Harry pleased it removes hair (9)
I believe the answer is:
depilates
'removes hair' is the definition.
(to depilate is to remove hair)
'harry pleased it' is the wordplay.
'harry' indicates an anagram (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'pleased'+'it'='pleasedit'
'pleasedit' is an anagram of 'DEPILATES'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
