Use of reflexive

What is the rule governing whether or not the reflexive construction is used? It seems clear with personal verbs like brushing ones teeth or cutting one’s hair, but not clear at all in the context of having sandals made.

Your answer leaves me confused when you refer to an advanced change in the rule concerning the agreement when using “avoir”. Also that it “can” agree.

Reflexive in the future

Hello...for the future with reflexive verbs, can we say - tu vas te faire couper les cheveux, nous allons nous faire faire les ongles etc?

How about:

Tu te feras couper les cheveux...? You are will have your hair cut....? Does that work?

Merci beaucoup!
