Ulta Early Black Friday 2026: the weekly beauty offers, exact Shark model and perfume restrictions

Start with a retailer-advertised future schedule, not a live price feed

Ulta's official Early Black Friday digital circular runs through November 21, 2026. The source is an interactive retailer advertisement that can require JavaScript, so static source text may not reproduce every weekly preview. This guide records the calendar and named product links identified in the October 29 ad review. As of October 29, the previewed discounts for October 30–November 21 are FUTURE advertisements, not proven active checkout totals or guaranteed stock. Revisit each item on its qualifying date. Ulta's separate online-only Cyber Monday event begins November 29 and is not included in these early-sale prices.

October 30–31: online-only Gucci and Burberry fragrance previews

Ulta's ad preview names 40% off Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum, with its promotional link identifying the 3.3-ounce SKU 2599239, and 50% off Burberry Touch for Men Eau de Toilette, linked to 1.7-ounce SKU 2090680. These are online-only two-day promotions. The linked Gucci page showed $188 regular and the Burberry page $93 before this window, but those figures were not verified promotional checkout totals. Burberry also offers a separate 5% replenish-and-save subscription quote; do not mistake it for the advertised 50% sale. Both products have air-shipping restrictions and are excluded from many generic coupons. Other advertised October 30–31 categories include selected Beekman 1802, Ellis Brooklyn, Bed Head and Made by Mitchell, each subject to its own eligibility.

November 1–7: the $199.99 Winter Pearl Shark is a specific product

The weekly Ulta advertisement advertises a $199.99 Shark FlexStyle Hair Blow Dryer & Multi-Styler for November 1–7 and links to Winter Pearl SKU 2661181. On October 29, the Winter Pearl product was currently listed for $229.99 versus $299.99 regular. The future advertisement is thus $30 below that observed amount, but NOT an active $199.99 checkout offer yet. This standard FlexStyle comes with an auto-wrap-curler/brush/concentrator combination. It is NOT the Strawberry Matcha FlexStyle IonCurl, which uses a different attachment kit and retailer item number. Most Shark Beauty coupons do not apply, and the November inventory and checkout total are unknown.

November 8–14: a generic IonCurl preview does not prove Strawberry Matcha eligibility

Ulta's early-sale preview advertises $279.99 on a selected FlexStyle IonCurl system November 8–14. The promotional link points to a general IonCurl listing, not the tracked Strawberry Matcha IonCurl SKU 2661207. That specific Strawberry Matcha item was separately listed at $349.99 on October 29 after a historical $249.99 observation October 10. Neither historical price nor same-family naming establishes that Strawberry Matcha qualifies for the November offer. Do not transfer the $279.99 price to that SKU without checking a matching product listing, model number, contents, shipping and stock during the event.

November 8–14 also advertises selected medicube and Ulta Collection reductions

The ad preview describes 30% off selected medicube products and 40% off selected Ulta Beauty Collection during November 8–14. 'Selected' is the operative condition: it does not mean every medicube device or kit, every Ulta Beauty Collection color or bundle, or any item sold at another retailer will be discounted. There is a separate current Ulta Beauty Collection body-care promotion ending November 7, which should not be blended with the later advertised offer.

November 15–21: BaBylissPRO and Snif selected-item discounts

The remaining weekly preview names 30% off selected BaBylissPRO hair tools and selected Snif fragrance for November 15–21. Exact products, color variants, size and shipping channel have not yet been checked at promotional prices. No general '30% off everything' or coupon stacking should be promised. Compare a named styling tool's full model number, warranty and needed attachments before accepting a later advertised category percentage.

How to validate the actual price when the date arrives

First click the linked Ulta product and confirm the exact SKU, size/color and seller. Then confirm the advertised offer applies on the day you plan to buy, including channel (online only, app only or in store), available quantity and checkout price. Do not calculate a discount from an old screenshot or assume a general coupon stacks. Compare taxes, delivery, local pickup, return eligibility and any fragrance shipping restrictions. Record the date and actual amount in your shopping list; these pages do not monitor Ulta inventory or automatically email price alerts.

Shop intentionally rather than chasing every event

A lower forecast or future advertised price is useful as a watch item, not a reason to buy unneeded products. Decide whether an early purchase is worth the total compared with your budget and the recipient's actual preferred product. If the offer sells out, do not invent that a different SKU or competing store honors it. Use the Deal Checker for manually checked exact-item comparisons; save the official circular and product pages as references.
