Springfield is larger and mostly junior and signature stylists, which the salon says is why its pricing tends to be more accessible.

About

The Walden operates from 209 S. 17th St. in Nashville and 108 W. 6th Ave. in Springfield. East Nashville is the smaller boutique location and its team is mostly senior and master stylists. Springfield is larger and mostly junior and signature stylists, which the salon says is why its pricing tends to be more accessible. Hair services and prices match across both salons, and pricing follows each stylist's level rather than the address.

Hunter Walden founded the business. The salon describes its culture as hospitality first, with every stylist trained to the same Walden standard and on a career path supported by ongoing education. Stylist levels run from junior to master and are based on demand, productivity and client retention, with pricing rising as a stylist moves up. The salon describes its hospitality as Michelin-worthy and says its East Nashville location is rated 5.0 on Google across more than 100 client reviews. It also calls itself a top 5 hair salon in Nashville for 2026, based on Google reviews.

A visit can include beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic snacks, hot towels, steam treatments and wool and cashmere blankets, and lunch is provided during extension appointments. Silent appointments are available for clients who want a quiet visit. Every service starts with built-in consultation time, and consultations are complimentary. Listed prices are starting points, and the stylist confirms the final price at the appointment. Hours at both salons are Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm. East Nashville is closed on Sundays, while Springfield is open Sundays by appointment only.

Curl cutting and extensions are among the most detailed parts of the menu. Curly hair is cut dry in its natural state, then cleansed, steamed, styled and diffused, and every curl cut includes a steam treatment and customized styling. The salon says many clients come after a long search for a stylist who understands curly hair and welcomes curly-haired clients. Extensions use hair the salon describes as 100% ethically sourced and hand-selected, matched to each client's texture and color, and the salon says its installs are done by certified extension specialists in Nashville. A spa is planned for Springfield and is not yet open.

Hospitality comes first, with the same training standard at both locations. Curly hair is cut dry in its natural state, then cleansed, steamed, styled and diffused.

Intimate, warm and welcoming, and described by the salon as a safe, inclusive space.
