Clip joint? (5)
I believe the answer is:
salon
'clip joint?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for salon that I've seen before include "Reception room - social gathering" , "Place of business for eg beautician" , "Loans out as a reception room" , "beautician's premises" , "Parisian art exhibition" .)
