Professional Barbering Masterclasses with Dodo

I don't teach fluff. We deep dive into skull anatomy, fade transitions, and the art of the cut. If you're ready to get hands-on and stop guessing behind the chair, you're in the right place.

Here are some snippets from my Advance Fade Masterclass. I believe in hands-on education, teaching barbers the techniques to scale up their skills and deliver flawless fades.

A throwback to me on stage at Professional Beauty India in Delhi. I was demonstrating the latest men's haircut trends and my techniques for achieving them in front of a live audience.

Here I am on stage for Ikonic, breaking down a skin fade and crop haircut. Live education is a great way to connect with the barbering community and share my passion.

Getting December ready with Ikonic Professional. This shoot was all about showcasing different men's grooming styles, from sharp fades to styled beards, using professional-grade tools.

About this collection

Most barbering courses just show you a haircut and expect you to copy it, but that doesn't help you when you're stuck with a client in your own chair. My masterclasses are different because we break down the why. We focus on skull anatomy, face structure analysis, and exactly how to hold your clippers so you aren’t guessing. Whether you're stuck on your fade transitions or struggling to get a clean section, we solve that in the first hour. It’s hands-on, not just me talking.

I started Zido to create the kind of space I wish I had when I was learning—no gatekeeping, just real techniques that actually work.

Why these workshops matter

Being a barber isn't just about moving a clipper up and down. It’s about understanding hair density, head shape, and growth patterns.

  • Small Batches: I keep groups to a maximum of 5 students. This isn't a lecture hall; it's a workspace. You get my eyes on your technique, and I get to correct your posture and grip in real-time.
  • Technical Deep Dives: We cover everything from skin fades and French crops to modern mullet texture. We use premium tools and focus on the clean execution you see in my work.
  • The Business of Barbering: You’ll learn how to handle product confusion, how to talk to clients about what they actually need, and how to maintain your kit so it lasts.

What we cover

  • Face & Head Shape Analysis: Learning to spot the occipital bone and density points before you ever pick up a scissor.
  • Precision Cutting: Clipper-over-comb, scissor-over-comb, and shear work for texture.
  • Fade Geometry: The difference between a muddy blend and a crisp, clean fade.
  • Beard Architecture: Understanding jawline structure and how to mask patchiness.

This is for the barbers in Mumbai and beyond who are serious about their craft. If you’re here to chase trends, look elsewhere. If you’re here to master the fundamentals and build a career, come hang out at Zido. Let’s get to work.
