About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing Ulta’s makeup aisles, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your future selves are waiting!’ Ever since then, employees claim they’ve seen shoppers occasionally pause mid-browsing, whispering to themselves, ‘Should I really buy that?’ One day, a delivery driver paused near the cash register, muttering, ‘I should probably tip her more.’ His colleague joked, ‘Next time you’ll remember, future self.’ Since then, everyone in the warehouse teases him about it whenever he shops there.
2. While stocking up on skincare essentials one afternoon, a regular noticed something peculiar wafting from the perfume section—an intoxicating scent that seemed to follow him around the store, like a friendly ghost trailing your shopping basket. Curious, he followed his nose until it led him to an unopened bottle of limited-edition fragrance. Upon closer inspection, he realized with a smile that it was just a particularly enthusiastic delivery driver sampling the new scent before restocking.
3. At dawn, when Ulta’s doors usually opened wide for early risers, a delivery driver found himself lost in thought. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the store—was it the new air freshener or someone practicing their singing lessons? Curious, he crept closer and saw an old man quietly applying makeup in front of a mirror, muttering something about ‘the perfect lipstick shade.’ Turning around with a smile, the gentleman introduced himself as a regular customer who liked to visit Ulta before anyone else was awake. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and thinking, ‘maybe I should try on some mascara next time too.’
4. At nightfall, when Ulta’s lights twinkled invitingly, a delivery driver parked his truck and stretched. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he cracked open the door—a faint scent of perfume tickled his nose. Inside, rows of makeup glinted under dim lighting, but no one was there. Just as he turned around, a voice whispered, ‘Do you like what you see?’ Startled, he jumped back, only to realize it came from an animated mannequin waving hello. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, thinking maybe he needed more sleep. As he left, he waved goodbye to the smiling mannequin, who replied cheerfully, “Goodnight, regular!”
