Our Story

At Ulta Beauty, we have been visionaries since day one. Seeing possibilities is what we did when we first created All Things Beauty, All in One Place™ — a store experience that connected with how beauty lovers actually shopped. And it forever changed the game.

Store Growth

Since opening our first store in 1990, Ulta Beauty has grown to become the largest U.S. beauty retailer and the premier beauty destination for cosmetics, fragrance, skin care products, hair care products and salon services.

Limitless Assortment

You’ll find more than 25,000 products from approximately 500 beauty brands across all categories and price points, including our private label Ulta Beauty Collection.

Personalized Services

We offer the total beauty experience in store. Our licensed professional stylists customize hair, skin, brow and makeup services to fit our guests’ needs and preferences.

Ultamate Rewards

Our industry-leading loyalty program boasts more than 30 million Ultamate Rewards Members and counting. Whether our members spend on products or services, we show them that beauty loves them back.

Our Guests

Pretty possibilities. Ulta Beauty is committed to offering our guests unrivaled ways to be beautiful in an environment that provides the thrill of exploration and the delight of discovery.

Look, shop, play—reward yourself! With our free Ultamate Rewards loyalty program, guests sign up and earn points for every dollar spent on products, beauty services and at ulta.com—then put those points toward future in-store or online purchases. They also get exclusive offers, discounts and even a free birthday gift. It’s our way of showing how beauty loves them back.

We’ve significantly invested in our associates over the last several years, adopting new benefits and policies that give our associates greater flexibility and security and a better work-life balance:

  • Launched tuition reimbursement
  • Implemented an extended illness bank
  • Increased short term disability pay from 60% to 80% of pay
  • Established flexible work arrangement policies

Ulta Beauty is also committed to conducting business with integrity, which is why inspiring trust is extremely important. It helps us maintain the respect of our guests, associates, and business and community partners and preserves Ulta Beauty’s winning culture of which we are all so proud.

Our Communities

We give our all. We proudly support our local communities by creating new jobs across the country and investing in areas of interest to women such as breast cancer research, education and job training.

Ulta Beauty is among the top four corporate partners of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer.

Since 2009, our signature fundraising events, which raise money from guests, associates and partners, has generated a total contribution of $27.5 million, used to fund 91 breast cancer research projects.

Myra Biblowit, BCRF President & CEO

The Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation (UBCF) is committed to enhancing the education and well-being of women and their families throughout our communities. In addition to giving time, our associates are generous with their own money. Associates have the option to enroll in a payroll deduction program to further support the impact they and UBCF can have on our communities. In 2017, we launched an Associate Relief Program to provide financial grants to associates facing hardship.

In 2017, Ulta Beauty established a national partnership with Dress for Success®, an international, not-for-profit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. The partnership includes financial support and Ulta Beauty Collection product to help women look and feel their best.

We support the continuum of services program at 27 local affiliates to give more than 20,000 women the tools they need to build long-term careers. Associates show support for women and families by volunteering to sort and merchandise the Dress for Success suiting boutiques, collect clothing accessories and provide tips on applying professional makeup.

Our Environment

Globally minded: As a company, Ulta Beauty works to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and has been implementing sustainability initiatives in our stores, distribution centers and corporate offices. We have a dedicated Corporate Energy Team that focuses on managing our energy use wisely and conserving resources.

Through our energy management program, Ulta Beauty has reduced our comparable store electric consumption during the last three years by over 5 million kWh, which is equivalent to reducing more than 3,700 metric tons of GHG emissions. And in 2018, Ulta Beauty stores and distribution centers recycled a total of more than 13,200 tons of cardboard and plastic shrink wrap. Learn More About Our Commitment To The Environment
