I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Fairless Hills, PA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Was contacted by salon manager via phone call; came in for a one on one interview to discuss experience; a technical interview followed which required a highlight and haircut.
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Fort Gratiot, MI)
Interview
Initially I met with the GM because they had no salon manager. She looked over my paperwork, and we talked a little bit. She said I'd be a perfect fit in the salon, and boom I was hired.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Saginaw, MI) in Sep 2016
Interview
Barely an interview. They literally brought me in to make sure i wasn't psycho and then hired me on the spot. i had to come in a few days later to prove i knew what i was doing but that was it.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
I filled out the application online and started calling locations within my area because I could not fill out more than one application for different areas. Everyone was hiring, but I was not receiving any call backs. 3 weeks later after finally receiving word that my reciprocity (basically my cosmetology license) was switched to GA from TX. I called one location on a Thursday and asked to speak with the salon manager about a hairstylist position and I got a call back in a couple hours and had a mini interview over the phone and was asked to come in for a sit down the following Monday to talk about the basics of their expectations and see if I would still be interested in moving forward with a technical interview (a color,cut, and highlight timed for two hours). My application was lost in the system so the manager had to contact HR which to me felt like forever!! I agreed to move forward even though she still did not have my application and came in the following Monday with my own model and showed my skills. The salon manager was pleased with my skills coming straight out of school but told me that we could not move forward without my application, to wait for a call back on Wednesday. She did not call, so I called on Thursday and she had my application finally. I was then offered the position with a 90 day probationary period to see if I have made any progression and fit as a stylist. Just waiting on a background check (I was told takes about 2-3 days) to start working by next week.The process was long to finally get a call back for an interview, but once started, it took my interview process about two weeks.
