Cutting Fingernails and Toenails

Question

Can I cut my finger nails if I got a pedicure and they cut my toe nails today already

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question

Generally, one should not cut their toenails on the same day as their fingernails (unless there is a medical reason etc.) One should either cut the toenails at night and the fingernails during the day, or vice versa, unless it is Erev Shabbos.
