## About Professional Barbering Education & Workshops

### My Approach

I keep things simple. No fancy quotes, just straight-up focus on the craft. For me, it’s all about believing in yourself, staying true to your art, and putting in solid effort. I don’t chase fame or money - I stick to barbering and let the rest follow.

### What You’ll Actually Learn

I’m here to help you level up your skills with real knowledge. We start with the basics - face and head analysis. You’ll get how to look at a person, not just copy a haircut from Insta. Structure matters.

- Deep dive into men’s haircut structure education
- All the fade techniques: skin fade, burst fade, taper fade - you’ll get hands-on with each one
- Clipper skills workshop, with tips on sectioning and finishing

Styling is where most get stuck. Sabse badi confusion hoti hai (The biggest confusion is) - which product to use? I break down wax, clay, pomade, and show you how to match them for every hair type and style you want.

### How I Teach

- Hands-on barber masterclass Mumbai, max 5 per batch for personal focus
- Mix of theory and practical - you work on mannequins and real heads, not just watch
- Certification at the end, so you have proof of your new skills
- I also do on-stage demos at big expos, with Q&A and live showcases

### Why Choose Me

I don’t do shortcuts. I teach you the why, not just the how. You get my decade-plus experience, from London School of Barbering to judging comps. My goal - help you find your own voice, not just follow trends.

## Meet your expert

[Dharmesh Hingorani](https://mytribe.in/dodothebarber)

### My story

Hey, we’re Zido Salon. Dodo here (real name Dharmesh, but who cares), and Zing too. We started Zido because, honestly, we just wanted a place to goof around and make people happy through hair. Bikes, beers, furry friends, and hair—that’s our thing. No cheesy quotes on the wall, just real, honest work and a bit of madness. We love sharing what we know, whether it’s a new fade or just some good old salon gossip.

### My work

- **Cuts, Fades, and More**: We do men's grooming, creative cuts like modern mullet haircut, pixies, bobs, all fades, and expert beard styling.
- **Style is an Attitude**: Hair should look natural, not too perfect. Something a little off? That’s where the magic is.
- **Small-Batch Barber Education**: We teach barbering in small groups—max 5. Deep dive into face structure hair analysis and real technique.
- **The Zido Vibe**: Pet-friendly salon, always full of laughs. Good hair, good mood, and maybe a cat on your lap.
- **Confused About Products?**: Aapko nahi pata kya lagana hai? (Don’t know what to use?) We’ll help you pick the right stuff for your style.
