Learn Hairdressing at Zido Academy: Real Skills, No Fluff
Forget stuffy classrooms and boring lectures. At Zido Academy, we teach hair the way we do it—loud, honest, and hands-on. Whether you’re learning from Dodo’s barbering magic or Zing’s color theory, come ready to get your hands dirty and join the family.
This photo was taken years ago, but it captures the beginning of our journey. We started Zido with a dream to help people express themselves through hair, and that same passion drives our academy today.
A very real conversation with Zing about her journey, the challenges for professionals from the Northeast, and how our partnership with Dodo makes Zido work. We believe in honest talk and sharing our experiences.
In this interview, Zing talks about what makes our salon and academy different. It's all about personalized experiences, focusing on our strengths, and a true passion for education.
A shot celebrating our salon's 15-year anniversary. Our longevity is built on dedication to the craft, and we bring that same commitment to our students.
The Zido family. We are a team, a community, and we bring that loud, supportive, 'fish market' vibe to our training sessions.
A glimpse into our salon life. We believe that learning should be fun and that a happy, laughing team does the best work. This is the energy you'll find at our academy.
Here we are on the HBS stage, sharing our knowledge on everything from color care to layering techniques. We love opportunities like this to connect with and educate fellow hair professionals.

A quick recap of a year at Zido. It's a mix of client work, education, and team fun. This is what a life dedicated to hair looks like for us.
About Meet the Educators: The Zido Vibe
You won't find a sterile, textbook environment here. Our academy is a working salon floor where you’ll learn on mannequins, move on to live models, and get real-time feedback on your posture and precision. If you’re here for the 'Advanced Barbering' course, for instance, you're not just watching—you're actually cutting and fading under Dodo’s watchful eye for two full days.
Why Learn at Zido?
We started Zido 15 years ago with one goal: to create a space where hair is an expression, not just a service. Our academy is an extension of that mission. We don't just dump theory on you. We want you to understand why a specific fade works with a skull shape or how color physics changes when you’re dealing with Indian hair textures.
Our 'Fish Market' Method
We call our academy vibe a 'fish market' for a reason—it’s loud, it’s chaotic in a good way, and it’s packed with passionate hair talk. You’ll be in the thick of the action at our Bandra West spot, learning alongside the team that actually runs the salon.
- Dodo’s Barbering: It’s all about muscle memory. From classic skin fades to hot towel shaves, you’re handling real tools like Jaguar scissors and Andis clippers.
- Zing’s Color Lab: We go deep into custom mixology, swatching, and bleaching safety. No guesswork, just science.
- Braid Army: We’re building a community of braiders in India, starting with geometric sectioning and grip control.
The Bottom Line
We believe in mentorship, not gatekeeping. We share the hacks, the mistakes, and the wins that helped us build this brand in Mumbai. Whether you're a beginner or a stylist looking to level up your craft, you're here to gain skills that actually work in the real world. Come ready to work hard, ask the 'dumb' questions, and maybe learn a thing or two about life in the city along the way.
