Q. Given the choice, is it a bigger mitzvah to get a haircut erev Shabbos HaGadol or erev Pesach? (We are not talking about someone who is desperately in need of a haircut, but just in general, if one has a choice, which should he prefer?).

A. Horav Shlomo miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it may depend on different factors such as time availability and of course need. On erev Pesach the haircut is permitted only before chatzos (midday).
