Haircut on the Day After Tisha B’Av

Question

Is it permissible to get a haircut on the day after Tisha B’Av when it falls on a Thursday?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

In a regular year, it is permitted only after midday on the 10th of Av. This year, when Tisha B’Av falls on Thursday, it is permitted to get a haircut immediately after the fast, so that one will be groomed in honor of Shabbat.
