The answer

It is not permissible for a woman to remove the hair of a man who is a stranger to her, because this involves impermissible touching and seclusion. A man should undertake this task. As for the ruling on laser hair removal, it is permissible as long as there is no physical harm, with the exception of the beard and eyebrows. Attaching artificial nails is not permissible except for medical treatment, and it is not permissible for men if it involves imitating women. Attaching artificial eyelashes is forbidden because it falls under the category of adding to what God has created and altering God's creation.
