Why Choose Ulta Salon?
Each Ulta Salon is located within an Ulta Beauty store and usually takes up 10 percent of the space. Therefore, customers can get their beauty shopping done while they also get their hair cut and styled.
Each store is clean and well-lit and carries a variety of mid-range and premium brands for makeup, fragrance, skincare, hair care, and more. This one-stop shopping and service format appeals to many adults who are busy and who do not have the time to travel around town.
Ulta is also known for its amazing stylists. Because of the slightly higher prices than can be expected at other lower-end salons, stylists have plenty of time for full consultations with their clients.
They can take the time to discuss cuts, styles, hair care, and colors to give a truly personalized experience.

Services Offered
Ulta Salons offers a full range of hair and beauty services at each location. While haircuts and styling may be the most popular choices for the majority of clients, perms, colors, and texturizing services are also popular.
Each visit begins with a full one-on-one style consultation. Stylists can also do special occasion hairdos. Other hair services include blowouts, steam infusions, bang trims, clipper cuts for men, and keratin treatments.
Skincare appointments can include face mapping with a skin therapist who will teach clients how to best care for their skin. Facials and microdermabrasion are other great solutions for such skin concerns as oiliness and aging.
At the brow bar, customers can get brow or facial waxing, brow tinting, and lash extensions for natural or full brows. Nail care is done with OPI gel colors.

Company History
Ulta Salons began in 1990 when Richard E. George launched the original Ulta Beauty brand. Since then, many of the chief operative officers have changed, but the mission, look of the brand, and store style have remained consistent.
These days, it still reflects the founder’s original dream, which was to be able to offer both high-end and low-end products in the same store.
Today, there are over 1,100 Ulta Beauty stores located in 49 states as well as the District of Columbia. Each store has a salon that offers a full array of personalized hair and beauty experiences. The more than 21,000 employees include numerous educated and experienced stylists who provide premium services in the open salon environment.

Ulta Beauty has been a publicly traded company for years, with over 4 billion in revenue each year. It remains a strong presence in the salon business and is especially strong along the East Coast and in California, where a majority of its locations are situated.
However, its headquarters remain located in Illinois, where the current COO, Carb Rubin, is known as one of the highest-paid individuals in the Chicago area.
