This clue might be a double definition.

'toothy hairdressing' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'assistant' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comb that I've seen before include "Device for tidying one's appearance" , "business storage unit" , "Disentangle" , "Toothed grooming implement" , "Common hair tidier" .)
