By Vaishnava tradition, shaving the head and nails should be done on Friday.
Sunday – Planet Sun.
Monday – Planet Moon. .
Tuesday – Planet Mars.
Wednesday – Planet Mercury.
Thursday – Planet Jupiter.
Friday – Planet Venus.
Saturn – Planet Saturn.
We can see here that the ruling planet of Saturday is Saturn or Shani, which is considered malefic in Jyoti Shastras .
Because Shani is traditionally considered to have an unfavourable influence, one should avoid inauspicious activities such as cutting nails and hair on that day.
