Answer
Greetings,
According to the custom of the Sephardim, it is permitted to shave on the night following Tisha B'Av immediately (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 558:4), while according to the custom of the Ashkenazim, one should not shave until midday on the tenth of Av (Mishnah Berurah 558:23).
Best regards,
Hillel Meirs
