"nous nous sommes fait faire les ongles" 

Why is "fait" not "faites" that multiple females had their nails done?

Hi Ann,

If you take a look at my answer to Liz, you will see that there is no agreement in the case of ‘se faire faire’ :

Bonne Continuation!

It's because the past participle fait is always invariable in the causative - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/faire-causative-2/
