Question:
Is one allowed to cut hair other than head and facial hair during sefira (e.g. nose, ear, arms etc.)?
Answer:
Essentially the minhag not to cut hair applies to all hair of the body and not only to facial hair. However it is permitted for a woman to tweeze unsightly hair such as from her eyebrows nose ears, as this is not considered taking a haircut. (In general for a man, it is not permitted even not during sefira because of lo tilbash). A married woman may shave her legs if not shaving them will bother her husband.
