Rabbi 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Vital>Chaim 
Vital wrote in Sha'ar Ha-Kavanot that 
"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Luria>Isaac

BaOmer, according to the well-known custom." 
However, the age of his son is not mentioned. An 
obvious problem raised by Avraham Yaari, in an 
article in Tarbiz 22 (1951), is that many sources 
cite that the Arizal held one should not cut 
one's hair for the entire 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_of_the_Omer>sefirah 
– including Lag BaOmer, (see Shaarei Teshuva, O.C. 493, 8).
