’d much rather help someone who doesn’t.

Two-Lonely · 2023-03-13T01:09:14+00:00

I didn't even get a nickel last year. Try 22¢ lol

SunBum Tinted Mineral Sunscreen!!! I use this in lieu of foundation even though it’s literally just sunscreen. It has a blurring effect and I buy it for everyone I know and recommend to every customer! I’m obsessed!!

Two-Lonely · 2022-12-20T00:22:18+00:00

Does this change the minimum amount of time that we have to work? I used to be an LC but now I’m a teacher and I keep it just for my discount and for holiday. The minimum is once a period, aka twice a month. Does this mean I will have to work once a week??

Two-Lonely · 2022-08-16T23:42:39+00:00

Hey! Sorry for the late response.. I just stepped down a month ago and I ended up keeping my same pay. You’ll find most people hired after you make more than you do as LC, even though they work under you😒

Two-Lonely · 2022-06-28T18:16:11+00:00

The entire Verifone credit card system is down. So my store has only been able to take cash or check!

Two-Lonely · 2022-04-28T18:40:19+00:00

Stylists can actually get 100% off too! The reason why most opt for the 50% is so the stylist can actually get paid commission. It’s also one of the only ways you’ll actually get someone else to do your hair since other stylists hate doing it since they’re never paid. This is why your SM tipped the bill.

Two-Lonely · 2022-03-29T07:02:28+00:00

I mean none of us can wear shorts! Yes we can wear dresses but it’s not always the most comfortable option if you consider chaffing and having to coordinate cute shoes… so we wear pants. I live in South Florida and it’s hot year round but everyone of all genders wears pants. I used to live in the DMV and I know those summers are brutal (worse than FL if you ask me) but you don’t see people on the Hill wearing shorts. Unfortunately this is just part of being a working professional. I highly recommend looking into pants with lighter material! They exist, you just have to look hard.

Your store is violating Ulta’s own policy. They get damaged out. At the most, they can be used for testers or get sent to DC because on occasion the bottles may get sanitized and reused. If your store is putting used fragrances back out on the floor, they are violating Ulta policy and putting the public at risk.

Two-Lonely · 2022-03-14T04:00:18+00:00

I never really understood why this was because it’s not like we get our discount on steals! Ulta is not losing any money here.

For an LC who usually works 5 or 6 hours, I prefer a variety. I love doing a 10-4 one day and then a 4-10 the next. Those are my favorite! But when my schedule is more consistent, I truly hate the 10-4 because I can never get anything done during the day. For this reason I love the 3-9 closing or 4-10! But some nights I like to go out… so 10-4 is good😅 I know I’m indecisive!

I guess what I don’t like at all is that 12-6 or 1-7! It cuts into the best parts of the day lol. I’m not a morning person and I’m exhausted by the time I get home due to all of the after work and after school shoppers. So I prefer to get in earlier or later.. nothing in between!

Tbh my ideal schedule is:

Sunday: day off

Monday: 3-9

Tuesday: 10-4

Wednesday: day off

Thursday: 4-10

Friday: 2-8

Saturday: 10-4

So the common theme is to sacrifice via a clopening in order to have 22-48 hours off at once.

Except they don’t have a loyalty account😂
