Ulta Beauty 133 South Frontage Road, Meridian, MS 39301

"Was just there. They don't have Age Perfect, or the Erase color corrector or brightener. No one spoke to me, tho the staff seemed very friendly to other customers. (I went without make-up, looking a bit haggard, and I'm older so I'm sure they assumed I knew what I wanted.) Ulta should hire some older women to work their stores. Women who are experienced with mature (ie over 50) skin. Many of the products I heard the sales ladies recommend over and over to different customers, simply look awful on most older women. And some of the skin care, yikes. But the store is fine. If you've seen one Ulta... Their It cc cream was on sale for $37! So score!! Lol"

"I went into store this last Saturday and was very disappointed with the makeup section. I was prepared to spend some money but the displays were very messy and I couldn’t find actual products to buy - only dirty looking samples. There was no one available to help either. But the girl at the checkout counter was very friendly - I didn’t get any expensive make up tho"

"I went to the Meridian Ulta for a haircut the other day and let me just say it is one of the BEST haircuts I have ever had. Kristen was the stylist and she did an excellent job. She’s super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about her profession. I would definitely recommend and will be a repeat customer."

"Meridian Ulta has an excellent staff. Destiny was very very helpful and knowledgeable. I shop this Ulta all the time and it's always 5 star to me."

"I have two separate incidences that have given me a pretty bad taste about this store. The first incident was a few weeks ago when I went to exchange an item on a Tuesday morning. I arrived at 9:45 AM and when I went to the door I saw that the sign said the store didn’t open until 10. I went back to my car and waited in the parking lot until 10:05 (because I didn’t wanna try to go in right at opening time). I went back to the door, which was locked. An employee came to the door and told me that they weren’t going to be open until 12 that day due to inventory. I said “oh did I miss a sign?” And looked around to make sure I hadn’t. She was rude and unapologetic and said “yeah we open at 12” and just left. The second thing that happened was last Friday 2/11. I came in with my friend and we spent about 2 hours shopping together and looking. My friend had a basket full of items she intended to purchase and I had put most of my items in her basket so I wasn’t carrying but maybe one thing around. We did nothing suspicious and, again, spent ample time in the store talking and shopping. When we got to the hair product section a sales associate approached us and started hovering really closely while my friend and I debated on what shampoo she should buy. She followed us around, staying only 2-4 feet away from either one of us at any given time and commenting on every single item we looked at. This went on for what felt like 10-15 minutes until finally my friend and I had had enough and decided to check out. When we got into the checkout line, another associate (Julie Rawson who I know because I used to go to church with her) came up and walked by my friend and I in the line. As she passed, she acted very strangely and was trying to see inside my purse. My friend checked out first and purchased over $500 worth of merchandise. She jokingly asked the cashier if they had any coupons laying around and the cashier was very cold and rudely replied “no, but you can apply for a credit card.” When my friend finished checking out she stood just past the checkout area and waited on me. While she was waiting, Julie and the other sales associate that has followed us around, were a few feet away having what appeared to be a very intense conversation and they were looking at us. My friend informed me that she overheard one of them say “she has it, it’s in the bag, I saw it.” I don’t know what she thinks she saw, but I have never stolen a thing in my life and neither has my friend. Not to mention, who would come in and spend 2 hours shopping and buy over $500 worth of stuff if they were shoplifting? I was so excited to get an Ulta in Meridian, but so far I have had two pretty significant negative experiences with our store. Hopefully they get some better management and learn good customer service or I will not be returning to this store."
