- For those who are makpid on following Rav Yehuda Hachasid that there should be no haircuts, shaving or cutting nails on Rosh Chodesh, presumably because of sakana. The Mishna Berura writes specifically that this minhag applies even when Rosh Chodesh is on Friday.
However, there is a shita of Reb Yaakov Kaminetzky ztl who said that the Minhag not to take a haircut on Friday only applies to a one day Rosh Chodesh. Then there is an option to take a haircut on Thursday, which is still considered L’kovid Shabbos. When Rosh Chodesh is two days, taking a haircut Wednesday would not be considered in honor of Shabbos. In that case Reb Yaakov held one could and should take the haircut on Friday, the second day of Rosh Chodesh. Follow your minhag or speak to your LOR
