& Andrea Wamuran 18/09/2000 -
My husband and I have been using "Gypsy Rose" products
for over 2 years. It is an excellent product - it
cleans the hair without stripping - leaves it shiny
and full of bounce without the addition of conditioners,
leave in treatments etc. I find my hair to be more
balanced and does not need to be washed every day
to feel clean...
Melanie,
Delaney's Creek 15/12/2001 - I discovered
Gypsy Rose 2 in 1 Lavender shampoo via a hair appointment
with Karen Ellis of Scissorcraft April 2000. It turned
out to be the most important appointment of my life.
The impact this Gypsy Rose product has had on our
lives must be commended, as it has changed our family
forever. In particular my 7 year old daughter Ioni
who suffers from chronic exema, suffering this condition
since she was 7 weeks old, I was unable to find anything
to use on Ioni without causing bad or disturbing results
to her skin and head i.e. bleeding ears, fingers,
knees, ankles, elbows and sores the size of 20 cent
pieces on her head from using commercial shampoos.
The cracks behind her ears and finger joints were
so deep we thought those sombs could possibly fall
off. Steroid cream gave hourly temporary relief and
has long term side effects, so money was no issue
when it came to find that perfect relief or possible
cure. It has now been 20 months Ioni has been using
this product and I couldn't be happer. Lavender Shampoo
has only got better and better over time, not only
does it clean Ioni's hair beautiful but there has
been NO cracks or sores on her head, fingers or ears
since..
Patricia,
Wamuran 18/6/2001 - Products used - All Natural
2 in 1 shampoo - Love It!! Hair soft and full after
drying and manageable. "Gypsy Rose" soap - the pawpaw/carrot/orange
soap in the winter, the almond/honey/cinnamon at other
times. Has lasted me forever. If feeling slightly
dry, then I use the "Gypsy Rose" Rosehip oil.
Deborah,
Wamuran 27/04/01 - I have had 'white' hair
for a few years now. The biggest problem with having
'white' hair is keeping it white not yellow. I have
over the years tried many products for this problem.
It wasn't until I began using Herbacraft "Gypsy Rose"
Shampoo that a reliable solution was found. Yellowing
is not a problem for me any more.
Doris,
Delaney's Creek 12/07/2001 - This natural
ingredient shampoo has many qualities 1. Lovely herbal
fresh fragrance 2. Softens my grey hair 3. Ease of
use - only a small amount used each shampoo - cost
effective 4. No need to condition - if conditioning
is needed Hair Shine Treatment used as directed will
calm 'static' in your hair especially in winter. 5.
Assured of no chemicals or detergents.
Suzanne,
Elimbah 20/08/2001 - I have very sensitive
skin and also get psoriasis on my scalp. Since I have
been using Karen's Herbacraft 'Gypsy Rose' Natural
2 in 1 shampoo, and Hair Shine Treatment, I have been
able to keep the psoriasis under control. My hair
is also looking great and shiny and healthy with body.
I also use the Herbacraft facial soap mixture (Almond
oil and honey) and find it to be thorough but very
gentle cleanser which helps my skin look and feel
good.
Kim,
Woodford 18/04/2001 - I use no other shampoo!
Cleans and shines without leaving hair oily. Provides
body to my very straight and otherwise limp hair.
Doesn't leave a soap scum buildup in the shower. I
use it on my Pomeranian dog, to keep her hair in good
condition. I think the Rosemary help to keep pests
out of her coat.
Cheryl, Mooloolaba 18/04/2001 - Since
using Gypsy Rose shampoo I have noticed one big thing,
that is I don't seem to get many split ends anymore.
Another benefit is that my hair always looks shiny
and healthy looking. My hair using other shampoo products
seems to get used to the shampoo and goes dull looking
after a while. "Gypsy Rose" has proven to me that
you can use and use the product and your hair never
changes condition. I can't keep count of how many
people have complimented on the condition of my hair
since using your products. Another good thing is that
I don't need to use a conditioner - less time washing
hair in shower is a great thing.
June,
Woodford 21/06/2001 - After having worked
in a Beauty Salon for some time, I have always been
interested in beauty products. I must admit I have
probably tried almost every skin care product available
- however I have never used one I love as much as
Herbacraft's facial soap. I use the pawpaw, carrot
and orange mixture for dry skin and this is the softest
and smoothest my skin has ever felt. I have been using
the shampoo for several years now and I would NEVER
go back to any other brand. It leaves my hair thick,
soft and incredibly clean, but is so gentle. In a
word, it is fantastic.
Eileen,
Wamuran 20/12/2001 - I have been using Herbacraft
Gypsy Rose products and Scissorcraft services for
5 years and am delighted with the service I receive
and the natural and environmentally friendly products
used and produced in this salon. I am even more pleased
that these products and services are available in
my local community as I consider them to be a great
example of what should be happening all over the world.
This enterprise is a supreme example of the concept
"thick globally, act locally."
Robyn,
Kilcoy 30/07/2001 - I love the 2 in 1 Shampoo
for the amount of body it gives my hair, with a beautiful
shine and soft condition. I am very impressed with
the growth. I am also very happy with the facial bar
as it leaves my skin fresh and soft and clean. The
Leave in Shine makes my hair very easy to manage.
Renee Wamuran 24/05/2001 - I use the
new Rosemary Shampoo - formula approx three times
a week. My hair is fine and limp but with this shampoo
it has volume and still keeps its smoothness. It is
easier to style and maintain with less knots. Also
when my head gets itchy from styling products your
shampoo stops the itch.
Suzanne,
Wamuran Over the years - I have used many
shampoos which are available for "fine hair". Some
of which I found to be reasonably satisfactory. After
trying the Herbacraft Gypsy Rose formula of shampoo,
I really could not believe the difference in the condition
of my hair. This shampoo has given body and lift to
my fine hair, and has made it much easier to style.
The difference is really quite remarkable and I highly
recommend this product.
Hilary,
Wamuran 09/04/2001 - I've been using Gypsy
Rose products including the shampoo since the beginning
of Karen's producing it, approx in 1994/95. The shampoo
goes a long way, as it is very concentrated so you
don't need to use mucyh. It always gets my hair "ssqueeky
clean" and it feels lovely and soft and shiny when
dry. I have never had scalp problems, dandruff, scale,
etc. since I've been using this shampoo, and people
comment on my shiny hair quite often. Being in the
public eye (the Post Mistress) people notice your
hair, skin etc. so it is very important to be confident
with a product, such as your shampoo. The Wamuran
Post Office has also been selling it since 1994, and
I feel confident
I'm selling a top product.
Penny, Caboolture 09/05/2002-Karen's beautiful presented hair and skin products all contain as many natural ingredients as can be possible. These quality products are made locally by karen to her specially prepared formulae. I have had the pleasure of knowing Karen for 5 yrs now and can honestly say that her reliability and integrity are matched only by those of her hair and skin products!
Nardeen,
Currimundi 12/08/2004 -
I call Gypsy Rose All Natural Hair Spray - Magic.
I like to use all natural products and Karen Ellis
of Scissormagik Salon has made the product by using
ingredients that you'd find in your own kitchen. The
hairspray is also multipurpose. It can be used as
hairspray, replace your mouse or gel, aid in 'blowdry',
use as a quick set spray & style, let dry and restyle.
What I like best is that it helps me style my own
hair and keeps it looking great until I was it again.
Magic just Magik.
Angie,
Wamuran 20/02/2005 - My fine hair was suffering
from years of chemical colouring and blow drying.
It was limp in summer, fly-away in winter, with lots
of breakage. I started using the Gypsy Rose (Rosemary)
shampoo 2 years ago. Now, with chemical colour gone
from my hair, it is strong, healthy and has loads
of volume. I use Gypsy Rose shampoo in the summer
and also use Gypsy Rose Hair Treatment in the winter
to control static and fly-away. Then I only need to
add Gypsy Rose Hair Spray to style. I simply spray
and go! My hair has gone from limp and lifeless to
vibrant and healthy. Thanks Gypsy.
Lyn,
Caboolture 22/02/2005 - After using conventional
hair spray almost every day for many years, I became
conscious that it may be quite bad for my lungs. I
continued to use the hair spray but held a cloth over
my nose and mouth when spraying and then ran into
another room so as to avoid breathing it in. Using
Gypsy Rose Hair spray has released me from these antics!
I'm so relieved to use this natural hair spray that
works beautifully with a clear conscience.

To meet someone who has such enthusiasm and who has
lifetime commitment to ensuring that the range of
products she has developed are chemical free has been
an absolute blessing.
I've found that all the hair and skin products I've
used not only do their job excellently, but also smell
beautiful too. The other bonus has been the great
sense of satisfaction I feel in knowing that I'm doing
the best I possibly can for my own health and for
the environment by using checmial free products.
Karen's dedication & belief in herself and her
products has had wondeful benefits for all who use
Gypsy Rose.
Robert,
Wamuran Qld 17/10/2005 -
I have been using the shampoo for 12 yrs now and I
use to have alot of dandruff and would not clear up
no matter what iI used and then upon using Gypsy Rose
it all cleared up and also twice a year in winter
(I had been told that once in your system it would
always return in cold weather or times of stress)I
find it does return very mildly but still without
itch so I use the G'Rose Hair Shine Treatment as a
full treatment
for my scalp and it knocks it for six.!The shampoo
has always stopped the itch and especially settled
my wild un-ruly wiry hair-I use the "Lavender"
one.Thank you
Louise, Theebine Q 1/07/2006- I use the whole range"Gypsy Rose"- and love it all-really enjoying the new product " All Rounder Body Top to toe" and look forward to more new multipurpose products.The shampoo is great for my scalp and gives my fine hair so much body-I only need to wash 2 times a week and sometimes cheat and only do once a week and still surprisingly I am not irritated too much-though I do need to do 3 shampoos in the same wash if I leave it for a week-I suspect it needs this to remove excess dirt,sweat and oils as it takes the 3rd time to lather.The Hairspray lasts forever and is a quick way of looking like you have done alot & brushes out easy the next day and I just re-apply all over again without need to wash out a sticky product.
The new product " All Rounder Body Top to toe" has amazingly fixed my feet problems-cracked,dry,tough,and just so rough-I do it once at night and include the pumicestone instructions as being in the country I hardly ever wear shoes only thongs.Also use it as a healer for any rashes or dry spots
The 'clay' soap'is brillant for when I'm pimply-I tend to use both the 'almond' and 'clay',the clay I put on the pimple and 'almond everywhere else-I find if I need moisturiser at all in dry times I use the 'Rosehip oil' Gypsy Rose' brand as it absorbs without shine compared to other brands and have realised over trialing others that any 'Rosehip' that is WHITE IS NOT AS NATURAL AS THE OIL VERSION-love the scent of the 'rose' essential oil.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful range-P.S my husband says to tell you he loves the way I smell 'Lovely oil'....
Karen, Clear Mountain Q 3/01/2007- I have suffered from psoraisis for many years and have tried many,many different shampoos which were sold as treatments. Nothing worked. It took a few weeks for my scalp to get the full benefit from the Rosemary 2-in-1 shampoo but now it is great for both my hair and scalp. I don't need to wash every day to stop the itching and love the fact that the 1st time in my life I don't need conditioner. I ran out of the shampoo for a week and had to return to an old shampoo that previously was the least irritating but found it left my head itchy and I could feel the buildup.None of the tingling freshness I feel after shampooing with the 2-in-1 shampoo.
I also use the face cleanser and find it also great.East to use,easy to take travelling. I don't have to use moisturiser most times but do choose to use Rosehip oil most days and blockout when I go out. I've just started my 2 daughters on the face cleansor because it is so gentle.
Domina, Brisbane Q 24/04/07 - to the Creator of Gypsy Rose-Thank you, thank you, thank you! You gave me a sample of the rosemary 2 in 1 shampoo, a couple of Saturdays ago at 'Mrs Flannery's ' Taringa. I shaved my hair for cancer last year, because I wanted to do something , instead of watching my friends die. This event opened me, and I've sinced learnt alot about the harmful effects of the chemicals we are inadvertently bombarded with in our food;cosmetics;perfumes;plastics;detergents etc on a daily basis. this knowledge has changed my life for the greener and lead me to discover your product.
I have been struggling with oily roots and dry frazzled ends for a few years now, which I was putting down to age, because no hairdresser or product seemed able to fix the problem (not even shaving). From the 1st wash I noticed a real change in the overall condition of my hair and after 2 weeks I can assure you I've become a devotee to Gypsy Rose 2 in 1 shampoo with rosemary. I find your overall philosophy inspiring and thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Lee, Deception Bay Q 2/11/07 -I have long thick wavy dark hair, it always seemed to get really oily very quickly, but seemed dry on the ends, all shampoosjust didn't workafter a week. I found Gypsy Rose 2 in 1 shampoo with Rosemary in a local Health Food shop. Ive been using it for 2 months with stunning results. My hair dries in curls now where it used to dry fluffy, I don't need to wash it as much, it's much more mana, and I don't get an itchy scalp anymore! I use it on my childrens hairand it makes their hair soft and bouncy. We wash our hair lees times in a week now and the one bottle I bought has lasted 8-9 wks!!! If I need to ever tame our hair down a bit I just use the "leave-in Conditioner"with Rosemary sparingly. My hairdresser is amazed at how healthy my hair is.
Marnie, Kilkivan Q 21/01/09-It is interesting to compare the ingredients of commercial hair & skin cleansors to Gypsy Rose producrs. All the ingredients of Gypsy Rose are familiar to a non-scientist like myself. Therefore, without the need of a degree in chemistry, I understand exactly what I am rubbing into the pores of my skin. Gypsy Rose shampoo and Hair Shine (I use it as a treatment) safeguards the condition of my hair without having to shampoo so often. Its natural scents establish a better harmony with my senses-which is important, considering that I must constantly inhale them. They do not smell like chemicals. My hair feels and appears thicker (using Rosemary one) without the frizziness caused by other products.
Gypsy Rose soap does not dry out the face and I have no need for costly and time consuming moisturisers and Gypsy Rose " Lovely oil" is the most subtle and pleasant scent I can apply to my skin.
Gypsy Rose products are an advance in the way we regard personnal hygene. They have taken it out of the test tube and restored it to nature-where it rightfully belongs.
Sue, Melbourne VIC 23/03/09 -Hi there, just to let you know it's nice to have found product that actually does what it says it's going to do. I have used it for the 1st time today and can't believe it after one use my hair is how I want it. I am throwing all the other products out that have sucked me in with thier advertising and telling as many people about your products they are the best. Sincerely Sue. Thanks again
Karen , Gunalda Q 5/07/10- I am so thrilled with Gypsy Rose products. I have been usingthe shampoo for awhile. I had a bad patch of excema on my scalp. The gypsy Rose Shampoo cleared it up in a couple of weeks. When my husband saw this he used it on his beard. He has a full beard and has suffered with dry itchy skin on his face, after using GR products it cleared up. It is great stuff and I happily recommend it to anyone.
Caroline , Sunshine Coast Q 18/05/10-Your shampoo is completely AMAZING. I absolutely love it! I first found it when my mum brought home a couple of samples and I loved them so much...they did wonders to my hair that no other shampoo had ever done before. I then searched everywhere for your shampoo and couldnt find it ANYWHERE,I was so disappointed. Then a year later I strolled into my local natural food store, and there it was...I bought a huge bottle and I still love it as much as I loved the magical samples I found so many months ago. I love that your products are ALL natural and that it\'s Australian made, it makes me feel like I'm contributing to the environment as well as contributing to my health :) Thank you SO MUCH GYPSY ROSE I will continue using you forever. I am also so excited because my mum bought me the face wash today so I'm excited to use it!
How can a bottle of liquid turn your hair into a soft fragrant dream..
I mean when its wet it feels really dry, but when it dries..HEAVEN
Cristl , Manly Brisbane Q 14/06/11 - I have been using Top to Toe for 2 months and I love it. I rub it into my bare nails at night and they have never looked healthier. An unexpectedbonus of T 2 T was - after rubbing it on a patch of solar keratosis on my upper lip for 4 weeks it has completely cleared up, so far with no recurrence.
I love the soaps too, after cleansing and drying my skin is left with a lovely calming fragrance, the only thing wrong is the fragrance fades after a while. Now what we need is a liquid body wash??
Brenda , Maleny Q 10/12/11- I have been using your two in one shampoo (Lavender)for 18 months now and i have to tell you its just fantastic-it takes a little while too get use to as it doesnt foam up like commercial brands but its so invigorating on the scalp and leaves my hair and scalp feeling fabulous. I work in a health store and am always getting comments on my hair-thank you Karen
Jo-Ann , Brisbane Q 4/1/12- I am so thankful to have discovered your Rosemary shampoo. I bought the bottle from a health food store because of it's impressively natural list of ingredients. My expectations weren't high but i was happy to give it a go. I cannot reccomend this product highly enough, it is beautiful. I'd like to quote from a book "The breast cancer Prevention Guide" by Sandra Cabot and naturopath Magaret Janinska, page 101."According to the US Environmental Working group, more than 10.500 ingredients are approved for use in cosmetics, 89% of them have never been tested for safety by any publicly accountable institution". Information like that is frightful but necessary, so products like this one are a breath of fresh airin this chemically saturated world. Thank You
Alison , Blackall Range Q 28/04/12-THANKS to the beautiful gypsy who gave me a free shampoo sample at Mrs Flannerys (Maroocydore). As she promised I saw results after 2 uses, on my thinning grey hair. Im now using the rosemary shampoo and the hairspray and can really note the difference. Good on you girl!
