some kind of hairdresser, maybe the ones who style hair at shows? Chi è un pedanista e qual è il suo ruolo? E soprattutto, pedanisti si nasce o si diventa? Un corso esclusivo ad elevato livello di specializzazione teorico-pratica per migliorare e perfezionare la comunicazione con il pubblico, basato sull’esperienza di uno stilista di successo.

Explanation:
It sounds like it refers to hair stylists who are on stage/runway or whatever to demonstrate hairstyles, also in competitions.
That "comunicare con il pubblico" seems to point this way, as a hairstylist in a salon communicates exclusively with his/her customer!
Take a look at this site, as it refers to the competition aspect.
