I get a little bit confused about the words 'cosmetic' and 'beautician'. Is it ok to say that 'beautician' works as a 'cosmetic salon'? And is there a more professional word for a beautician?
thanks in advance :)

Hmm... I've never heard of a "beautician" before, but then again I don't really hang out in beauty parlors that much :lol:
Yes, there is a more formal term:
