==Haircuts==
# Many believe that it is forbidden to get a haircut from someone of the opposite gender as this is considered to be a display of affection.<ref>Yitzchak Yeranen 2:1</ref>
# However, some say that there is some room to be lenient if one can be sure that the contact is not affectionate and it has no chance of leading to inappropriate thoughts.  One still must be very careful in this situation and it is best not to be lenient in this issue.<ref>10 minute Halacha on Female Barbers by Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz (17:20)</ref>
