Tosefta Pesachim

And the Sages say, even in a place where they said that labor may not be performed from Passover Eve until midday [on the fourteenth of Nissan], three craftsmen may [nonetheless perform their] work: tailors, hairdressers, and launderers. The tailors, for [even] an ordinary person may sew in his customary way on the intermediate days of a Festival. The hairdressers, for a Nazirite and a metzora and someone who suffered a wound to the his head may cut their hair on the intermediate days of a Festival. The launderers, for someone coming from the seaside, or from other countries overseas may launder [their clothes] on the intermediate days of a Festival. Rabbi Yosei bar Rabbi Yehuda says, even shoemakers, for pilgrims [traveling by foot to Jerusalem] during the pilgrimage Festivals may repair their shoes and their sandals on the intermediate days of a Festival. Dung that is in the middle of [*--?--] they may may clear it to the sides. [Dung] that is in a barnyard or a courtyard -- they may take it out to the garbage heap.
