Present hairstyle, cut by pro (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perform

'present' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hairstyle cut by pro' is the wordplay.
'hairstyle' becomes 'perm' (perm is a hairstyle).
'cut by' indicates putting letters inside (some letters cut their way into a word).
'pro' becomes 'for' (I've seen this in another clue).
'perm' placed around 'for' is 'PERFORM'.

(Other definitions for perform that I've seen before include "Do a good job" , "Carry out (action)" , "act on stage" , "seen to make a profit?" , "Carry out; act" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
