Q1: Is a blow-dry included in the price of an Ulta haircut?
A1: Yes, the signature haircut includes a wash and standard blowout. If you want extensive hot tool styling, like curling or flat ironing, stylists typically add a $15 to $20 thermal styling charge.
Q2: Why does an Ulta hair gloss cost extra after getting highlights?
A2: Ulta considers highlights and toners separate chemical processes. The lightening service lifts natural pigment, while the subsequent toner or gloss balances the tone to your desired shade. That additional processing bowl adds $30 to $45 to your receipt.
Q3: Can I tip my Ulta stylist using reward points or credit cards?
A3: Tipping cannot be covered using Ulta Beauty Rewards points. While tips can be added to credit card charges at the front register, many stylists prefer cash or direct digital transfers via Venmo and Zelle.
