Probably the only way is if you are young enough to qualify for a working holiday visa and are from the right country. How old are you and what's your citizenship? Where are you living now?

I am 28 and my residence is still in italy. Once I get work in whv will be easy to find someone willing to hire and extend my visa after? the legal English transcription of my 3 years diplomas will be considered ? I know that my Noc 6562 is not part of the fast and easy way to get a visa but I saw an option that allows me to get visa up to 2 years. Can I extend it later?

I'm assuming you are an Italian citizen? Residency and citizenship are two different things. If you aren't an Italian citizen, you'll have to tell us what citizenship you hold.

Assuming you are an Italian citizen, you can apply for a working holiday visa that will allow you to live and work in Canada for six months (not 2 years - those from Italy are only entitled to 6 months). It's really not possible for any of us to say how easy or difficult it will be to find a job once you get here.

Extending the work permit will likely be very difficult since the employer will have to give you a full time job offer and also go through the LMIA process to get an approved LMIA (this is a long and expensive process for the employer that requires them to prove no Canadian could be hired for the role). I think it's unfortunately quite unlikely an LMIA will be approved for a beautician job.

No idea. You'll have to check with WES directly.
