The clue is "Salon workers, for short?", and the answer is "EDS".
I've spent hours trying to find an EXPLANATION for this answer.
Why are there so many sites that simply GIVE you the answer without any commentary?

3$\begingroup$ @QuestionAsker: This is not a cryptic crossword clue. Cryptic clues have two parts: a definition half and a wordplay half. This has only one, a definition. $\endgroup$ – Deusovi♦ Jul 24 '16 at 23:14

Salon is a news website - "eds" refers to "editors" here. The clue attempts to misdirect you into thinking of workers at a spa by putting the name at the beginning.
