Aesthetician??

Aestheticians specialize in skin care.. Not hair! that's a little strange they would call it that rather than Salon or even Spa

They try to use big words and failed using them in a correct sentence.
Well...I guess we can change our skin and stuff so who knows.
Just doesn't sound right though. Beauty Palor!

aes·the·ti·cian or es·the·ti·cian (sth-tshn)
n.
1. One versed in the theory of beauty and artistic expression.
2. One skilled in giving facials, manicures, pedicures, and other beauty treatments.

aesthetician sometimes US, esthetician [ˌiːsθɪˈtɪʃən ˌɛs-]
n
1. a student of aesthetics
2. (Clothing, Personal Arts & Crafts / Hairdressing & Grooming) another name for beauty therapist

So hair care fits in the category perfectly.
They could have called them hairdressers, but that doesn't cover tattoos and related and barbershop is again, incomplete.

They chose a correct term albeit less used in similar contexts.

As a licensed Aesthetician I can tell you in no way is an Aesthetician allowed to style hair. Even the international credentials that lets you work among different countries does not include this. Just saying better words could have been used. It's like calling a General Doctor a Gynecologist when they really are a General Doctor.


edit: I think Stylist would be a better term.

Real world conventions/regulations aside it fits here just fine in my opinion.
The term itself, as it is used here, refers to altering the aesthetic of something, which can translate even in adding or removing tattoos and others.

Perhaps there were more appropriate terms when relating to real life but I personally dislike the ones mentioned: Beauty Salon, Spa, Salon...

Anyway, they may yet decide to go with another term by the time 2.1 comes out .

I'm very interested to know how the extreme mode primals will fit into the gear progression of characters right now. Hmm.

[Felis]

Maybe I've missed something, but I'm more interested in the details about this Pharos Sirius dungeon? I've yet to hear of it by this name. Has this been mentioned before?

It is mentioned in the storyline. It is the lighthouse at Aleport, with the undeads on the beach and the Siren. The tower is closed during the storyline.
