“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!!!

A few months ago, I faced one of the most devastating experiences of my life. I had been tricked by a fraudulent online investment scheme that stole $62,300 of my savings. That money represented years of sacrifice, late nights, and careful planning for my future. When it disappeared, I felt completely crushed. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, and I kept asking myself how I could have been so blind.
I reached out to a few places for help, but most either gave me false promises or no real guidance. Honestly, I was ready to give up. That’s when someone recommended Rapid Digital Recovery, and I decided to give them a chance. Looking back, that was the best decision I ever made.
From the very first call, their team treated me like more than just another case. They listened patiently as I explained everything, and instead of judging me, they reassured me that scams can happen to anyone. That gave me a little peace of mind, but what truly stood out was their confidence and professionalism. They knew exactly what steps to take, and they explained the process so clearly that for the first time in weeks, I felt hope again.
The journey wasn’t easy, but Rapid Digital Recovery never gave up on me. They worked tirelessly, tracking digital trails, piecing together evidence, and using their expertise to chase down the stolen funds. Throughout the entire process, they kept me updated, answered my countless questions, and gave me the assurance that they were fighting for me every single day.
Then came the moment I’ll never forget: they successfully recovered my full $62,300. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. What I thought was lost forever had been restored and with it, my sense of stability and trust.
But this testimony isn’t just about the money. Rapid Digital Recovery gave me back my confidence. They reminded me that there are still genuine professionals out there who truly care about helping people. They turned my pain into a victory, and I will never stop recommending them to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I was in.
To the entire team at Rapid Digital Recovery, thank you for standing by me, thank you for your honesty, and most importantly, thank you for proving that recovery is possible. You didn’t just save my finances, you saved my peace of mind. Contact Info Below-

I never imagined I would become a victim of online trading scammers. Like many people, I was drawn in by the promise of quick profits and sleek looking platforms. Over several months, I invested heavily watching what I thought were my profits growing on the trading dashboard. It looked so real, But when I attempted to withdraw my earnings, the truth hit me like a brick wall. The so-called brokers began asking for extra payments tax fees, security deposits, verification charges until it became clear that I had been duped. My total loss was staggering: $550,000 worth of Bitcoin. I was devastated, ashamed, and convinced my money was gone forever. That’s when I came across Dexdert Net Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. After all, scammers had already cost me dearly. But after doing my research and speaking directly with their recovery specialists, I realized they operated differently. They didn’t make impossible promises; instead, they walked me through a professional process of blockchain tracing, cyber forensics, and legal coordination. The journey wasn’t instant. Dexdert Net Recovery carefully analyzed the wallet addresses involved, tracked the movement of my Bitcoin, Their communication with me was clear and transparent at every step I finally felt like someone was on my side. 5 days later, I received the news I thought I’d never hear: a substantial portion of my stolen Bitcoin had been successfully recovered. Seeing those funds restored was more than financial relief; it was emotional closure after months of despair. Today, I can confidently say that if not for Dexdert Net Recovery, my $550,000 would still be sitting in the hands of criminals. If you’ve ever felt hopeless after losing money to online scammers, don’t give up. There are real professionals who can help you fight back and for me, that team was Dexdert Net Recovery.

I lost $87,000 in a SIM swap attack. One moment my phone had service, the next it was dead. Within minutes, I was locked out of my email, my exchange accounts, and my entire crypto portfolio was emptied. The attacker had convinced my carrier to transfer my number, bypassed my two-factor authentication, and moved fast. I felt sick. Years of investing, gone in under an hour. That’s when I found TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
At first, I was hesitant—there are too many fake recovery “experts” out there. But Trojanhack was different. They were professional, clear, and moved fast. Within 48 hours, they had traced the stolen funds through multiple wallets, identified a key mistake the hacker made, and located the final destination—a KYC-verified account on a lesser-known exchange.
They worked directly with the exchange and law enforcement to freeze the account. In just under two weeks, every cent $87,000—was recovered. I don’t usually write testimonials, but Trojanhack earned this. They didn’t over promise. They delivered. If you’ve lost crypto to a hack or scam, don’t waste time rather get in touch with Trojanhack.
I got my money back because I called the right people and they can be contacted through their official E-mail address which is ( Trojanhack@qualityservice.com ) Give them a trial as they never disappoint.
