Hippies

Yes it is a head shop … but I do not smoke anything so that part does not interest me at all (though the glass is pretty). But they have incense and candles that will lighten and enhance any room. They have dresses and blouses that take this old (er) lady back to her youth and days of the world being all possibilities… and all those colors. And I finally bought a HEMP Hat … it will outlast me and it will cover my dreaming mind. Take a trip back to days preinternet … preTrump … premadness …

This is one of my favorite stores in the sparks/​reno area. All of the staff is super nice and never treat me like i don’t know what I’m talking about which is wonderful. Plus they have one of the best selection of random items from jerry bear costumes to pipes and incense… love love love this place. Give it a chance because you might find something you just can’t part with!

My allegiance used to lie entirely with Hippies Pipes and Incense. prices on blunt wraps and glass are OK but the selection is a bit lacking — it’s a small store with a lot of different things. What I do really like is they sell local arts and crafts — candles, crochet hats and scarves. One of the nice ladies working there actually makes the incense herself.
Hippies is a great place to shop for tapestries, incense, candles, jewelry, and other odd gifts. Maybe some blunt wraps and a small piece of glass.

Yeah, it’s a head shop, so there’s that. Know that going in. But it’s a very good head shop with a nice selection of other odds and ends, too (i.e. candles, fragrance, jewelry, etc.) The staff is friendly and attentive, and prices are absolutely reasonable. I’m glad that Sparks finally has a store like this.

I am very sad giving hippies such a low review, but my last experience with them was not pleasant. Hippies has been my favorite head shop because their prices and selection are awesome, they have unique handmade incense, and the friendly employees have a great knowledge of product. In fact I just bought a pipe there. However, all these things failed me today.
What I got today was rude an employee who didnt know what the hell they were talking about. Ive never run into that guy before, but I wasnt impressed. There are a million head shops in reno and theyre all having sales for 420. I wont be back to this one any time soon.

Not that this place is a bad place, just that this type of store is not the type that I would go in.
I went in with my daughter to get a water pipe for a friend of hers and this was the place for the BEST price out of «Art dogs», «Melting pot»…

Im going to have to explain the stars. This isn’t a gift shop. Lets be frank. It’s a head shop whose inventory mostly caters to herb paraphernalia. I’m not into the drug culture myself, but i came here for the incense and that alone is worth the go. They have an amazing stock and they blend their own oils. You can get custom blends too! And they are so amazingly cheap, way cheaper than the oils you get at the melting pot. They are not true essential oils, it’s fragrance oils, some with essential oils, but they all have a carrier oil in them (i’m not sure what it is, all the oils seem dark).
So, for a head shop, I give it 5 stars because it has everything you could need for smokeables from glass and wood pipes to gasmasks and lovely hookahs. They also carry whatever you need for hookahs like coals, oils and shesha.
For a gift shop, the inventory is pretty limited. It’s very true to it’s name. Lots of tiedye and hemp clothes and stickers that are hippie and substance culture related, so it’s exactly what you’d expect going to a store names «Hippies». They do have some incense burners and windchimes, a small selection of typical hemp jewelry, but no fascinators and nothing that makes we want to stay and shop. They layout of the store is also kind of trashy and feels cluttered, but not purposefully or in a comfortable way. Just like college dorm messy cluttered.
So for the shop feel and a lack of selection for any other counter culture folks, it only gets 2 stars.
I think a bit more invantory would dramatically improve this shop. Maybe some activity related stuff other than smoking, like hoops or fire dancers/​poi things. Figurines would help too, and probobly books. Green items also tend to do wonders for headshops and counter culture shops these days.

I love this place! I have been coming hear for a long time. There Incense are the best and freshest you can get! (Butt Naked is the best in my opinion) The employees are always amazing. Ive even moved out of state and every time I come to Reno to visit family I always stop in for a re-​up on Incense, take a look at what they have new in the store, and have a wonderful conversation with the great people that work there. Never change!

This store has anything smoke related you could ever want. I love coming here to buy everything from screens to candles to zongs.
I also have a total crush on the blonde girl that works there. I’m too shy to ask her name and I’m pretty sure she’s unavailable, but seeing her each time I go in makes me spend more money than I have. XD

Awesome store, awesome employees, incense is great!

Yes! this place is great all kinds of Incense, tapestries, stickers, and a great selection of Deady Bears!
