#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. </ref> Preferably one should cut his nails <ref> Mishna Brurah 468:5. Orchot Rabbeinu vol. 2 page 56 says this can be done without restrictions. Sha’ar HaTzion 468:7 writes that it is permitted to cut one’s nails after chatzos if he forgot to do so beforehand.</ref> and polish his shoes before mid-day. <ref> Yabia Omer 1:32, Shearim HaMitzuyanim BiHalacha 133:6, Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kihilchita 42 note 173, Piskei Teshuvos 468:4. Piskei Teshuvot 468:18 says polishing shoes is not allowed after [[chatzot]], as does the Kitzur HaShl"a quoted in Teshuvot Vihanhagot 1:301.  </ref> All of the leniencies that apply to [[chol hamoed]] in these cases apply to erev [[pesach]] also. <ref> Mishna Brurah 468:7. Rambam Hilchot [[Yom Tov]] 8:18 says that on erev [[pesach]] after [[chatzot]] it is asur to do melacha midirabanan like [[chol hamoed]] and it is more lenient than [[chol hamoed]].  </ref>
