13dn is Barbershop

I guess 'Rubiks Cube' has to be right. I can see the anagram of 'sick' but can't see the rest of it.

I'm struggling on the rest of the bottom half of this, though.

But why Rubik's cube?

[Lie-in King]

18a Rubik's cube (twisted puzzle) - anag 'sick' + 'U(niversal)' ("anyone can see") (all in) 'rubbe(r)' ("solver's assistant")
