Ulta Beauty opened the doors of its new store in Sequim at 1065 W. Washington St., featuring 20,000 beauty products across 500 brands and offer a variety of beauty services.

General Manager Angela Moreau said the Sequim store brings some new beauty elements to the Olympic Peninsula, such as a M.A.C. boutique and the store’s skin bar, which provides services such as facials and skin care.

The store had a soft opening on May 4 and a grand opening on May 11 and Moreau said so far the store has received a positive response.

“The feel is really good in the community,” she said. “I’m really proud to be a part of this community.”

The store offers a multitude of cosmetics at high and low price points, from well-known brands such as M.A.C., Benefit, Estee Lauder and Clinique to more basic products.

It also provides fragrances, nail, hair and skin care products, professional hair tools and an Ulta Beauty collection. The company’s slogan “all things beauty, all in one place” fits with its wide inventory of products.

While the aisles of Ulta are stocked with thousands of items, Moreau said the company strives to provide more than a plethora of products.

“It’s not just another store,” she said. “It’s an experience.”

Moreau said the store will employ about 30 associates and beauty professionals, from specialized brand consultants to hair stylists. The store also includes a full-service hair salon for basic haircuts for men, women and children and some waxing and facial services.

Ulta Beauty is said to be the largest beauty retailer in the U.S. with 1,074 retail stores in 48 states and the District of Columbia. The closest store to Sequim is located in Silverdale.

“At Ulta Beauty we believe in giving guests beauty on their terms and creating a world of exploration,” Casey Foxen, who manages all grand openings for Ulta Beauty, said in a press release.

“In addition to products across all categories and price points, we also offer a full-service salon in every store featuring hair, skin and brow services,” she said. “Our Ulta Beauty experts are excited to bring the fun of beauty to Sequim beauty lovers.”

For its grand opening on May 11, the store gave away $10-$100 gift cards to the first 100 guests that shopped at the store last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The store also is offering 10 percent off his or her first salon or facial appointment.
