How would you say "I'm going to get my nails done today." ? I thought "Je vais me faire faire les ongles aujourd'hui ", but am not sure.

Really? 'faire faire'? Not 'je vais faire les ongles?'

No, je vais faire mes ongles means “I’m going to do my nails”. The second faire expresses that you’ll have it done for you.
