I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty
Interview
The interview process was short, we went over my background. The Gm asked my career goals, what she was looking for in an employee, what the job involved. She asked if i had questions for her, so make sure you come prepared. Also research the company, look into the values of the company. This will help shape your answers to the questions to go along with company values
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Cedar Falls, IA) in Sep 2014
Interview
We had a new store opening in our area so I stalked the listings online. When they were posted, I had to submit my standard application and work experience, plus I had to fill out a long survey online that screened for integrity, honest, work ethic, social skills, etc. Pretty standard in retail. I got a call a couple weeks after applying and was asked to come in and do an in-person interview.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
I filled out the application online and started calling locations within my area because I could not fill out more than one application for different areas. Everyone was hiring, but I was not receiving any call backs. 3 weeks later after finally receiving word that my reciprocity (basically my cosmetology license) was switched to GA from TX. I called one location on a Thursday and asked to speak with the salon manager about a hairstylist position and I got a call back in a couple hours and had a mini interview over the phone and was asked to come in for a sit down the following Monday to talk about the basics of their expectations and see if I would still be interested in moving forward with a technical interview (a color,cut, and highlight timed for two hours). My application was lost in the system so the manager had to contact HR which to me felt like forever!! I agreed to move forward even though she still did not have my application and came in the following Monday with my own model and showed my skills. The salon manager was pleased with my skills coming straight out of school but told me that we could not move forward without my application, to wait for a call back on Wednesday. She did not call, so I called on Thursday and she had my application finally. I was then offered the position with a 90 day probationary period to see if I have made any progression and fit as a stylist. Just waiting on a background check (I was told takes about 2-3 days) to start working by next week.The process was long to finally get a call back for an interview, but once started, it took my interview process about two weeks.
