“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!!!

As a financial consultant, I am well aware of the risks associated with investments, but even I was caught off guard by the sophistication of an online investment scam I encountered. The experience was a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls in the digital investment landscape. Thanks to proficient recovery services from J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E ( Email ; J E T H A C K S 7 @ G M A I L . C O M / Telegram support ; J E T H A C K S S ) , I was able to recover my lost digital assets and regain my financial footing. I was introduced to an online investment company through a professional network. The company offered lucrative investment opportunities in emerging markets with impressive projected returns. After conducting preliminary due diligence, I decided to invest a substantial sum. However, things quickly went awry. Soon after my investment, the platform began showing signs of instability. Withdrawal requests were delayed, and customer service became unresponsive. Eventually, the platform went offline, and I discovered that it had been a scam. My investments seemed to have vanished, and I was left with no recourse through the usual channels. My referrer also vanished subsequently after the sudden shutdown of the platform which meant there was no way to directly address the issue with the perpetrators. Recovering funds from an online scam requires specialized knowledge and tools, which I did not have at my disposal. I reached out to the Leading digital asset recovery Team J E T H A C K S renowned for handling cases involving online investment scams. Their team took a systematic approach to the problem. They started by performing a detailed assessment of the situation before initiating the tracing process of my transactions with the scam platform. The recovery team employed the much required highly sophisticated and advanced techniques to track the stolen funds. They examined transaction histories and followed the trail of the assets through various digital wallets which lasted for about 48 hours before the team successfully recouped my crypto assets into my external wallet. I am deeply appreciative of the recovery team’s efforts in handling my case, it has saved the lives of my family and I, and am hoping this information can be helpful to anyone reading this and in need of professional assistance with their digital assets recovery.

Wow, the skills of old-school barbers truly stand the test of time! Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are impressive. Just like exploring the hidden gems of wisata jogja, where traditional charm and quality still shine through. It’s amazing how some things never go out of style!

As a tech entrepreneur, I’ve always been cautious about where I invest my money. However, when I was approached by an online investment company promising high returns with minimal risk, I was intrigued. Unfortunately, the company turned out to be a sophisticated fraud, and I lost a substantial amount of money. The journey to recover my lost digital assets was challenging but ultimately successful, thanks to expert intervention. The investment company I engaged with appeared legitimate. They had a professional website, provided detailed investment plans, and had convincing testimonials. After investing a significant amount of money, I started noticing discrepancies in my account statements. Initially, I brushed them off as minor errors, but as the discrepancies grew, it became clear that something was seriously wrong. It wasn’t long before the platform suddenly went offline, and I lost access to my investment account. My attempts to contact their support team were met with silence. Alarmed, I realized I had fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme. The company had vanished, leaving me with no way to recover my assets through conventional means. Recovering assets from a fraudulent company is inherently difficult. The primary challenge was the company’s sudden disappearance meant there was no one to hold accountable, the absence of clear communication channels and the complexity of tracing digital transactions added layers of difficulty. I needed a solution that could handle these challenges and navigate the complexities of digital asset recovery. Determined to recover my lost assets, I enlisted the help of a reputable digital asset recovery firm by the name JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. Their team immediately began by scrutinizing all transaction records, analyzed server logs, and traced the flow of funds to identify where my money had gone. They worked diligently to follow the trail left by the fraudsters and fortunately for me, my funds was recouped back to my account within 72 hours of launching the process. For anyone in need for expert intervention and support in recovering their digital assets , you can reach out to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE with the below information,

Trading online offers incredible opportunities, but when my trading platform suffered a severe failure, it became a test of resilience. The platform experienced a cyber attack that compromised my trading data and left me without access to my assets. The attack was a serious concern. Scammers hacked the platforms database and gained access to investors accounts, manipulating trading records and funneling money into their own pockets. This led to the loss of access to my assets and disrupted ongoing trades. Faced with the fallout, I sought help from JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE a digital asset recovery firm with expertise in handling trading platform attacks. The team’s approach was highly effective. They started by conducting a thorough investigation and testing to identify the source of the attack and have the funds retrieved. The recovery process involved several key steps. The team restored lost trading data using advanced recovery techniques and traced the stolen funds to identify any misappropriated assets. They also collaborated with financial institutions to monitor and recover the funds involved in the attack.
The recovery process was both demanding and successful. The team was able to recover my portion of my lost assets along with many other investors and provided detailed reports on the fraudulent activities. Their efforts restored my confidence in securing my future in this digital age and with the experience, I’ve come to realize the need for expert intervention in managing intricate recovery scenarios and I am deeply appreciative of the recovery team’s efforts. I contacted the team on Telegram via their official support @ JETHACKSS but they are also active on email, the email ID is JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM
