About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, an Ulta employee noticed something odd on the security camera footage. A familiar face—a regular—was seen leaving the store with nothing in hand but a smile, only to return moments later carrying several items. The same routine repeated every day for weeks until one afternoon, when a delivery driver overheard a whispered conversation between two employees. It turned out that ‘the regular’ was actually a nosy neighbor who thought he’d found a clever way to get free makeup samples. When confronted, he sheepishly admitted it was just his subtle method of testing new products before everyone else did. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Ulta had a running joke about their secret VIP tester.
2. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Ulta Beauty, he overheard two employees whispering about strange reflections they’d seen in the mirrors. Curious, the delivery driver sneaked a peek and saw his reflection smiling back with an extraordinarily wide grin. Turns out, one of the boxes had accidentally stuck him in the face with a tube of lipstick. The next morning, everyone in the store greeted each other with exaggerated smiles—until someone finally cleaned up the mess.
3. One foggy morning, while stocking shelves, an Ulta employee caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of her eye. Curious, she turned around and saw only a shadowy figure in the mirror behind the makeup counters. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just checking if you’ve got my favorite lipstick.’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver with excellent timing—and a great sense of humor.
4. One night, after closing, an Ulta manager heard a voice whispering from the makeup aisle. "Try this shade," it said. When she investigated, there was no one there—just a new lipstick with an unusual glow. Curious, she picked up the tube and applied it—it was a perfect match for her skin tone! The next morning, everyone in the store oohed and aahed over its magical properties. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver trying out his new product before work.
