Question

Hello, Honorable Rabbi. My son studies in a small yeshiva. According to the head of the yeshiva, his hair is too long. And he wants him to get a haircut now during the Omer. But my wife is not willing without approval from a rabbi. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello, 

I assume the yeshiva will allow him to wait until Friday - Lag BaOmer. 

If they do not allow him, because he has an unusual haircut, etc., you should ask the rabbis of the yeshiva if they believe he is permitted to get a haircut in this situation before Lag BaOmer, and rely on their answer.
