Joann never disappoints her friendly attitude along with her hair cutting skills are second to none! I drive from San Clemente to Huntington Beach because of her listening to me describe the type of cut I require. Two Thumbs Up plus 5 Star Service !

Joanne cuts both my son’s hair and does a fantastic job :) her attention to detail is amazing, my kids look so sharp every time! Great Location too in Huntington Beach, we love to get ice cream and walk the beach after :)
Response from the owner Aug 2026
Thank you Jasmine for your kind words and visiting me at my old location before opening up the Parlor. Looking forward to seeing you and the boys again.
Although she was nice, I told her not to cut very much off and to keep the waves and curls. She told me to trust her but it looks straight up awful because she cut off sooo much length. Overall really nice, but just kind of does what she wants not what you want.
Response from the owner Aug 2026
Thank you for saying I was nice. That means a lot. And I’m sorry if you were dissatisfied with the length. Your sides were clipped pretty short when you came in, with a lot left on top, and connecting the two meant taking off more than the either of us wanted. I know you asked if I was taking too much off. I thought I explained it well enough at the time. It was never my intention to do my own thing instead of what you asked for. And I’m sorry if it came across that way. I apologize that it wasn’t what you wanted. in 6-8 weeks if you want to come back, I will comp you for free. And try to make it right. Joann owner of Timberlodge Parlor
Joanne the barber did a terrible job cutting my son’s hair. She often asked personal questions instead of focusing on cutting my son’s hair. Also, she would get nervous and weirdly would ask me to stop watching her while she was cutting his hair when I was just looking at him. I would not recommend this place to a friend.
Response from the owner Aug 2026
Thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry the visit didn't feel right to you. To share my perspective: I chat with every client in my chair — especially teens — about their hobbies, sports, and daily routine, because it helps me tailor a cut and style that actually fits their lifestyle, and I want them to have a voice in their own haircut. That's also why I checked in with him in the mirror several times throughout the cut, and he told me he liked how it was coming along. I did ask that you please have a seat during the cut . I don’t recall asking you to not watch. — you were standing very close behind me, and when I'm working with very sharp shears near a child's ears and neck, I need space to work safely and give him my full attention. I apologize if you feel shut out. That was not my intention. I also want to note we spent an hour and twenty minutes on a forty-five-minute booking to get it right, and I was glad to hear at checkout that everyone was happy with the result. If that changed after you left, I wish you'd reached out — I'd have gladly offered a complimentary redo within a couple of days, and that offer still stands. — Joann, Timberlodge Parlor
After trying a number of barber shops around Huntington Beach, I can honestly say Timberlodge Parlor is the best barber shop in the area. JoAnn, the owner, has over a decade of experience, and it shows in every haircut. She takes the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for, pays incredible attention to detail, and never makes you feel rushed. Whether you’re getting a clean skin fade, a classic cut, beard work, or just a fresh cleanup, you can tell she takes real pride in her craft. One of the things I love most is that Timberlodge isn’t a typical busy barbershop. It’s a private suite inside Pacific City, just steps from the beach, so you get a one-on-one experience in a relaxed, comfortable setting. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and unique, making every appointment feel personal rather than just another haircut. JoAnn genuinely cares about her clients and it shows in both her work and the relationships she’s built. It’s easy to see why she has such a loyal following and why so many people recommend her through word of mouth. If you’re looking for precision, professionalism, and someone who truly cares about delivering an exceptional haircut every single time, I highly recommend JoAnn at Timberlodge Parlor. Huntington Beach is lucky to have a barber of her caliber. Five stars without hesitation.

Great hospitality, clean parlor, Joann did a nice job cutting my man's hair, sending him home looking more handsome than he did leaving for his appointment.

Thank you Amanda. Looking forward to seeing you and your man back at the Parlor.
Excellent haircut. Joann is a total professional and the Timberlodge Parlor is A++. Great location, easy to find, and the studio is emasculate. I highly recommend the Timberlodge Parlor.
Response from the owner May 2026
Thank you Steven for recommending me and supporting us. Looking forward to seeing you again.
JoAnn’s cut is highest rated! My son is growing out his hair…she listened to how he would like it done, and perfectly executed the style and function he was looking for. She takes her time and is very skilled! It’s hard to find a stylist who actually cuts with scissors these days. Once again, perfectly executed! Also, and extremely important, my son has multiple anaphylactic food allergies and some chemical sensitivities. Joann understood this completely, and worked with us to allow for the safest environment. He felt fully relaxed in her environment and chair. We will be back with the whole family. Thank you so much JoAnn!!
Response from the owner May 2026
Thank you for your kind words. I myself suffer from MCS and heavy fragrances and pride myself on trying to elite chemicals from my life. I look forward to seeing you two again.
Excellent haircut, great experience. "Joann did a great job- the scariest thing a man can say to his girlfriend is, 'I'm getting a haircut,' and she did a great job." - my girlfriend
Response from the owner May 2026
Dylan, It was a pleasure chatting with you and I’m so glad you trust me enough to do your hair again. I am glad your girlfriend was happy. Looking forward to seeing you again. -joAnn
Decided to cheat on my barber and give this place a try. JoAnn did a great job on a scissor cut and cut it exactly the way I wanted it. I recommend coming here since she’s cool, welcoming and delivers great service.

Thanks so much for the years of patronage Patrick! See you soon. - joAnn
Highly recommend. Wanted a very specific haircut and Joann absolutely delivered. I have done this hair style a few times, this was the best cut yet. If you need your hair done right, go get an appointment at Timberlodge Parlor. No nonsense, amazing cut. Looking forward to my next visit. The confidence boost from the haircut is priceless, look forward to my next visit.

Thank you Derek for trusting me with your transformation. Good chat too. See you soon!
My preteen son loves his haircuts here. So glad we found her. Jo Ann pays attention to detail, listens to what he is looking for in a cut and keeps up with the trends.
I recently learned about Timberlodge, decided to give it a try, and I’m quite glad I did. I’ve gotten a haircut here several times now and it’s been great every time. Free parking, too. Recommend it
Joann did a great job fixing a disaster that a previous barber committed on my hair. She is very knowledgeable and friendly and knows a lot about cutting asian men's hair. I would absolutely become a regular here.
First time coming to Timberlodge parlor the vibes were amazing! Had a great experience and the cut was amazing, got so many compliments at work.
Response from the owner Jan 2026

JoAnn cut my hair and waxed my eyebrows a couple days ago. I couldn’t recommend her services more. She truly listens and knows what she is talking about and doing. She took into consideration my head shaped when cutting my hair which almost nobody I’ve been to does. She also understood exactly what I wanted with my eye brows - I like mine to still look natural but clean. I’ve had haircuts all around the country and world with many trial and errors. JoAnn and Timberlodge was spot on. I would highly recommend setting up an appointment to see JoAnn. I can guarantee she’ll make you look great.
Response from the owner Dec 2025
Matt, Thank you for coming in. So glad to have you in. I look forward to working on your brows and hair again. -joAnn

Got an absolute 10/10 haircut! joAnn, she is so chill and asked me what kinda haircut I was looking for and gave me exactly what I wanted! Also she explained the process of my hair in detail before starting the cut so It really made her trustworthy, and made me more excited about how that’d play out! Appreciate your service!

Nestled within Pacific City is this hidden gem inside of Salon Republic adorned with references to The Shining. Joann is amazing at cutting hair, especially Asian men's hair. She's friendly, responsive and most importantly knows how to cut my hair!She used to cut my hair at another shop and now that she has her own, I make the trek from south county because it's totally worth it. Thanks for taking care of me and making sure my haircuts always look good.

Joann is the hair stylist I've been looking for! She always knows how to do what we are wanting! My daughter and I have long curly hair and she knows how to take care of it, which is not easy to find, and my other daughter has thick, short hair and Joann cuts it perfectly! My girls never look better than after they see Joann. Plus she is extremely consciousness about her products. I do not use chemicals in our hair and I know I can always trust Joann to give me product that will not harm my girls or their hair! Her new office is RAD! She is upbeat and always has coffee and tea for me as I wait for my girls. 5 stars! I love this lady!!!
