Hippie Gypsy

Some of the merchandise in here is overpriced. There are pipes here that cost a lot but some are complete works of art and in my opinion totally worth it. I got a pipe that a previous Disney artist made and it literally was as gorgeous as Cinderella’s glass slipper.
The girl helping me was a student, and she was reserved, but once I started talking to her more she opened up and became totally friendly (don’t judge a book by it’s cover). They sell lower priced merchandise if you ask them. I was looking for a cheapy grinder and they did carry them. She showed me the lowest priced ones they offered and the higher priced ones. She did not once try to upsell anything to me, she simply gave me options.
They sell clothing here and it is overpriced. If you don’t like the hippy/​stoner vibe from this store then look elsewhere, because this place is filled with it. As a person who smokes, I thought this place was unique and carried a lot of pipe options.
if you’re coming through town, check it out.

Cool enough place, nice people, the blonde guy working the front of the store was a nice dude.
They have one of these stores in Tempe at ASU as well, it’s pretty much the same in both locations. Conventional stoner stuff, grateful dead merch, jimmy hendrix, pipes and bongs. Honestly, the hippie thing is pretty boring after 50 years.
My problem is the price of merchandise, it’s ridiculous. I saw some cool tees, but not cool enough to cost 33 dollars! Seriously man, $ 33 bucks for a hippy tee shirt is ridiculous. It wasn’t even handmade or artisanal, just screen printed. Everything is overpriced. Seeing as how everyone in that 4^th area is either homeless, a student, or a broke hippy the prices don’t match. Meh. Points for nice people.

I’ve frequently visited Tucson and often have driven by this colorful shop with awesome murals but never had the chance to go until now. I was a little skeptical at first after reading the reviews and issues with customer service but I decided to go anyway.
The smell of incense hit me before I came in and off to the right of the entrance is a decent amount of incenses, most priced at 10 for $ 1(too good for me to pass up). My favorites were: Jasmine, Rose. Cucumber, and Hemp.
There was plenty of art, posters and pipes for sale in the second room. I admit I was a little disappointed in the small clothes selection but they did at least have a sale on the clothes that was there. They
Had plenty of unique boho bags and event though I didn’t see some, it would the place where you could find hemp bags (they did have hemp sandals and hemp shirts though).
The part that really made the visit awesome was the customer service. I didn’t get his name but the guy at the register was great. He welcomed everyone that walked into the store and talked to everyone in the store. I was a little surprised to hear that the hippie employee was actually a former Marine (not what you would typically expect). He talked to my family and I about his experience and noticing the small globe and anchor on my dad’s hat. The employee was quite nice and even offered my pops a free cigar as a thanks for serving in the military.
Tucson has plenty of unique and locally owned shops and this store is one not to pass up.

I do not slander any names to hurt ANYBODY OR ANY BUSINESS. I speak the truth and my experience only.
I posted this on Google Reviews, and now Unilocal,so everyone read my review.
I’ve been a student here for 3 years now, and nothing has changed about the horrible quality of the products (that aren’t even backed by them) and the INFLATED PRICES. They jack up the prices a huge percentage and then try to sell you into thinking you’re getting a «good deal» or a «huge discount». I had just purchased a product yesterday from them, as this was/​will be my last purchase, and it already broke. I spoke to the manager and she said she could give me a «good deal»… Right lol.
****Moral of the story and my review: I would not recommend this place to ANYONE is the greater Tucson area. This places rips students and all customers off. The quality is absolutely horrible and cheap for the jacked prices they charge, and there product is not even backed by their store manager… There’s a smokeshop right across the street, which isn’t the best but A WHOLE LOT BETTER than Hippie Gypsy, and there is also one on Campbell & Grant that’s really good to student and their customers and also with prices; they don’t lie you into thinking you’re getting a hell of a deal like Hippie Gypsy does.

If you want a bunch of teen aged girls to be rude to you then defiantly stop by this store. I’m a glassblower who was visiting from New York and checking out all the local shops who sell glassware in tucson and this store, the hippy gypsy, was just unbelievable. I’m from NYC so I’m used to rude and obnoxious people but the staff who work here take the cake.
For anyone visiting Tucson I recommend NOT Going into this store. It will ruin your whole 4^th Ave experience.
** NOTE** if you’re the owner and ever read this you should seriously have a meeting with your staff on how to treat customers.

It’s kind of a That 70’s Show meets Hair kinda place. Full of… uh…water pipes. @__@ in various shapes and sizes, and incense, and clothes with tye dyed themes. Some really funny bumper stickers, and buttons.
My son was in town, and we took him. He’s the one who explained a lot of what I was looking at to me. LOL
The parking isn’t really handy, we had to walk a couple blocks, and it’s downtown, so it’s hit and miss as far as people around the area. Never had a problem, just some skeevy looks. We have always been during the day though.
My partner and I have gone three or four times, and it’s always as a sidenote from one off our other favorite stores. Her asthma usually kicks in from the smokiness, but I don’t think we would make a special trip, even if it didn’t.
It’s a store thats cool if you need something from there, or to tool around, not a destination, for us.

One of my favorite stores in Tucson. Interesting merchandise, including an endless selection of incense, and friendly staff make this place a «must go.» Their glass product is also very impressive and fairly priced!

As someone who has been to a lot of really great hippie shops in california and sedona that provided a great vibe and customer service Hippie gypsie falls miserably short. The clothing items they sell are mediocre at best, and often overpriced. Which sometimes just happens with people running small businesses, i get that.
What really turns me off about this shop is the terrible staff behind the counter in the smoke shop portion. I have seen some great glass pipes here, it certainly isn’t the selection that suffers here. I was here with a friend trying to pick a valentines pipe for her boyfriend and when we inquired about seeing something on the bottom shelf the guy said «We don’t take anything out of the case, what you see is what you get» and when we asked how much it would cost he said that all of those pipes were «upwards of $ 100» and walked away like he had something better to do.
Even though it was the pipe she wanted and were willing to pay for it, needless to say they didn’t have our business that day and I doubt they ever will.

ahhh Hippie Gypsy, how I love the wafting scent of incense coming from your doors… In all seriousness, I’ve never been a frequent flier of Hippie Gypsy, BUT I can tell you that I go there pretty much every time I’m in Tucson.
It can seem like a touristy trap for curious collegiate parents who are worried about what their WILDcat is doing on their weekends, but in all honesty, it’s a pretty legit business with some unique items… and it’s presented in a laid-​back no-​pressure way.
Most smoke shops will have everything behind lock and key, sterile and harshly guarded by tough-​guy wannabes. This place, living up to its name, is staffed by hippies. Truly. And I love that! Up in Tempe, you have the wannabes, but these people are authentic. They wash their hair with hemp shampoo and wear Jesus rope shoes to work. They know more about patchouli oil than Janis Joplin and Hendrix combined.
Items for sale range from clothing, to wall hangings, hookah supplies, pipes and accessories, incense, stickers and paraphernalia galore. Don’t mention the MJ word or any of its affiliated as it tends to ruffle feathers. Or dreadlocks. Whatever.
Stuff I buy here: I love their Nandita Patchouli-​Vetivert incense roll-​on oil. It’s my signature scent that I’ve been wearing for years. I also bought some white sage to purify my house of bad mojo (I’ll let you know how that works). In teh past, I’ve also purchased some incense from here, along with a pair of mukluks (look that one up) and a pair of Jesus shoes. Yes, I went through a Boho stage.
Moms and Dads, fret not. There’s no MJ being sold here. Your child is not going to become a Bob Marley prodigy because they’ve stepped across this threshold. They will however, walk out smelling like they just rolled themselves in Nag Champa. You’re welcome.

loved this place. prices on most merch was very reasonable. purchased two pipes that were at least 30% cheaper here than in nj.
great mixture of economical pipes (cheap) and spectacular pieces of art (pipes/​bongs).
Marla was great and convinced me to walk out with the 3ft zong bong.
I recommend this store to ANYONE needing good pieces.

I bought an awesome hookah from Turkey and when I brought it home it was missing a few parts. I took it to Hippie Gypsy and was thrown out by Josh the manager with no explanation other than «you could have been smoking illegal substances out of it and if the cops come in here I will lose my license.» Fine, but this was after telling him it had never been used on account of the missing parts. It didn’t even have a bowl or a hose. I ended up taking it elsewhere on 4^th and everyone was perfectly helpful and I got all the parts for it. I then called back to ask Josh if he could explain to me the reason why he couldn’t help me when every single other shop I took it to didn’t even bat an eye. He told me he was not allowed to answer my questions over the phone and then proceeded to yell/​whine at me which is unprofessional and rude. Bottom line, this place sucks and it has for a while.

So I was searching for peace sign crap, oops! I mean cool peace sign items for my daughter for a Valentine’s present. I was clearly out of my element walking into this store but the people working in there were so nice and friendly and didn’t bat an eye that I was like a fish out of water in this place! LOL!

The service here is horrible. Customer service is non-​existent. Yes, I am aware that a part of the store is a smoke shop, I don’t care, they should still give decent customer service. I bought a hookah here and found that the bowl was broken when I got home. This was clearly the stores fault, however, I wasn’t mad because I understand all stores make mistakes sometimes. Besides, the guy said I could exchange it. So I drive my butt all the way over there only to get yelled at by one of the employees…“You cant bring tobacco products back into our store, you have to get that out of here” as I’m trying to explain my situation. I listen to him, place my hookah outside of the store where it can easily be stolen, and step back into the store. I try to keep myself calm after that first encounter, but he just keeps repeating the store policy about final sales on tobacco products! Obviously, I understand their policy, but I feel that sometimes stores NEED to make exceptions if it was their fault. I also called in before hand and asked it if was okay! I purchased the bowl already broken… all I wanted was my money’s worth instead I got two uneducated douche bags who just simply refused to help me. definitely never going back again… and I’m discouraging all my friends in going here as well
I’m happy now :)

The staff here make walking in a whole other experience! Everyone is helpful and super friendly. This is my go to store for gifts for my college age daughter, I’ve never got her something she didn’t adore. Theres a smoke shop in the back too. The staff here are why I keep going back though they are awesome:)

DON’T GO THERE!!! I waited for 30 min before FINALLY someone decided to help me. They were not friendly at all. They don’t care about their customers. They were very pushy, they try to sell you things you don’t want. Final point
DON’T GO THERE

It’s charming coming in here. I like this place. It’s laid back. my love of the Doors and John Lennon are at peace here. Great smells of incense and tons of it for sale. Really neat shirts and clothing and everything a hippie or New Ager needs.
And what a great selection of bon – err I mean tobacco pipes! Oh yes. This is the place to get your tobacco smoking needs. There is just massive amounts of little tobacco pipes and big ones and ones you can all smoke on with your friends. Discreet ones and glass and totally homemade looking ones. Yes, you can get everything here but, um, tobacco.
There used to be 2 locations in town but this is the only one now.

Three stars is not bad, the staff seems friendly enough but I don’t like to shoot the breeze with random strangers so what do I know? Typically your usual Hippie if you have been to others in the valley. This shop has a cool outside mural thing going so it looks like the authentic thing. The only thing I really detest about Hippie in particular this one, is the extremely heavy scent of incense. I like incense but they burn those mega wands of incense and put them in holders on the outside of the building so the whole sidewalk leading up to the building is choked full of incense smoke. It was so overpowering I could not bear to be in the store much longer and left.

Damn do I love this place. I have lived in Tucson my whole life and thus have grown up with 4^th Ave. The first time you walk in is always an experience. There is just so much color and every one of the employees are extremely nice people. They’re knowledgeable and help suggest things that you wouldn’t have even known to exist but are so helpful that you’ve gotta have it. They’ve also got anything a hippie could need. Fantastic clothes, bags (mine has lasted for at least 5 years now and is still going strong), incense, pipes, tobacco products, hookah… There is almost too much too look at. I am an avid patron of the Hippie Gypsy and will continue to be for many years to come.

What a wonderful place ~ this place has the ambience of Haight-​Ashbury in San Francisco, California. This place is worth a visit!

Since my last review I’ve made a few other stop-​bys and purchases, and every time I go I’m reminded why I love Hippie Gypsy. Really cool and friendly people, eager to help you find what you’re looking for. Top notch products from independent and well-​known high-​profile brands. Fair prices.
Plus, the place smells like nirvana. Incense FTW!
