Old school barber skills reap big time rewards

Team GIBS welcomes Steve Vilot to the family!

“Write and draw your dreams on paper in details. My dreams have appeared. Over and over and over.” ~ Steve Vilot

Steve Vilot, owner of Sims Barbershops and director of Barber Authority is old school. So old school he’s been a master barber more than half his life. So old school he penned this interview on paper. So old school his small-town barber skills land him on tour with some of music’s biggest names. This husband and father of two sons turned a one chair shop into an 11 seater and we just had to have him on Team GIBS. Meet Steve Vilot, and grab a pen.

Describe yourself in five words: Dad, husband, barber, friend and sex symbol.

You made it to Team GIBS. What’s your secret? I’m a 26 year, overnight success story. Write and draw your dreams on paper in details. My dreams have appeared. over and over and over.

What are you known for? I grew up in a small town; I had to take care of everybody. Age, race, short, long, beards and shaves. I have found my hair tricks cross over; the real depth comes through.

What do you want us to know about you? I love to cut hair. I’m constantly visualizing to the flow. It’s a live instant art project. I was in the business for 13+ yrs when I was featured in Milady Textbook. Then I started working for the Art of Shaving doing popup shaves in store. Working in New York and Boston regularly changed my world. I was hired to teach P!nk how to do a fake shave for a movie in which she plays a barber. Next thing I know I’m on tour with Eminem... then Dave Mathews. It’s been fun.

Favorite GIBS combo? Hitman Texturizing Spray and Outlaw Hair Spackle. I do three to four sprays of Hitman and blow-dry… another three to four sprays, more blow dry. Then light with Outlaw. It rocks. Every time.

Tips for aspiring barbers/stylists coming up in the game? I have been gifted the ability to take my tools across the world because I put in 110%. Don’t treat this profession as a side hustle.

How you enjoying Team GIBS? The GIBS family is something I didn’t see until it happened. It’s Merry Christmas, Happy New Year AND Thanksgiving with 20plus like-minded hair professionals. It’s powerful.

Eminem, Dave Matthews… You do a lot of big names. Surprisingly, they have a hard time finding a barber to take care of the whole crew. That’s why the small town barber is a great fit to take care of them all. With Dave Mathews, I do 62 people, from Dave to the bus driver. With Eminem, I do 16 people and my favorite is shaving Paul Rosenberg’s head. Paul is Em’s manager and CEO of Def Jam Records. They take me around the world to do it.

What makes a great barber/stylist? Passion to cut, shave and style your friends. Everyone that sits in my chair is an instant friend.

You bring more to the table: I tour as a barber and I love it. I have two shops in my hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and started my new chapter in October 2017, with Barber Authority Nashville. Stay tuned!!!

Find Steve all over Instagram at @simsbarbershop and @barberauthority, a collective of top name barbers offering premium, pop-up services throughout the music, action and motor sports and entertainment industries.

My humble regards to everyone reading comments on this platform and a great thanks to the admin who made this medium a lively one whereby everyone can share an opinion, I am Mr. Tanisław Aureliusz, from Lodz, POLAND but live in London, UK. I’m an Engineer by profession, I had a serious health issue that took me a few months to get back to work, during this period of some months I came across an advert with a lot of good comments under the trading broker platform. I was very interested so I decided to contact the trading platform and invest with them, after my first deposit I was told there was an increase in buying stocks so I had to send another money and this whole thing continued for a good 8 months. before I could realize I was already bankrupt when I discovered that I had been scammed for a total sum of $414,910, I tried to get some recommended hackers online but I ended up getting scammed of an additional $15k, it hurt me so much, I already gave it up but then I came in contact with SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST who I also message directly via email: talk2us@sacluxcomptechspecialst.com  OR sacluxcomptechspecialst@engineer.com
and he responded to me urgently and helped me to get back all my funds, everything was sent to me at once. SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST proves to me that scammed crypto can be recovered. Thank you for all you do.

Investing in cryptocurrency was supposed to be an exciting venture, but when the platform I used suffered a major security breach, it became a nightmare. The attack led to the loss of a significant portion of my investments and left me with no immediate access to my funds. The platform’s collapse was a severe blow, and recovering my assets seemed like an uphill battle. The breach was devastating. The attackers managed to exploit vulnerabilities in the platform’s security, gaining unauthorized access to user wallets and transferring funds to untraceable addresses. The immediate fallout included a complete shutdown of the platform and the inability to access or recover my assets. Faced with this crisis, I turned to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE a top digital asset recovery firm known for its expertise in handling complex cryptocurrency cases. The team’s response was swift and highly effective. They began by conducting a thorough data analysis to understand the breach’s nature and identify the stolen funds.
The recovery process involved advanced skill sets and know how to trace the stolen cryptocurrency. The team worked diligently to follow the funds movements across various transactions and exchanges. They collaborated with cryptocurrency exchanges and used de-anonymization techniques to identify and freeze some of the fraudulent accounts. In addition to tracing and recovering my funds, the team provided invaluable guidance on securing my remaining assets and protecting against future breaches. They implemented enhanced security measures and advised on best practices for managing cryptocurrency investments. The results were impressive. A significant portion of my stolen assets was recovered, and the platform’s security was bolstered against future attacks. This experience underscored the importance of working with professionals who understand the complexities of cryptocurrency recovery. I am incredibly thankful for the JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE team’s expertise and dedication. Their efforts not only helped me reclaim my investments but also provided me with a deeper understanding of how to safeguard my digital assets and I will be sharing their support contacts below;

The Salvage Asset Recovery team has indeed lived up to their sterling reputation, and I can unequivocally vouch for the service they provide. My cryptocurrencies journey began with the bitter realization of falling victim to a fraudulent investment business, resulting in the loss of $220,000 worth of Bitcoin. The initial shock and devastation were palpable, but a glimmer of hope emerged when my dashboard displayed a balance of nearly $332,000 just weeks later. However, this hope was short-lived as my attempts to withdraw the funds were met with relentless denials, casting a shadow of doubt and despair over my once-optimistic outlook. Despite my persistent efforts to reach out to the purported support team, my pleas for assistance fell on deaf ears, leaving me feeling abandoned and helpless in the face of adversity. Driven by desperation and an unwavering resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine, I began scouring alternative avenues for recourse.
