Ulta’s teen hiring page says it hires applicants 16 and up in select states , but not in NJ, TN, or TX. For many store roles, that means 16-year-olds may be eligible , while some positions still require you to be older depending on the job and location.

Quick Scoop

  • Minimum age: 16 in select states.
  • Common note: Some older sources still say 18, but Ulta’s current teen careers page is more specific and more up to date.
  • Best next step: Check the specific store’s posting or ask the location, since local labor rules and role type can change the requirement.

What this means

If you’re 16 or 17 , you can apply for certain retail roles at Ulta where allowed. If you’re in New Jersey, Tennessee, or Texas , that teen hiring page says the teen roles do not apply there.
