Ulta Return Policy – How to Return or Exchange

In-Store Purchases

You can now return items to any Ulta Beauty store, and one of their associates will help you.

If you are within the 60 day return policy and provide a purchase receipt, we will refund your money back to the original form of payment. If you do not provide a proof of purchase, you will receive an in-store credit.

When taking advantage of an item’s exchange privilege, no money will be needed in return. Simply bring in the item and you are all set! If you decide on a higher priced item, though, then it may come with a difference in price and sales tax due.

On the other hand, if you get back something of lower value than what was at first exchanged, you will receive the difference in price and sales tax.
