About

Di Di Payne Artistry is located at 2301 N Collins St, Suite 210, Room 13, in Arlington and works by appointment only, booked through the service menu on the website. The business covers hair, makeup, wigs, locs and braids. The business states that its mission is to deliver a level of service above what clients expect, and it describes itself as challenging how fashion, beauty and wellness intersect.

The business sells Ruby's Roots Organics, a hair and skincare line that was relaunched in December 2020. The products began as handmade batches sold to colleagues before the line expanded. Product inquiries and orders are handled through a separate contact option rather than the booking page.

Most services start with a consultation. Color, corrective color, loc extensions, bridal work and custom wigs all require one, and color services also include a strand test. Virtual consultations are available for services the stylist will perform: requests are reviewed for approval, then a video link is emailed. An in-person consultation fee can be credited toward a future service if it is booked during that visit.

Scheduling has a few firm rules. Same-day appointments are not offered when the start time would be before noon. Braid appointments must be booked at least 24 hours ahead and need a deposit at booking, or they are cancelled. Individual twists and braids do not include a wash, while crochet does. Box braids, spring twist and passion twist are no longer offered. Website messages receive a reply within 48 hours, and a chat option is available for quick questions.

The business also runs the Kreative Ninja Academy, a design development academy for beauty professionals, which Di Di Payne leads.

Consultations come before most services so the plan is set with the client first, and the stated aim is to exceed what clients expect.
