Bedraggled Stoic came in to see beauty consultant in New York (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cosmetician

'beauty consultant in new york' is the definition.
(US term for a beautician)

'bedraggled stoic came in' is the wordplay.
'bedraggled' indicates an anagram.
'stoic'+'came'+'in'='stoiccamein'
'stoiccamein' anagrammed gives 'COSMETICIAN'.

'to see' is the link.
