Present hairstyle, cut by pro (7)
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" .)
