Interview
I applied online September 9th and received a call to set up an interview September 14th (5 days later). My interview was on the 17th. I met with the manager for the new store at a different store within the plaza because this Ulta wasn't open just yet. She asked me "Why Ulta?" "Why Ulta and not sephora?" (because I had mentioned sephora during the interview) "What's the difference between them and us?" (KNOW your stuff for that one! Ulta is a full service beauty, Sephora is makeup and products mostly). "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "What are you looking to get out of Ulta?" "If you've ever dealt with an angry customer, how did you handle it?" She also asked if I had experience with retail systems as well as shipping and order processing. She also went on to how she runs the store, how she expects you to be punctual, ready to be on the floor when your shift starts, and to put the customer first.

Question 1
She started with "Tell me a little about yourself"..which I never know how to answer since it's like what do you want to know, really?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Silverdale, WA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The Interview process is quick. Took me less than 15 minutes. Common questions like why do you want to work here and tell me about yourself. Pretty generic. The interviewer is nice and the atmosphere is welcoming. They were approachable. I had a great feeling afterwards.

Interview
Very unprofessional, I walked in and asked for the manager saying I had an interview and then proceeded to wait 15-20 minutes for someone to come get me. Once they did I was told a different manager would be interviewing me. We walked back and I learned it was going to be his first interview and the manager who was supposed to interview me was sitting in the office with another employee laughing and talking about her ex boyfriend. The questions he asked were okay, very basic.
group interview in the back of the salon with 3-4 other people being interviewed. We sat in a semi-circle facing one of the managers (all sitting in hair drying stations) and the manager asked us all 1 (relatively easy) question.
