Name for a superior hair-style (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uriah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'superior hair-style' is the wordplay.
'superior' becomes 'U' (U can mean upper-class, as in U and non-U speech).
'style' indicates anagramming the letters (style can mean to shape or design).
'hair' is an anagram of 'riah'.
'u'+'riah'='URIAH'

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uriah that I've seen before include "'Umble --- Heep (Dickens)" , "Husband of Bathsheba" , "12 [HITTITE] officer" , "'Umble man from Dickens (first name)" , "Dickens hypocrite ..... Heep" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
