Haircut on kid is one way to ring the changes (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bob minor

'one way to ring the changes' is the definition.
(bell-ringing term)

'haircut on kid' is the wordplay.
'haircut' becomes 'bob' (I've seen this before).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'kid' becomes 'minor' ('minor' can be a synonym of 'kid').
'bob'+'minor'='BOB MINOR'

'is' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
