regarding the cutting of nails – it is still assur to cut them in order,if the manicurist is not a Jew? Non-Jews do not do taharas on a meis. Same question regarding mani-pedis done on the same day. Tie nails are not generally cut during a pedicure, but rather, filed. (Actually, the same typically holds true for a manicure). And what about women going to the Mikvah? Part of their hachanos is the cutting of nails. So unless they do their feet the previous day, it would seem that nails are being cut at both ends on the same day.
