There is an even stricter opinion of Pri Chadash 468:1 who forbids even getting a non-Jew to cut his hair on erev pesach after midday.

			* There is a major question why it isn't permitted to cut your own hair on erev pesach after chatzot. Magen Avraham 468:3 writes that anything which is permitted on chol hamoed is permitted on erev pesach after chatzot. That includes tzorech hamoed and cutting hair should be tzorech hamoed (as is evident from Moed Katan 14a). On chol hamoed it is forbidden only because of a gezerah, lest a person not cut his hair before the moed, but that shouldn't apply to erev pesach. Also, even if that gezerah did apply to erev pesach it should be forbidden even if a non-Jew cuts the hair, similar to chol hamoed.

			* Rav Moshe (Mesorat Moshe v. 3 p. 126-7) was bothered with this. He said that it appears that there is a gezerah not to cut one's hair after chatzot so that a person does it beforehand.

			* Tefilah Lmoshe 4:35:4 quotes Zera Emet and Chikrei Lev who answer that it is forbidden to cut one's hair after chatzot since it is possible to do so before chatzot. Tefilah Lmoshe challenges this because it should still be permitted as a tzorech hamoed.

			* Tefilah Lmoshe answers that erev pesach after chatzot is like a holiday in it of itself so it is forbidden to do a tzorech hamoed for yom tov, which is a different holiday.</ref> A minority opinion permits cutting it yourself after chatzot if he cannot find a non-Jew to do it.<ref>Nitai Gavriel Pesach v. 2 p. 251, 46:5 based on Chazon Ovadia p. 89 and Shaarim Hametzuyim Bhalacha 113. Yalkut Yosef 468:7 permits shaving yourself if you forgot to do it after chatzot. He doesn't require getting a non-Jew. Rav Moshe Levi (Tefilah Lmoshe 4:35) permits cutting one's hair on erev pesach after chatzot onself but not by someone else. Also, he doesn't allow shaving.</ref>
	#It is also forbidden to get a haircut or a shave unless by a non-Jew,<ref> Mishna Brurah 468:5. There is a discussion in the poskim as to whether it is prohibited for a Jew to give himself a haircut. The implication of the Rama in Yoreh Deah 399:3 is that it is permitted for one to give himself a haircut. However, later poskim dispute the issue. For example, see Shulchan Aruch HaRav 468:4 who rules that this is prohibited.

	* A close analysis of the Rambam indicates a different understanding of this prohibition. Initially, one may be confused as to whether the Rambam thinks this prohibition is due to the korban Pesach or more general Yom Tov concerns. On one hand, the Rambam places this prohibition in Hilchos Yom Tov (8:17-18) and not in Hilchos Korbon Pesach. He places the issur alongside the issur to perform melacha (from zman mincha and on) by other Yomim Tovim. Additionally, the Rambam compares this issur to that of Chol HaMoed and refers to both prohibitions as midivrei sofrim. On the other hand, however, the Rambam explains that the prohibition on erev pesach is more pronounced because of the shechitas hapesach and chagiga. This seems to be highlighting the prohibition’s connection to the korbon Pesach. To answer this question, we may be able to suggest that the Rambam thinks that the hakrava of the korbon Pesach generates a quasi-yom tov with its own unique issur melacha. The practical impossibility of bringing the korbon Pesach does not cause the “Yom Tov” of korbon Pesach to cease to exist. (See the Shulchan Aruch HaRav (Orach Chayim 468:1) for a variation of this approach. The Ba’al HaTanya claims that the general prohibition to perform melacha on the day that one brings a korbon is rabbinic in nature. The issur melacha on erev pesach is an extension of this general principle. Hence, erev Pesach is a rabbinic yom tov that was placed on all of am Yisroel.)		* A close analysis of the Rambam indicates a different understanding of this prohibition. Initially, one may be confused as to whether the Rambam thinks this prohibition is due to the korban Pesach or more general Yom Tov concerns. On one hand, the Rambam places this prohibition in Hilchos Yom Tov (8:17-18) and not in Hilchos Korbon Pesach. He places the issur alongside the issur to perform melacha (from zman mincha and on) by other Yomim Tovim. Additionally, the Rambam compares this issur to that of Chol HaMoed and refers to both prohibitions as midivrei sofrim. On the other hand, however, the Rambam explains that the prohibition on erev pesach is more pronounced because of the shechitas hapesach and chagiga. This seems to be highlighting the prohibition’s connection to the korbon Pesach. To answer this question, we may be able to suggest that the Rambam thinks that the hakrava of the korbon Pesach generates a quasi-yom tov with its own unique issur melacha. The practical impossibility of bringing the korbon Pesach does not cause the “Yom Tov” of korbon Pesach to cease to exist. (See the Shulchan Aruch HaRav (Orach Chayim 468:1) for a variation of this approach. The Ba’al HaTanya claims that the general prohibition to perform melacha on the day that one brings a korbon is rabbinic in nature. The issur melacha on erev pesach is an extension of this general principle. Hence, erev Pesach is a rabbinic yom tov that was placed on all of am Yisroel.)
