1. Find Flexibility to Grow
Ulta Beauty truly provides access to everything you need to start, evolve and grow a beauty career, throughout the salon and store. Start in one area, then explore another. Maybe makeup or brows are your bag, or a career in education is your dream, or moving away from the chair and helping others succeed is something you’ve wanted to try. All those experiences to move laterally or earn a promotion between or within services or retail are open, based on qualifications, business need and desire.

2. Be a Style Leader
At the Stylist, Master Stylist and Elite Stylist levels, our hair care experts consult with guests to deliver a broad range of professional services—from blow outs to balayage, extensions to corrective color, special occasion styling to trendsetting cuts—all to ensure guests with every hair type and texture look and feel their best. Unparalleled continuing hands-on and digital education via Ulta Academy is supported by exclusive Pro Team and Design Team.

3. Arch Upward!
Do you or someone you know aspire to be an arch expert? Through an exclusive collab with Benefit Browbar, Ulta brow waxing experts demonstrate and perform brow services and other short salon services including facial waxing and brow tinting.

4. Go for the Glow
Ulta Beauty Skin Therapists are experts who consult with guests to deliver professional product recommendations in professional skincare services in a retail environment. They are passionate about helping guests solve their skin care concerns and make them feel great about having glowing and healthy skin.

5. Manage Success
Salon Managers work behind the chair and oversee all aspects of salon operations and associate development, with an emphasis on meeting sales goals and setting career path goals for the team.

The Assistant Salon Manager helps with much of the above, plus creating an environment that maintains standards of excellence.
