VINCENT GRAVALLESE

Owner. Master Barber.

Vincent Gravallese is the Creator and Proprietor of Derby Supply Company. He is a Master Barber and the Director of Education and Training.

The legacy of haircutting was not only passed down by his mom, but can be traced through his lineage to his great uncle and great-grandfather.

In 2008 he attended the Reno Paul Mitchell Academy, where he graduated with a degree in cosmetology. In 2010 he emerged as an educator and studied under various masters of the industry. 

In an effort to pursue his vision of starting a shop for men—a place to rekindle the lost art and tradition of barbering—he expanded his talents and skills by entering barber college in Sacramento CA. 

Vincent is involved and has a working relationship with the community. He has volunteered his time and skill for five years with the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation. He has also participated in Movember, Haircuts for the Homeless and various other charitable events. 

Vincent remains on cutting edge of his profession and maintains the utmost integrity and passion for his craft.  

Tim Cook is a Journeyman Barber and Shop Floor Manager at Derby Supply Company. 

He attended the Toni and Guy Academy in Denver, CO in 2006. A few years later he began an apprenticeship at Fellow Barber in New York. After his apprenticeship he decided to attend Barber College in Chicago in 2014 and upon completing the program moved to Reno.

Living on both coasts and in the Midwest has helped him cultivate a very unique and creative point of view as a barber. Regardless if it’s a classic professional men’s cut or something you’ve seen in a fashion magazine he knows what works.

Nick Petrelli is a Journeyman Barber at Derby Supply Company.  He has been working in the industry since 1984 and remains as passionate and creative as the day he started.

His years of seasoned experience in the industry brings a unique and valuable presence at Derby.

Troy is a Journeyman Barber at Derby Supply Company. He accelerated to the top of his profession due to his hard work, passion for the industry, and being mentored by Master Barber, Vincent Gravallese, from the very beginning.

He has participated in Movember, St. Baldricks, and many other charity events.  Giving back to the local community, as well as spreading the awareness of Men’s Grooming and Barbering, are just a few of Troy’s many passions.
