To ensure absolute clarity, Cerulean assigns a standardised, industry-coherent canonical title to every listing. However, it is worth noting that this role is functionally synonymous with «Licensed Beauty Advisor», «Licensed Esthetician», «Beauty Artist», «Makeup & Waxing Specialist», and other variations.
