Hail - Dark Aesthetics — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

What a dope little shop!! Full of all kinds of treasures, from taxidermy to vintage T-shirts, Hail Nashville truly transcends any description I could conjure in an attempt to categorize this place.. I learned about them a few years back when an artist I was working with had them deliver several impressive pieces to his studio in order to set the vibe for a multi-month residency.. A beautifully preserved and stuffed full size wolf, outrageous antlers and some vintage ashtrays were among the objects, and they all made a lasting impression on me.. So when I was recently in Nashville shooting music videos I stopped in to inquire about renting some prop pieces and I was met with great spirits by the gentlemen behind the counter.. They offered up essentially all I could need to create some epically creepy concepts and they were extremely fair on pricing.. All in all this place is an amazing addition to the ever evolving landscape and cultural phenomenon that is Nashville Tennessee.. They’re fully deserving of your business and of all the success that will continue to come their way.. Thanks guys for being generally awesome and adding flavor and flare to one of my favorite cities...

This place is absolutely incredible!! Every single inch of the inside of this store has something unique and fascinating in it. I’m not entirely sure how this place took so long for me to visit, since it’s been on my radar for the better part of a year now. But so glad that I finally decided to make a stop in. So much wonder and curiosity filled my mind every step I took. There is something for every person searching for a ‘dark aesthetic’. I also didn’t plan on spending any money, just went to check it out, but was able to find something that I’ve been looking to add to my home office for many years now! So excited to make this a month regular stop for me to check out all the cool new things they get in, or a ‘must have’ I might have glanced over from previous trips. Other than the building and items, the staff was great too! When we walked in, we were instantly greeted and told that if we needed absolutely any help to let them know. She gave us more than enough space to look around on our own without feeling like we were being pressured into buying anything, but was also close by to be engaging as well. So stoked to tell everyone...

The concept of this place is cool but they’re scamming you. A gator skull cracked in pieces with half its teeth missing shouldn’t cost $500. All the small skulls and wets are priced at a 150-200% increase. Some of them aren’t even stored properly and you can tell because the isopropyl alcohol has dissipated leaving the specimen in contact with air. I’ve been preserving wet and dry specimens forever and can tell you that no normal shop would charge what they charge. They’re selling fake crystal quartz trees for $10 when you can buy the SAME exact one for $5 at five below (seriously go look and compare, it’s the same packaging!) Whoever owns this store is either buying other people’s work and selling it for triple the price or price gouging on their own work. I was gonna go into their museum since it’s only $5 but after seeing the insane rip off prices I was afraid I was going to get ripped off for that as well. Shop at your...
