Twig & Willow

Hi I'm Karen, a 22 year veteran in the Beauty Industry. After owning a boutique in SF back in the 90's, I fell into the beauty industry and became a VP Product Designer for brands like Urban Decay and Smashbox, to name a few. I grew tired of my 22 year commute into LA and had a vision of creating a unique boutique that was approachable and friendly in my own neighborhood of Belmont Heights. In 2009, there were very few stores in Long Beach, so the need was there! I hoped to be a go-to destination for gifts and fashion and now we've become just that.

History

Established in 2009.

Established in 2009 in Belmont Heights. 
Bixby Knolls Location founded Nov. 2016

This first-of-it’s-kind boutique opened it’s doors for business Nov.7th, 2009. Owner/partner Karen Quimby owned and operated Ambiance, a still successful boutique in San Francisco, and dove back into the boutique business after a 15 year career in the cosmetic industry.  She created beauty products for some of the biggest cult beauty brands. Her partner Billie Gentry joined her, stepping away from a long career in advertising, managing some of the largest media budgets for luxury brands. The two came together to develop a business that would bring them closer to a community they love.  With a keen eye for aesthetics & fashion and a sharp mind for business, this partnership is unstoppable.

After 6 successful years, the duo opened their 2nd location in Bixby Knolls, another coveted neighborhood in Long Beach. They hold numerous awards in LA and LB as the “Best Boutique” & “Best Jewelry & Gift” boutique.
