Grammar

have something done - tenses?

Hi,
could you use the grammar construct "make someone do something" or "have/get something done" in various tenses or do you have to use only make/made/have/had/get/got?

For instance, are these examples correct?

He has had his hair cut by the best barber in town.
He has been having his hair cut.
He were getting his hair cut.
He had made me love and cry.
or questions:
Whom were you getting your hair cut?
How were you making Tom kill all the mice?

Thank you very much!
