Question
From when is it permissible to get a haircut this year?
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to get a haircut and shave from Friday morning. This applies to both Ashkenazim and Sephardim
In a pressing situation [such as not having enough time on Friday or having an event that requires a haircut], one may get a haircut already on Thursday night. This permission does not apply to those who follow the opinion of the Arizal, z"l.
