Question

Good evening, is it permissible to get a haircut on Thursday evening after sunset? It's really bothersome.

Answer

Hello 

According to the law, one should wait until Friday morning. 

Some of the poskim are lenient at night [after the stars appear].

However, one should only be lenient in a case of pressing need. 

[Difficulty and bother are not very precise concepts, and each person knows what constitutes "pressing need" for them.]
