There is no "Three Weeks" by Sephardim.
Anonymous, there is much confusion in the Ashkenazic community about the 3 weeks, 9 days, and Shavu'a Shehal Bo among Sepharadim. Your saying that there is no 3 weeks by Sepharadim is a very common mistake. Although it differs from the Ashkenazic practice, the concept of the 3 weeks is very much applied.
Very very briefly, here are the laws of the 3 weeks, 9 days, and Shevu'a Shehal Bo for Sepharadim according to Rav Ovadia Yosef ZT"L:
3 weeks - no music except for a seudat mitzva, no shehehiyanu
9 days - No weddings, or building or purchasing for joyous occasions. Starting from the 2nd of Av until the end of the 10th of Av - no meat
Shavu'a Shehal Bo - no shaving, hot showering, laundry, wearing laundered clothes
Thanks Yaak. there is also the custom observed by some to NOT travel long distances during the three weeks but I can't remember what the reason for this is, haven't had a chance to listen to the shiur so don't know if he mentions this.
