Person tidying Barnet Hospital, bearing furniture item (11)

I believe the answer is:

hairdresser

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

'person tidying barnet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hospital bearing furniture item' is the wordplay.
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital).
'bearing' becomes 'air' (both can mean an attitude or pose).
'furniture item' becomes 'dresser' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'air'+'dresser'='HAIRDRESSER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hairdresser that I've seen before include "Lock smith?" , "Stylist" , "cutter?" , "Coiffeur, coiffeuse" .)
