About Specialized Hair Braiding
Welcome to Our Braid Space
People call our spot the 'Zido fish market' – it's always loud, full of laughs, and honestly, a bit chaotic. That's how we roll. When you come for specialized hair braiding, you're not just another head in the chair, you're part of the fam.
What Braids Mean to Us
I’ve been fighting for braids to get their respect in India for over ten years. For me, braids are not just a hairstyle, they’re a whole vibe – senti vibes, actually. Braiding is a chat, a story, not just copying a Pinterest pic. Your hair should say something about you.
Styles We Do
- Cornrows: Straight-backs, zigzags, or wild patterns. Want African cornrow styles or throw in some wild colors like blue-purple? We’ll make it happen.
- Box Braids: Long, chunky, classic. If you want box braid extensions, we’ll talk it out and create something that fits your mood.
- Yarn Braids: Super playful, using colored yarn and bits like silver charms. Go bold or mix it up. Yarn braid accessories always make it pop.

My Story
So, Zido started out with me, Zingranwon from Manipur, and Dodo, true Bombay style. We didn’t plan to be hair people, but here we are, 15 years and still snipping. I moved to Mumbai at 17, thought I’d clean windows, ended up loving hairdressing. Our Bandra spot is all about mixing cultures, celebrating every personality. We crack jokes, work hard, and give back—like donating sales or helping cancer patients with hair. It’s family vibes, not just a salon.
