Open Now — After-Hours Pros
Haircut at 8pm on a Sunday? We know who's actually open.
A live directory of vetted barbers, stylists, tailors, and notaries available right now, filtered by hour. The value isn't the service — it's knowing who's open when everyone else is closed.
- Turnaround
- Live. The whole point is that you're looking at who is open in this hour, tonight.
- How pricing works
- Each provider posts their own prices per service, visible before you book. NeedAGuy takes a booking fee, so the price you see is the price at the chair.
- Where
- Manhattan · Brooklyn · Queens · The Bronx · Staten Island

Questions people actually ask
How is this different from Google or Yelp hours?
Listed hours are frequently wrong, especially late and on Sundays. Providers here set live availability and lose their placement if they're marked open and turn people away.
What if I show up and they're closed anyway?
Your booking fee is refunded and the provider's status is reviewed. Repeat offenders come off the directory.
Can I book for right now, or only in advance?
Both. The default view is who can take you within the next two hours.
Your situation not covered above?
If what you need is close to this but not quite it — a weird building, an odd hour, a job that spans two of these — describe it here. It goes straight to the founder, and unusual requests are how new services get added.
