Beauty School Grad Krissy Targets the Newest Salon in Town

We rejoin Krissy, who decided shortly after completing cosmetology school that she would like to work at the ULTA Salon in her town, Portage, Michigan. Although she’d taken a different job right out of beauty school, she seized an opportunity to jump

to ULTA.

“I chose to work at ULTA because I knew it was going to be a huge hit in Portage,” explains Krissy, who was hired within a month of the location’s grand opening. “I knew that everyone would be interested in the new store and we’d get really good word-of-mouth advertising, since ULTA carries everything. Just like the advertisement says, ULTA is the store AND salon on everyone’s lips! We definitely needed something like this in Portage, and I knew people would be intrigued enough to come in and especially to try out the salon! Also, I was always worried about being the “new girl” in the salon—the only one who was slow and didn’t have a huge clientele; I was scared of having to meet huge quotas and the push to get busy. But at ULTA even though other stylists might not be as new to the profession as I was, at least they would all be new to the salon. I have always been a huge believer in ULTA and am always excited to tell people about the store and salon. It’s exciting!”

Krissy discovers that working is not the same as attending beauty school. I’ll tell you all about her experiences next time!
