Some observe from second day of Pesach until Lag (Day 33) Ba’omer and some observe from Rosh Chodesh Iyar until three days before Shavuos. The prohibitions of the Omer period are not listening to music, not attending weddings and celebrations and not shaving or getting haircuts. If you observe the time from second day of Pesach the limitation on haircutting and shaving begins on Pesach. The music and celebration limitations begin with the end of Pesach.
