About to apply at ULTA..
And I am SO confused.
I've talked to so many people now and I just keep getting different info. I've tried looking online but I can't seem to find anything. My friends who visit ULTA regularly tell me that they're similar to MAC and will hire artists based on skill regardless if they are licensed or not. Not to mention, people I know who are friends with the employees say that at my ULTA, they're looking for skilled people to be artists right now since it opened just recently which leaves me confused.
I looked up on Job Search if there were any positions open and there are but the only artist related positions listed are for licensed people. Granted, I'll take whatever job there I can because I want my first job to be in an environment I can thrive in and I have yet to get my GED from High School but does anyone know if they really do hire off of skill like some people say?
Thanks!

Wear your hair so it is out of your face is really my only tip. ULTA would be so much fun to work at!

Re: About to apply at ULTA..
I *think* they might require some form of h/s, but I don't honestly know.
Last time I tried to apply at Ulta, it was a paper application. In fact, if you can't find an application directly on the website, then you need to go in and ask.
For most cosmetics jobs, the best advice is always going in full-faced, if you're comfortable with that? It shows your skill level immediately and lets them see what you can do from the very start. I don't know anything about Ulta's hiring [such as, what hoops you have to jump through lol] so I don't know if they require demos like MAC does.
Hope that helps, and good luck!!

Re: About to apply at ULTA..
My friend works at Ulta and I think she just applied? I had no idea you had to be a MUA to work there-- most of the girls at the one I frequent don't know a whole lot about the cosmetics they sell there or the color theory. Bizarre.
Good luck- love your Sugarpill tutorial, btw!

Few Questions about working for Ulta.
So, I have a phone interview with Ulta on Monday. Can anyone tell me how many interviews there are? I'm applying for Cashier. I would really love to do the prestige consultant but online it says you have to have a year experience with prestige... Is that true? I've worked retail for 6 years but none of it was in the beauty industry. Beauty has been my obsession since I was old enough to get my hands on makeup but I've never done anything professional. Do you think I should just ask the woman from my phone interview if it would be possible to consider me for the prestige opening also. I'd appreciate any advice you girls can give me. I've read the other Ulta posts on here and learned alot from them. Thanks in advance!!!
Also I haven't worked in the past 2 yrs due to having my son and I feel I'm a bit rusty when it comes to answering interview questions.. Anyone know what kind of questions they ask for the phone interview???

Re: Few Questions about working for Ulta.
It went good. The interview was really informal probably 3 or 4 questions. The manager said she really liked me and she'd call me tomorrow. I'm wondering now if that was the only interview or if I have to interview with the General Manager also?? Other than that it went well.

Re: Few Questions about working for Ulta.
It depends of a position. If it is for cashier i think that's all. Did you tell them that you want to be prestige consultant?? You can start as cashier and they can train you in prestige department so after couple of months you can start working as PC.
