Damn do I love this place. I have lived in Tucson my whole life and thus have grown up with 4th 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The staff is what made this visit to Hippie so great! Everyone was super nice and accommodating, my brother had a bunch of questions and was looking to test some fits and the guy behind the counter was really cool the whole time. And the girls at the front are always really nice! This is just a fun place to visit as well, while he was at the counter I was just kind of wandering the store checking out posters, shirts, and the awesome array of incense. We got what we needed and were out pretty quickly, although I probably could end up spending too much time in there. read more

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:) read more

No long-hairs welcome here! That's actually what the young punk manager called my silver haired, pony-tailed husband. For the last three years, every time I go in there, I, a middle aged woman, am absolutely ignored in preference of 'young dudes'. Why? I obviously have more money than they do, and I have a license to use that paraphernalia anyway I want to. When that young man does notice me and my hundred dollar bills - I give lots of gifts too- he is always annoyingly condescending as though I couldn't possibly know what's what back there. Notice they had to close their website down down 'cause they were getting such bad reviews about their customer service so now you can't review them on a home page and their last review on the first site that pops up for them is eight months old and aging. They need to get some real men in there and run that snot nosed brat out. He followed us into the alley and tried to provoke my husband into a fight by putting his slimy little hands all over him. He's fortunate my extremely powerful man's-man husband has a fuse as long as his hair or that manling would have been a little smear of grease on the sidewalk with one punch and a grind of my boots. These boots were made for walking so walkin's what we did and we recommend you do the same...walk right on paste the Hippie Gypsy. There's nothin' in there you can't find in another store on that same street where they will treat with kindness and dignity and give you a better price. read more

I just left this place laughing with my buddy. After buying a drop down piece ( long slim clear glass piece) the cashier asked if I'd like my piece wrapped up. First time in a glass shop where you buy glass, that I've been asked that. Yes I would like it wrapped first , so I dont break it, second , so I'm not walking down 4th ave with a long stem glass piece looking like a meth head. Get it together people!! read more

Been shopping here as a satisfied customer for several years, but this one did it for me. Bought a defective product, however I only discovered the day after buying that it was defective. After thoroughly explaining the situation, the "managers" flat out stated there's nothing that they can or will do. No refund, exchange, or even a discount on another item. $120 spent, and not an ounce of sympathy or desire to make things right after selling a defective item. Don't let the store decorations fool you, this place is a joke. Take your business elsewhere. read more

The staff here is so rude I can't even begin to describe it. I was screamed at cursed at from across the store for stating that I couldn't afford their products and I'd have to take my business else where. This staff member followed me as I left, screamed and cursed and continued to do so after I left. I only know because my LITTLE BROTHER was in there looking at shirts. Disgusting. read more

While in Tucson enjoying the holidays with friends I ventured into Hippie Gypsy. What a super place. I met Sam a manager who was so low key and just wanted to make sure. that I was not pressured but helped. He spent his time helping me was really informative about the different artists who created various unique and incredibly beautiful glass items. A great place for yourself and for gifts for others. read more

Just go across the street. Trust me. This is probably the worst smoke shop in Tucson. They sell fake Roors, fake sharpsstones, rebranded Chinese crap all at double and triple their actual worth. The employees are recycled with every passing school semester so most of them have no knowledge about the industry and their only interest is making the sell so they can get incentives. The management is an absolute joke, they don't even have a store inventory system. Not to menriony building is not up to code and has faulty breakers and exposed wire throughout the basement. Your better off going across the street or anywhere else for that matter. This shop gets by from selling fake shit at real brand name prices and higher. Go support another local smoke shop who isn't in the business of lying to and ripping off customers. Here is a listing of their google reviews, these are just the ones within the past year. "Goreka Churchill 2 months ago This place is a joke, they sell fake shit on the regular and they know nothing about the products or industry. Horrible customer service, horrible management, horrible products for horrible prices. Your better off going to Moon or Space nearby, unless you want to take photos of their mural. Pretty much the only thing they have going for them." "chosin climb 5 months ago I went in to buy a new E-pen for vaporizing dry material and oil. I picked up the G-pen JAG because the employee told me it was dual-use. I got home and tried it out with some oil and it worked OK, but not as good as the $20 one of a different brand I had before. I wanted to try it with some dry herbs, but I noticed all the coils were the same (for oil). I looked it up and sure enough, this pen does NOT burn dry materials, only oil. This really pissed me off considering I had just paid almost $100 for this piece of crap. When Hippie Gypsy does their hiring, they need to be sure they hire employees that know WTF they're talking about. This guy was just making stuff up so I would buy it. He even admitted they had an overstock of the item. His sales tactics and blatant lies are shameful. Your employees don't have a clue what they're talking about. I'll bet they get commission, too, huh? This is BS. Now I'm out $100 and all I have to show for it is a crappy pen that doesn't draw very well and doesn't burn dry material even though I was told it did. Their customer service is horrible and their products are low-quality and overpriced. Go somewhere else, or shop online, but AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COSTS!!!" "Max Orloff 9 months ago 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." "Alfonso Sanchez 4 months ago Do not shop here. They do not give back refunds (even if you didn't use it) and everything is over priced!" read more

Had a very bad experience here today. We were wrongly accused of stealing and asked to leave. It was VERY offensive and extremely out of line... My boyfriend was trying on a hat which he loved and intended on buying, when an employee in front of the entire store made a huge scene with lots of attitude and yelling. It was embaressing, unprofessional, and uncalled for. I'd recommend never going here. read more

First off il start by saying I only came here to support local businesses.... YOU CAN FIND THE SAME China GLASS THE HIPPIE GYPSY SELLS ON DHgate.com , don't let the people working there finess you into saying it's from Cali so it's worth more when they got it from China. They mark up their glass so high it's ridiculous...They love to do that to u of a kids who don't know their stuff and sell them a bong that looks cool but really is a piece of China trash. Also with so many glass blowers selling their glass art on Instagram now a days , it's a way better option for heady glass at a cheaper price and you will probably end up liking the quality better and find new glass blowers you might like ;).. now for my review on the Hippie...... Been a customer here for many years... purchased thousands of dollars worth of glass over the years including some chip glass for over $2000!Sad to say I won't be coming here to spend my hard earned cash any more...I came in around 5:00pm looking for a huge carb cap to fit a custom 35mm Quartz nail I have and found something that might fit I just forgot the nail at home... so I came back in later that night because I was in the area and asked to see if the cap would fit the nail.. the guy with long hair and a longer beard said I couldn't touch the nail to the carb cap... I said why ? It's clean ? He said is it used though? I said yeah it's had 2 dabs through it but I cleaned it up so the nail looks new... no residue on the nail whatsoever , I also have my medical marijuana card(which he didn't ask about), so why can't I just touch the cap to the nail to see if it fits ? Moon smoke shop let me do this 10 minutes before I came to the hippie ...Then maybe a manager or co worker ( a dude with gauges so big you could fit hot dogs through them ) cuts me off mid sentence and says "isn't it pretty FUCKING common sense you can't bring your nail in here BRO?". Shocked this guy just cursed at me , like I was being rude when I wasn't, I was simply just asking if I could see the cap and then asked why I couldn't touch it , all while saying please and thank you. So I heard him degrade me basically saying I don't have common sense when the moon smoke shop literally let me do the same test 10 minutes ago ... I then said well you're an asshole you just lost a sale and I proceed to walk out and he cusses at me some more then I cuss him back out and then he says I'm 86ed for life , don't come back . OK LOL DID ME A FAVOR !! read more

If you've ever had a chance to walk down 4th Ave on a Friday night you know what you are getting yourself into. The whole street is very amusing to just walk down and just simply people watch. It's a very 420 vibe if you know what I mean... the Hippie Gypsy is a nice store to walk around with nice employees. The front of the store is more focused on the "tie-die, hippie" kind of lifestyle while the back of the store is just mainly pipes and bongs. I'm not really interested in that type of lifestyle and can't really say much about the peices itself just because I don't know much about all of that but I can say they did have a big variety. If you are into that kind of stuff I think it'd be worth your while to go ahead and check it out... read more

They have a wide selection of pretty much everything. They're kind of pricey but everything there is super cool!

If I could give 0 stars I would. The man behind the counter in the smoke shop was beyond rude. He was extremely disrespectful, and from reading other reviews, it sounds like I was not the only one who experienced this. His behavior was unprofessional at best. He used offensive language and was not wearing shoes. I was not only disrespected and offended, but grossed out as well. He kicked my boyfriend and I out of the shop because HE was unnecessarily rude and disrespectful to me and my boyfriend called him out on his behavior. No customer deserves to be treated this way, even if they are behaving against store policy (which we weren't). I definitely will not be visiting hippie gypsy ever again (tucson or Tempe locations) after this experience. I am shocked that the owner lets this behavior go on. I highly suggest that you take your business somewhere else where customer service exists, and where staff members are not disgruntled and rude. read more

I was followed around like a shoplifter - and left far too soon as a result. I don't look like a shoplifter and would have loved to shop around. Far too pricey anyway so no problem. read more

Fun store but incredibly overpriced. It also would have been nice to know what the return policy was because when I tried to return something (an overpriced shirt that I found on Amazon for $15 cheaper) they said I could only exchange or get store credit... Even though when I bought it the day before the cashier said "if you want to return the shirt just don't wash/dry it." Don't think I'll be back. read more

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! read more

I had been hunting around for a local smoke shop that sold the Ionix 101. I was planning to order it online but I always prefer to support local businesses instead. I saw that Hippie Gypsy carried it and was planning to purchase it on the spot. After flagging down one of the women working there I asked the price. I was blown away to find out the they were charging $220 for it. The piece sells for $140 online. I asked if she was sure since I'd seen it cheaper elsewhere. Her response was a disgusted "Ugh, yeah". I told her thank you anyway. I wanted to support a local business rather than a larger out of state company but that's an insane mark up. Even with expedited shipping it still cost me less than purchasing here. Combined with the saleswoman's poor attitude I won't be coming here again. read more

Sorry to say, the Friday night manager is no manager. A nice employee on her first night tried to help me but the rest of the crew was not at all helpful when I asked for a register receipt to go with my credit card receipt. The manager quickly snapped and would not even give me a store credit. He turned and walked away. I was a regular customer who now won't be going back. read more

they sell fake glass. i had boughten two sheldon black water pipes from their store. one came completely unboxed and the sheldon black logo had TM label and the other one that I had bought had a box, a sheldon black sticker on it, and much thicker glass. also on the sheldon black label it had an R on it instead of the TM that the fake one had. Manager handled it poorly and refused to make admit he was wrong. THEY DO SELL SOME FAKES, DO NOT BUY FROM HIPPY GYPSY read more
