How to find an Ulta Beauty Salon near you
You’ll find Ulta Salons in many standalone Ulta stores. Generally, Ulta locations inside Target stores don’t offer salon services. To book, use the online booking flow or call your local store to confirm availability and pricing for your stylist tier.

Ulta uses tiered pricing based on your stylist’s experience level: Stylist (entry level), Master (mid level), and Elite (top level). Your final total can also change based on hair length/thickness and add-ons (like toner or deep conditioning).

Budget tip for hair color services
If you’re trying to keep the total predictable, ask up front whether you’ll need extras like toner/gloss, a bond builder, or an additional bowl of color based on hair length and thickness.
What your Ulta Salon appointment is like from start to finish
- You’ll start with a quick consult. Bring inspiration photos and be honest about what you do (and don’t) want to maintain at home.
- Your stylist will recommend a plan. This is the best time to ask about add-ons that can affect price and timing.
- Timing depends on the service. A trim and style is usually much faster than highlights, balayage, or major color changes.
- You’ll get product and upkeep suggestions. Helpful if you want your color or style to last longer between visits.
Verdict
Ulta Salon is a solid “one stop” option when you want hair, brows, and makeup handled in the same place. Just remember pricing is tier- and location-based—so check your store’s menu and confirm add-ons before you start.
How to keep your Ulta Salon total lower in 2026
- Book the service you actually want. “Highlights” can mean very different things—ask if you’re booking partial vs full.
- Ask for the expected total before you begin. Especially for color, texture treatments, and anything with add-ons.
- Use consultations for big changes. Extensions and major color corrections are where surprises happen—consults keep it predictable.
- Keep coupons as a bonus, not the plan. If you do want to check, take a quick look at Groupon Coupons for any current Ulta offers before you book.

Ulta Beauty Salon FAQ for 2026
Do I need an appointment at Ulta Salon?
It’s best to book ahead. Some locations may accept walk-ins, but availability depends on staffing and how busy the salon is that day.
Why do prices change from store to store?
Ulta salon pricing can vary by market, stylist tier (Stylist, Master, Elite), and service details like hair length, thickness, and add-ons. Use the estimates above to budget, then confirm pricing on Ulta’s services menu for your store.
How do I choose between Stylist Master and Elite?
If you want something straightforward (like a trim or simple blowout), entry-level tiers can be a great value. For more complex color, blonding, or a big change, higher tiers can be worth it for experience and consistency.

Tipping is common at US salons. If you’re unsure, 15%–20% is a typical range—though you can always tip based on the experience and service.
