Gilad Goldstein: A Journey Fueled by Education and Growth Gilad started his career at The Salon at Ulta Beauty in Harrisburg, PA, in 2014, later relocating to Ulta Beauty NYC. "My journey with Ulta began when I was about 19 years old," he says. "It was my first step away from the salon I assisted at through high school. At the time, I wanted a salon with strong foot traffic so I could grow my clientele. The Salon at Ulta Beauty was the perfect fit." Ulta Beauty has opened the doors to traveling, showcasing my work on stage, collaborating on photo shoots and introducing me to lifelong friends in the industry. —Gilad Goldstein Gilad auditioned for and joined the Design Team in 2014 in order to help achieve his dreams. "I had always envisioned traveling, showcasing my work on stage, and collaborating on creative photo shoots," he says. "Not only did the Ulta Beauty Design Team open those doors, but it also introduced me to lifelong friends and collaborators in the industry." "I look forward to continue partnering with Ulta Beauty to create education that helps up-skill our stylists and give them fresh ideas to share with their guests," continues Gilad. "I'm also thrilled to begin a new partnership with Redken and connect with a legacy community of education icons. I can't wait to learn from them and continue developing my own skills through this collaboration." Models, clients, peers—everyone has something to teach. Listen more than you speak and stay curious, and you'll continue growing both as an artist and a person. —Gilad Goldstein Justin Toves-Vincilione: Confidence, Growth and Paying it Forward Justin began his Ulta Beauty journey in Roseville, CA, in 2014, and joined the Design Team in 2018. "I chose to work at Ulta Beauty because of the company's ability to support me as a stylist," he explains. "I started the day after earning my license and stayed because I consistently grew—financially and artistically—year in and year out."

"It takes a lot of nerve to step up and say, 'I've got something to show you,'" he relates. "I look forward to doing the exact same thing for hairstylists who may need some help believing in themselves. My plan is to lead with unfiltered education, ego-less mentorship and an authentic approach to helping others rise to what it means to be a hairstylist in today's world."

"Their journey reflects the empowering culture we strive to build, where every associate can dream big and achieve more." Oftentimes, new hairdressers struggle to get good mentorship and on-the-job training. Ulta hopes that Justin and Gilad, as well as the company's many opportunities, help bridge that gap. "If someone is just starting in this industry, they can now look up to the icons on the Ulta Beauty Pro Team and see a clearly defined path of how to get there," Megan explains. "Justin and Gilad started as unseasoned stylists, worked hard and progressed beautifully through their careers at Ulta Beauty. From building a clientele, to auditioning to earn a spot on the Design Team, to becoming a mentor, they have taken full advantage of every opportunity Ulta Beauty provides to learn, lend expertise and be creative." As members of the Pro Team, Gilad and Justin can relate to and speak about careers at Ulta Beauty from their own successfully lived experience, says Murray. "They've grown with Ulta Beauty and now Ulta Beauty is growing with them."
