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!!!

I wanted to take the time to properly thank the team at J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E who have been nothing short of exceptional and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I was involved in a messy financial investment with a dishonest company, and to their immense credit the team didn’t judge but listened to my situation, provided unbiased and sound professional advice and only then asked if I wanted to proceed. I work within the finance industry, & was dubious of the potential to assist with my circumstances, but due to the excellent service recommendation from a friend and having exhausted all avenues to fight it myself, I hesitantly decided to hire J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E to fight on my behalf. The team’s role in the recovery exercise was crucial, in fact it was the only role as they worked on my behalf while I watched the team perform what seemed impossible to previous recovery agents & today, am delighted to report that the team successfully traced and recouped back my funds from the fraud company accounts and into my bank account. I simply cannot thank the team enough for their professionalism, diligent dedication and tenacious attention to making sure my funds were swiftly retrieved . If you have a financial investment problem and are willing to recover it back, I cannot think of a better firm to have on your side than J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E and it’s team of proved professional hackers that have got the ability and knowledge to trace down every form of transaction and possibly have them reverted, they are available on the below contact informations,
