# Although a person should certainly take a hair cut and shave before [[chatzot]], if a person forgot after chatzot he may get a non-Jew to cut his hair.<ref>Rav Wosner (Kovetz Mbet Levi v. 1 p. 42), Hilchot Chag Bchag (Pesach p. 254), Or Letzion 3:13:1, Otzar Halachot (v. 7 p. 409). 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.</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.</ref> | # Although a person should certainly take a hair cut and shave before [[chatzot]], if a person forgot after chatzot he may get a non-Jew to cut his hair.<ref>Rav Wosner (Kovetz Mbet Levi v. 1 p. 42), Hilchot Chag Bchag (Pesach p. 254), Or Letzion 3:13:1, Otzar Halachot (v. 7 p. 409).

* 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. Yalkut Yosef 468:7 permits a Jew to cut his own hair after chatzot if he forgot to cut it in the morning or beforehand.</ref> to sew new clothing,<ref> Rama 468:2 </ref> and to do laundry except by a non-Jew after mid-day.<ref> Mishna Brurah 468:7. Piskei Teshuvot 468:6 says that even for a Jew to use a washing machine is forbidden but says it is permitted to turn on the machine before mid-day even if it will do the washing afterwards. Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata ch. 42 fnt. 139 isn’t sure about laundry in a laundry machine.</ref> | #It is also forbidden to get a haircut or a shave unless by a non-Jew,<ref> Mishna Brurah 468:5.
