That's not to say that she doesn't use other types ever. I mean, her Beautician thing or whatever that thing is called is clearly something done by Conjuration, and I don't doubt some Manipulation is used. But the fact that her basic nature is a Transmuter is a stated fact.
Again: It's like Razor, who is an Emitter, but still uses the devils to great effect.

Altering bodies is
not clearly transmutation. Transmutation, as far as we've ever seen, is 100% about manipulation of the aura itself. That's why we see training exercises like forming numbers from 0-9. It's about fine-tuned control of what your aura is. The examples we see of transmutation hatsu are people who give tendrils of aura specific and useful properties. Gum, string, electricity... not one of them changes the form of a pre-existing object. Based on what we know of the categories, that sort of change is far more likely to be manipulation. Don't get too caught up on the name and ignore literally everything else we've ever been told.
