Attention all beauty lovers: Ulta Beauty is having grand openings this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Lady Lake Crossing beginning at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. respectively.

Villages-News.com was given a VIP sneak peek tour of the store on Thursday afternoon.

All beauty enthusiasts would definitely want to be one of the first 100 people to line up before the store’s openings. Why? The store is offering the first 100 customers a “beauty treat” valued from $5 to $100.

On top of the beauty treat, the store’s manager, Jennifer Brady, said that the first 100 customers can choose between receiving free hair service at the store’s salon or facial treatment at the dermatology station.
