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 «Beauty Services Specialist», «Makeup & Waxing Specialist», «Beauty Therapist», «Skincare and Make-up Advisor», and other variations.
