The correct way of saying it is as the person above indicated, which is "where did you get your nails done?"

Q:
What he says always hit the nail on the head. soa natural?
A:
It should be "hits" ("What he says always hits the nail on the head") because you're talking about something that is presently ongoing.
You could also say "Everything he says..." instead of "What he says..." (as in "Everything he says always hits the nail on the head").
If you are talking about a specific time frame in the past, then you could switch it to "... he said always hit ..." (as in "Before the accident, everything he said always hit the nail on the head").
Note: with the corrections, it sounds okay, but usually you "hit the nail on the head" about one specific point/opinion. It's unusual to say that someone generally or always "hits the nail on the head".
