Othman's
Othman's on Albert Street in Waterloo is open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday and 9 PM Monday to Thursday, and 11 AM to 5 PM on Sunday — materially later than the rest of the region, where most barbershops close between 6 and 7:30 in the evening.
Most barbershops in Waterloo Region shut between 6 and 7:30 in the evening, which is a problem if you finish work at six and live twenty minutes away. One shop in the region stays open materially later than that.
The short answer
Othman's on Albert Street in Waterloo is open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday and 9 PM Monday to Thursday. Sunday is 11 AM to 5 PM.
The other three shops — Lancaster, Westheights and Guelph — run to 7:30 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on Saturdays. If you need a cut after eight, Waterloo is the one.
What late actually means in practice
An 11 PM close is a real close, not a last-appointment-at-9 close. The chairs are working until the end of the evening on Friday and Saturday, which is the window that matters if you are getting cut before going out rather than the morning after.
On a weeknight, 9 PM means you can leave work at six, eat, and still get a haircut without taking time off. A standard cut is a 30-minute booking, so a 8:30 slot is a comfortable finish.
Longer services need more runway. A haircut with a hot towel shave is 45 minutes and the full package is ninety, so those want to start earlier in the evening rather than at the end of it.

Common questions
How late can I actually book? The booking system will only offer you a slot that finishes before close, so if it shows, you can have it.
Do you take walk-ins late at night? Yes, same as any other hour — but Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest window of the week, so booking is worth it.
Are the other shops open late too? No. Lancaster, Westheights and Guelph close at 7:30 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on Saturdays. Waterloo is the late one.
Is it more expensive in the evening? No. A haircut is $35 at any hour.
