Corona: Can’t get eyebrows done

April 26, 2020

Question

Before mikveh, I always get my eyebrows done professionally. I can’t do it at home and am actually really particular about it, and of course I can’t get them done now because of Corona. Is this a chatzitza? What am I supposed to do?

Answer

Hair on the head, body, or face, as long as it is clean and untangled, is not considered a chatzitzah. This is true even if it is your usual custom to remove it.

In this situation, you should do your best to make your brows look reasonably presentable from your perspective, and then immerse.
