If Yes, Are there Hindu mythologies behind this?

1Namaste and Svagatam to Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism SE). You accepted the below answer too early. There is already a similar question answered. Cutting hair/nails on Saturday or Tuesday decreases your lifespan. – ram Dec 28 '20 at 04:33

I am not aware of any story related to such observance. Just a side note: Hinduism do not prescribe such things. This kind of observances are influenced by local rituals. For example: What to eat and not eat on Ekadashi differ widely in different states in India.
