I believe the answer is:

manicure

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

'hands' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'guy has a single remedy' is the wordplay.
'guy' becomes 'man ' (guy can informally mean a man).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a single' becomes 'I' (one).
'remedy' becomes 'cure' (synonyms).
'man'+'i'+'cure'='MANICURE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manicure that I've seen before include "Trim" , "Care of hands and fingernails" , "Cosmetic care of the hands" , "A numeric approach to care of the hands" , "Hands/nails treatment" .)
