Reply To: cutting fingernails

to cinderella: yes you should not cut in order even when having a manicure and washing your hands applies as well, the manicurist does not have to wash her hands. In terms of getting rid of nails the ruach ra applies if the nails are in a place where they fall. Obviously by a salon this is very common a manicurist should sweep away the nails to an area away from where they fall to avoid this. BTW Women can have finger and toe nails done on same day
