Most Ulta Beauty stores run 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday to Saturday and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. The salon inside keeps its own hours and takes its last appointment well before the store closes, which is the detail that matters if you are booking rather than shopping. Below you’ll find store hours, salon and brow bar schedules, and every holiday.
Ulta extends its hours substantially through November and December and runs long days during its big semi-annual sale events, so the schedule in a quiet month is not the one that applies during a sale.
Ulta Beauty hours today at a glance
Ulta Beauty Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
Sunday is shorter at both ends, typically 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Ulta hours tomorrow will match today unless tomorrow is a Sunday or a holiday, with extended hours in December and during the big sale events.
Ulta Salon, Brow Bar and Service Hours
The salon runs on appointments and its practical closing time is earlier than the store’s by the length of whatever service you want. A color appointment can run two to three hours, so the last bookable color slot may be five hours before the store closes. A blow-dry or a brow service is short enough to fit later in the evening. The salon’s posted hours tell you when the last stylist leaves, not when you can still book.
The brow bar operates separately from the hair salon at most locations and takes walk-ins alongside appointments, though walk-in availability collapses at weekends. Skin services, where offered, are appointment-only and have the narrowest window of the three, often finishing in the early evening.
Fragrance and prestige brand counters sometimes have brand-specific staff on limited days rather than every day the store is open. If you want a consultation with a particular brand’s representative rather than general help, that is a schedule worth asking about rather than assuming.
Ulta Beauty Closing Hours
Closing time is the part people most often get wrong, because the service counters inside the store shut before the building does. The table above gives the published closing time for each day. As a rule, arrive at least thirty minutes before close for a full trip, and check the department times below if you need a specific counter.

Ulta Beauty Department Hours
Salon hours are set per location and depend on which stylists are scheduled that day, so the published window can differ from what is actually bookable. Call or book online rather than walking in for anything longer than a trim.
Ulta Beauty Holiday Hours 2026
Ulta Beauty closes on 2 of the fifteen dates below. Everything else runs either regular hours or an early close, and the table covers all of them.
Ulta Beauty New Year’s Day Hours
Ulta stores are generally open on New Year’s Day, frequently opening later than usual. The salon is often closed or on a reduced schedule.
Ulta Beauty Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hours
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an ordinary day at Ulta Beauty, with no change to the schedule. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 10:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM as usual. The salon closes earlier than the store on holidays.
Ulta Beauty Presidents Day Hours
Presidents Day does not affect Ulta Beauty hours. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 10:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM as usual. The salon closes earlier than the store on holidays.
Ulta Beauty Easter Sunday Hours
Ulta practice on Easter Sunday varies, with a number of stores closing for the day. Where the store opens, the salon is usually closed. The Saturday before is heavily booked for salon services.
Ulta Beauty Memorial Day Hours
Memorial Day is an ordinary day at Ulta Beauty, with no change to the schedule. Expect it to be busier than a normal weekday rather than quieter, because plenty of people have the day off and spend it running errands.
Ulta Beauty Independence Day Hours
Stores run the standard schedule on Independence Day. Federal offices and banks shut on this date, which pushes more foot traffic into retail, so late morning tends to be heavier than usual. The salon closes earlier than the store on holidays.
Ulta Beauty Labor Day Hours
Labor Day does not affect Ulta Beauty hours. Doors open at 10:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM, the same as any other day of the week.
Ulta Beauty Columbus Day Hours
Columbus Day is an ordinary day at Ulta Beauty, with no change to the schedule. The store itself is unaffected, so the only real difference is the size of the crowd.
Ulta Beauty Veterans Day Hours
Ulta Beauty stays open on Veterans Day and keeps its usual hours. Expect it to be busier than a normal weekday rather than quieter, because plenty of people have the day off and spend it running errands. The salon closes earlier than the store on holidays.
Ulta Beauty Thanksgiving Day Hours
Ulta is closed on Thanksgiving Day, store and salon. The chain stopped opening on Thanksgiving and now reopens on Black Friday, generally earlier than its usual time.
Ulta Beauty Black Friday Hours
Ulta is open on Black Friday and most stores open early, commonly around 6:00 AM. It is one of the two biggest days of the year for the chain, alongside the semi-annual sale, and the first two hours are by far the heaviest. The salon usually runs a normal schedule and books out in advance.
Ulta Beauty Cyber Monday Hours
Ulta is open on Cyber Monday with regular hours. The promotion runs online, and the main in-store effect is a steady flow of order pickups through the week.
Ulta Beauty Christmas Eve Hours
Ulta is open on Christmas Eve and closes early, commonly around 6:00 PM, with the salon finishing earlier. Gift sets are heavily picked over by then, and the last two weeks of December are the busiest salon period of the year.
Ulta Beauty Christmas Day Hours
Ulta is closed on Christmas Day at every location. Stores reopen on December 26th, often on extended hours, with heavy returns and clearance traffic.
Ulta Beauty New Year’s Eve Hours
Ulta is open on New Year’s Eve and many stores close early. The salon is heavily booked that day for blow-dries and makeup, so appointments go well in advance.
Ulta Beauty Saturday and Sunday Hours
Ulta Beauty Saturday hours
Saturday hours at Ulta Beauty are 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, which is different from the weekday schedule. Expect the busiest few hours of the week between about 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Anything that needs a member of staff is far easier first thing.
Ulta Beauty Sunday hours
On Sunday, Ulta Beauty runs 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which is shorter than the rest of the week. The afternoon is the crowded half of the day. Departments that need specialist staff are the ones most likely to be thinly covered on a Sunday, even when the store itself looks fully open.
How to Check Ulta Beauty Hours Before You Go
The times above hold at most Ulta Beauty locations, though yours can differ and holiday hours are frequently decided at store level. If the trip matters, confirm it one of these three ways:
- The official Ulta Beauty locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- Google’s listing for that specific location. Holiday hours tend to appear there a week or two ahead, so it is a useful second opinion.
- A phone call. It is the only one of the three that catches a same-day change, whether that is weather, staffing or a local emergency.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Ulta Beauty is at its busiest and least likely to pick up the phone quickly.
Ulta Busiest Times and When to Book the Salon
The store peaks on weekend afternoons, Saturday heaviest, and the checkout rather than the floor is usually the bottleneck. Weekday mornings after opening are the quietest, and that is also when you can get real time with a staff member for a color match or a skincare question rather than a thirty-second answer.
The salon has its own rhythm. Saturday books out first, often a week or more ahead, and evening slots after work go before daytime ones. Two periods are genuinely hard to book: the two weeks before Christmas, and the run-up to prom and wedding season in late spring. January and early February are the easiest months of the year for a salon appointment at short notice.
Alternative Stores to Ulta Beauty
These are the stores people switch to when Ulta Beauty is closed or too far. Bath & Body Works Hours, Sephora Hours and Kohl’s Hours are the closest matches, and their hours are set independently.
Worth checking the specific page before you travel, since these chains differ from Ulta Beauty most on the holidays rather than on a normal weekday.
