I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Mar 2012
Interview
After filling out an application and submitting a resume online, a recruiter called for a position open in my area, did phone interview, said my resume would be moved forward, then called to say all positions at that locations had been filled, but 2 other locations were going to opening in the near future so I was invited to a one on one interview with a district manager at a store location which went very well. She was very personable, the interview was about an hour long and we seemed to hit it off with each other. I was called one week later and offered the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There really weren't any difficult questions. I did my research ahead of time about the company and was prepared.
I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Oceanside, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
First intwrview had about 15 technical questions they were reading off of a 2 page paper.
I then met with the hiring manager for a second interview and again they read off of a paper asking lots of technical questions with a little selling excersise at the end.
I waited one week without a response after the second interview. I had called for an update to be told the hiring manager was out for the week and i should get a response next week. I never heard anything after that after wasting my time. This company left a bad taste in my mouth
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty
Interview
3 sets of interviews! First one is your store general manager , another stores general manager. Then the district manager.
All three interviews are on different sets of skills or parts of the business. Core job responsibilities, culture , and leadership are all different sets of questions they will ask you. The interviews are solo interviews with just the person who is interviewing you
3 part interview with both managers and regional manager. Both Managers went over role expectations and were very clear about what the job entails. I checked back in and they kept me in the loop the whole time. Very fast paced and motivated
