Ulta’s early Black Friday discounts cluster at two numbers – 59 of the 112 Ulta offers we list (52%) are 30% off Ulta’s list price and 41 (36%) are 40% off. The 50% exceptions are two Lancôme Clarifique treatments, and the Shark FlexStyle is 33%. We read every Ulta price on Ulta.com on November 10. None of the listings state an end date.
How Ulta’s discounts are distributed
| Discount vs Ulta list price | Ulta deals we list |
|---|---|
| 50% | 2 |
| 40% | 41 |
| 35% | 5 |
| 33% | 1 |
| 30% | 59 |
| 29% | 1 |
| 25% | 3 |
Because most of the list sits at 30% or 40%, the discount alone does not separate good buys from filler. The useful filters are the rating, the review count, and whether you will use the product up. The median price of an Ulta deal on our list is $22.80, so most of these are small purchases where a wrong pick is cheap.

What to skip
- Products with a discount and no reviews to back them. A sale does not make a product that does not suit your hair worth buying.
- Stocking up on skincare actives you have not tried. Test a small size first.
- Any fragrance deal where the “was” price is far above what the same bottle sells for in other stores.
