I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Feb 2014
Interview
I applied online and a few days later the general (store) manager called me to set up an interview with him for later that week. The interview was very conversational-like, which I appreciated. I talked a lot about what experience I had (much less than the job listing required) and I basically sold myself to him to prove I was deserving of the position. We also compared my current company with Ulta's with different job duties/practices they use. It was essentially half getting to know me as a person and half a back and forth Q&A. Definitely come prepared with lots of questions.
That same day we set up a second interview with the district manager for a week later. Her interview was a bit tougher and less relaxed. She asked a lot of situational questions and I had to sell myself to her more so. She even told me at one point, "I don't know what the GM saw in you." She even asked me what I would do if the ceiling caved in. It's all about selling yourself to the company and proving that you would be an asset/worth the risk to bring an outsider in.
I received a phone call the next day with a job offer from the GM.

Interview
I applied and got a call back the next day from the manager. She asked if I could come in the next day for an interview. I had 2 interviews, the first with the assistant manager. She was very sweet and asked me basic common sense retail questions. The second interview was the same only with the general manager and she pretty much asked me the same questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There really wasn't one. I think one that could be considered hard was how would you deal with an upset customer?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Rochester, NY)
Interview
Applied online, took about 2 months for them to call me. I had already accepted another job but was part-time so I went in for the interview. It was very generic and "highschool/entry level" type interview questions, most started with..give me an example of a time when.... (ex: give me an example of a time when you worked with someone who was dishonest, what did you do ..or "give me an example of a time you had to take charge..etc"). Got called back for a practical interview and got the job (have to do a basic facial, and basic eyebrow wax)

Question 1
Just difficult in the fact you had to really think about times when the most absurd questions they asked you actually happened in your job. I had to give a lot of examples from being in sports in HS.
