Catch up in Franco's salon (5)
I believe the answer is:
lasso
'catch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'up in franco's salon' is the wordplay.
'up' says the letters should be written backwards (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ossal' is hidden in the letters of 'francos salon'.
'ossal' reversed gives 'LASSO'.
(Other definitions for lasso that I've seen before include "Cowboy's noosed rope" , "Rope for catching livestock" , "A cowboy's rope with a running noose" , "Ling-nosed rope" , "Cattle-catching rope" .)
