Well, it has a lot to to with folklore and some religious precepts. In India, traditionally barbers take Tuesday off. They do not work on Tuesdays. Now with urbanisation, may be you find barber saloons open on Tuesdays, too.
But conventionally, barbers shut shop on Tuesdays. So shaving or hair cut is taboo on Tuesdays. Secondly, India being a basically rural agrarian community, people finished off chores lke hair cut in mornings. ASnd, babbers took rest in the afternoon and atg night. Moreov er, there was n electricity and cutting hair at night is fraught with dangers. So there must be a taboo on cutting hair at night.
The same applies to nails.
Saturday is the day of Saturn. So some commun ities folow the practice of not cutting hair or nails on Saturdays.
Another little known fact. Monday is the dayu of Siva. In some form s, he has shown matted hair, even b eard and moustaches. So Siva followers do not cut hair or nails on Monday. (For the uninitated Siva is one of the Hindu trinity, known as trimurti.
