Wherein to see the art of hairdressing? (5)
I believe the answer is:
salon
'art of hairdressing?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'wherein to see' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'see' could be 'lo' ('lo' is an archaic exclamation meaning 'look!') and 'lo' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'san' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salon that I've seen before include "Elegant room for receiving guests" , "Elegant room is great house for entertaining" , "Establishment of, say, beauty specialist" , "where cuts are commonplace" , "Reception room in grand house" .)
