Founded in 1990, Ulta Beauty now operates over 1,200 stores across the U.S. and Canada, blending high‑end brands like Dior, Estée Lauder and Gucci with affordable drugstore staples. Shoppers can purchase skincare, makeup, and haircare in one trip and also enjoy in‑store services such as brow shaping, hair styling, and ear piercing.

Through July 2026, the promo code SCORE grants 20% off qualifying items, both in‑store and online. Customers must present the code at checkout, either printed or on their phone. The discount excludes salon services, ear piercing, and third‑party marketplace sales, so shoppers should read the fine print carefully.

Ulta’s free Beauty Rewards program lets members earn points on every dollar spent—1 point for standard members, 1.25 for Platinum, and 1.5 for Diamond. Points never expire and can be redeemed for discounts ranging from $3 to $30. Birthday month members enjoy extra points, free gifts, and exclusive coupons.

Historical Background

Ulta began as a single boutique in California, focusing initially on cosmetics and skincare. By 2007 the chain introduced its first BrowBar, allowing customers to book professional brow services on‑site. This expansion into salon‑style services cemented Ulta’s position as a one‑stop beauty destination.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that seasonal promo codes drive a 12% surge in footfall for Ulta stores, while online redemption spikes by 18% during July. Consequently, these codes not only deliver immediate savings but also accelerate the brand’s sales cycle.

"Ulta’s promo strategy is among the most compelling in the beauty sector, attracting price‑sensitive shoppers while reinforcing loyalty," says industry analyst Anita Sharma.
