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!!!

Financial frauds is not today news to the majority of us who have been meted with this inhumane act at some point of our lives. I was shocked to discover the magnitude of these financial frauds upon further research into this matter, of which the most popular and it seems has become the worst of them all is the investment scam. It usually starts off with minimal initial deposit and eventually you tend to put in more money then before you realize it, you find yourself borrowing more from friends, family and even taking loans from bank with the promise that each fee was going to be your last. My consultations with J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E has helped me realize that such companies/platforms who exhibit these system of behaviors have no intention whatsoever to release due payments to clients irrespective of how much you’re being owed. To simply put it, it had always been a well designed elaborate scam from the onset so you and I are mere prey’s to them, but we fail to see this bigger picture because of the huge returns and profits we’re being promised until it’s almost too late if not too late already. Be careful as there is a lot of these platforms out there. however I was determined to get back my monies notwithstanding the fact that many people told me this was practically impossible. Firstly, I’d like to say a very big THANK YOU! to the whole Team at J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E for how the team responded and handled my case from day one, Companies with this type of integrity are very few and far between. some of us have been fortunate enough to successfully repossess back what we’d thought was lost to the scammers through the services of J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E whom like my predecessors, I also consulted their services via the firm’s Telegram support @ J E T H A C K S S and provided the necessary details which had enabled the successful tracing and retrieval of my invested funds on the platform approx. $ 485,000 usd back to my external wallet address. We don’t get many second chances in all of our lifetime but when we do, it is paramount that we never repeat the same mistake again.

I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her.  I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours. Contact him now if you need any help text him on WhatsApp: +2348133261196 or review his page for more info (https://isikolo-temple.com)

It is essential that we raise awareness about the damaging effects of digital investment Ponzi schemes and support those who may be struggling financially as an aftermath of their involvement with such schemes. Let’s come together as a community to provide education, resources, and a helping hand to those in need. By doing so, we can create a safer and healthier cyberspace for everyone.
I went on a website and read a review I should have seen sooner. They seemed to have various but yet similar stories involving Ponzi schemes and methods by which their unsuspecting victims have been extorted, only there’s also involved testimonials from clients placing JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE on the forefront of leading digital assets recovery solution. I consider myself blessed but I will wonder, worry for years to come about all the increasing damages fraudulent people like this would do to their next victims, considering how low they will go to ensure they take all your money. And why in the world does the government do so very little to regulate such financial institutions? In my eyes, the authorities are also culpable in this. Please warn others. People with low financial system or simply enthusiastic about investing are already vulnerable, which makes Ponzi fraudsters architects, by design, lacking a soul. Please remember, if you or someone you know is struggling with or facing similar challenges in this area and have being unable to remove their assets, there is help available. Reach out to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, with their proficient team and superior knowledge in this field, there’s still a very good chance you can be able to recover your current assets in dispute. The firm is available on the below contact supports:
