15 Tips and tricks to save money shopping at Ulta
You can rack up points quickly by using the Ulta salon to get your hair, nails, and brows done. Rewards members earn five times as many points at the salon than in the store.
Instead of using points as soon as you get them, some frequent shoppers suggest saving them and using them on larger purchases to get the most savings.
Ulta runs "gift with purchase" promotions often — check what the qualifications are before shopping to score some freebies.
Also look out for online beauty breaks — if you spend more than the minimum amount for that day, you can get a gift set from a prestige brand for free. They generally happen on weekdays and only last a few hours.
If you're buying drugstore brands like Revlon or Neutrogena, Ulta will accept manufacturers coupons, which can usually be found online.
It might be worth it to go to a store instead of ordering online — manufacturers coupons can only be used in stores, and can be stacked with Ulta coupons. In addition, some stores will mark down items that aren't selling well to make room for new inventory, and the prices aren't always reflected online.
Always check the clearance section, which is updated whenever the store updates their inventory. Most items are usually marked down at least 50%, if not more.
Ulta has a few huge sales events each year, like the Jumbo Sale and Gorgeous Hair Sale, where products can be up to 70% off.
It also has a 21 days of beauty sales event where there are markdowns on different brands every day for three weeks.
As long as you've used less than 20% of the product, you can return anything for a full refund within 60 days. If you lose your receipt or miss the 60 day mark, you can still get store credit.
