Haircut on Rosh Chodesh for Women - For Wigs
Question
Shalom uVracha,My wife is a wig stylist, and she both cuts and buys women’s hair. She advertised that she’ll be cutting hair on the first day of Rosh Chodesh at a certain place.My question is twofold: (a) Is there any issue of doing this kind of work on the eve of the first night of Rosh Chodesh? (b) Regarding the Tzava’ah of R’ Yehudah HaChassid, does that apply to women as well?And if there is an issue, can one be lenient since she already advertised?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
The custom is to be lenient and allow women to cut their hair on Rosh Chodesh.
