An extremely fair woman in Barnet (3,6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ash blonde

bar magnet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an extremely fair' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'woman in barnet' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'mag' ().
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mag' going within 'barnet' is 'BAR MAGNET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bar magnet that I've seen before include "Attractive block of metal" , "attracting stick?" , "Attractive thing" , "something attractive?" , "Oblong attractor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
