-Vincenzo Federico-

 

It all started when…


I was born in the Bronx to Italian immigrant parents, the second of three boys. In grade school, my family moved north to New York's Capital Region, where my father opened a barber shop and beauty salon. After graduating high school, I earned a B.A. in Business through SUNY Oneonta. At twenty-one years old, I returned to the Albany area and opened my first shop. Over the next several years, I added branches of Vinny's Barber Shop throughout the region. Our flagship site was in Malta, a small town in Saratoga County, and that's where my wife and I built a home and started a family. Three kids later, we made the decision to expand into Naples, Florida, and we've never been happier! I don't see the barber shop as a place of work. For me, it's a second home. And our customers aren't just clients. They're family!
