I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Melbourne, FL) in Mar 2011
Interview
store manager interview, then phone interview with Benefit Cosmetics, sometimes Benefit rep comes into ulta store to do a face to face interview instead, followed by a demo where you have to wax eyebrows. I didn't pass the first time even though I have a cosmetology license, but the salon manager had me practice with a few models and I was able to do a demo again and passed.
I had a short interview with manager going over job responsibilities and my experience with waxing. They want you to be proactive about coming in with a book. They also do not have a cancellation fee policy. We also talked about scheduling a practical.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2022
Interview
Horrible interview, asked too many personal questions like if I was going to have kids soon? I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. Uncomfortable interview process and bad communication from manager. It felt unprofessional and I was shocked.
Phone interview with RAM then interview with General Manager both interviews were easy going, especially with RAM she was easy to talk to.
GM was pretty cool too but I felt like they sold me a lie through the interview
