master craftsman
Explanation:
This is a venerable term in English from the days of the medieval craft guilds, but I think it's suitable here. "Maestro de taller" in Ecuador is a professional category, the highest category of "artesano" and the only one that requires a formal paper qualification. The following is from Ecuador's Código del Trabajo:
"Art. 285 [...]
Se considera artesano al trabajador manual, maestro de taller o artesano autónomo que, debidamente registrado en el Ministerio de Trabajo y Empleo, hubiere invertido en su taller en implementos de trabajo, maquinarias o materias primas, una cantidad no mayor a la que señala la ley, y que tuviere bajo su dependencia no más de quince operarios y cinco aprendices [...]
Art, 286. Maestro de taller.- Para ser maestro de taller se requiere:
1. Ser mayor de dieciocho años y tener título profesional conferido legalmente;
2. Abrir, bajo dirección y responsabilidad personal, un taller y ponerlo al servicio del público; y,
3. Estar inscrito en la Dirección Nacional de Empleo y Recursos Humanos.
[...]
Art. 293.- Maestro de taller es empleador.- El maestro de taller es empleador respecto de sus operarios y aprendices, con las limitaciones determinadas en la Ley de Defensa del Artesano."

As you can see here, the term "master craftsman" is currently used by the UK government to refer to similarly qualified craftsmen in certain European countries:

So "taller" here is a production workshop, not a teaching workshop, and this kind of "maestro" is not, formally speaking, a teacher but a skilled qualified practitioner and manager/employer (though presumably maestros have some role in on-the-job training of apprentices and workers in their workshops).

Yes, "master craftswoman" for a woman. It may sound a little strange to call a cosmetologist a craftswoman, but in Ecuador cosmetology is evidently classified as an "artesanía", a craft. This is really the name of a qualification, application to any field legally classified in Ecuador as a "craft", and by extension that of a profession.
The word "craft" is not alien to this field in English:
"Bayshire Academy of Beauty Craft"

"The San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology [...]
For me, it was more than a degree, it was a craft I could be proud of."

Sorry: I meant "applicable to", not "application to", in the first paragraph of my last note.

How about this:

Linda Ciana is a master craftswoman."
