Manicure on Rosh Chodesh
Question
It's rosh chodesh tonight and my nail broke off. I want to get them redone because I'm eating out with family on Shabbos and wouldn't want to leave my house with a broken nail as it looks really bad. The manicure would include cutting my nail, am I allowed to get it done tonight on rosh chodesh? Thanks
Answer
Thank you for your question,
The custom of Rabbi Yehudah Hachosid of not cutting hair or nails on Rosh Chodesh, does not apply to women, and therefore it is permitted for you to do the manicure tonight on Rosh Chodesh.
Wishing you all the best.
