I would think that when the scabs are gone, you'd be good to go.

I would wait a good 2 maybe even 3 weeks. Why? Simply because you just spent thousands of dollars on this!!!!! I have heard of guys washing their hair in the sink for 3 months, and won't hit their scalp with more than lukewarm water out of cup. Listen, the grafts should be seated after a week, but why chance it? Also, give the newly transplanted fella's a chance to breathe I am sure it is ok after a couple of weeks, but why take the chance?

Thanks for the info B spot... What time frame should I wait to get a hair cut?

You're talking about cutting your native hair after HT, right? Because the grafted hair will eventually fall out anyway.

I'm now 6 days after HT and I cut my sides and back to match the "burr" on top. I was VERY, VERY careful not to run into the grafted hair while doing so. Additionally, I was mindful not to hold the clippers against my head because of what the vibration might do to the grafts. I think after they are seated, a week or so as B spot said, it would be safe but wanted to error on the side of caution.
