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!!!

Hello, my name is Carly Arden. I want to thank Dr. Peter for bringing back my ex-husband. I was once a skeptic, never believing in magic spells, but a trusted co-worker convinced me to give Dr. Peter a try. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. After two divorces, my third marriage was falling apart, and I was desperate. My husband had left me again, and I didn’t know what to do. Dr. Peter’s love spell worked like a miracle—my husband came back, and we are now happier than ever. Dr. Peter helped us realize how much we love and need each other. If you’re dealing with a broken relationship, Dr. Peter can help. You can reach him via: WhatsApp: +1 (646) 494-4360

This was supposed to be my retirement dream, the opportunity to invest in foreign currencies that promised exceptional growth and stability. I have worked hard my entire life as a school teacher, and the thought of finally having some extra income was thrilling. When my colleague introduced me to an online trading platform, I felt like my dreams were just an investment away. What struck me at first was the platform’s customer testimonials filled with euphoric success stories. I was inspired to invest $15,000, thinking I could secure a comfortable living for my later years. At first, everything was seamless, the dashboard contained various tools that made trading seem simple. I watched videos of experts explaining market trends, and for a while, I felt like a seasoned trader. However, in my fourth month of investing with the platform, I noticed alarming signs. Initial profits diminished drastically and withdrawal requests took forever. My mindset shifted from optimism to despair as the platform began to limit my access more and more, citing “ technical errors ” that never seemed to be resolved. In my frantic attempts to retrieve my money, I sought out the support desk which turned out to be unhelpful. Every time I managed to speak to someone, the conversation always ended with a form of payment needing to be made by me. Then one day, I chanced upon a Facebook group dedicated to victims of cyber fraud. Unbeknownst to me, many individuals had lost their retirement savings as well. In a moment of solidarity, I was introduced to JETHACKS RECOVERY FIRM a team of recovery specialists who had successfully helped other victims reclaim their lost funds. the idea seemed a bit far fetched but it was a necessary path I chose to navigate to reclaim my assets. Using the contact details I found online, I contacted the team’s email : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM to which they responded and accepted to take on my case. Thankfully, after 2 days of great work from the team, the total sum of my assets including my profits was recovered back to my accounts, I checked and it was all there. My gratitude knows no bounds and I could never thank the team enough not to mention, the wonderful group on Facebook who set me on the right path to reclaiming my financial freedom.
My father had always warned me about the dangers of “too good to be true” schemes, yet the allure of making quick money blurred my judgment. I still remember the first time I stumbled across that glossy advertisement promising unbelievable returns on investments. It was polished, sophisticated, and seemed so legitimate. It was an online trading platform claiming to be at the forefront of cryptocurrency investments, and as someone always fascinated by technology and finance, I was instantly hooked. After a week of researching, I decided to register with them and deposited a tentative amount of $10,000 for a start thinking of it as an investment in my future. The first few weeks were exhilarating. I watched my account balance inch up, with my portfolio seemingly growing by the day. The platform offered high returns which led me to injudiciously invest all my savings, Little did I know that I was on the path to becoming a victim. To my shock, I woke up one day to see my account balance reading negative. The platform had suddenly restricted withdrawals and the customer service that had once been so responsive was now unresponsive. I remember feeling sick to my stomach, My instincts screamed at me that I had been scammed. As my desperation grew, I went online and spent countless hours researching for possible solutions. That’s when I stumbled upon a post on Quora with comments from other angry victims of investment scams. The stories were heartbreaking and eerily similar to mine. I contacted JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE specializing in tracking down lost funds from online scams. What followed was a professionally designed and conducted tailor made approach to tracking down my assets, you just know these guys are very capable and within 72 hours, I received a significant amount of my investment recovered swiftly. The emotional toll, however, was profound. The trust I once had in online investments was shattered but through the experience, I learned valuable lessons about investing. Today, armed with a learned caution, I advocate for others to remain vigilant against similar scams and if already you’re faced with a possible scam situation with your assets, you can get in touch with the team using any of their contact support infos, Email support : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL .

When I first encountered the Ontega group investment online, it felt like I had struck gold. I had been looking for a way to make my savings grow, and the promises of high returns for little effort seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Like many others, I was drawn in by the glossy advertisements and impressive testimonials from “satisfied” investors. Little did I know that I was about to fall into a trap that would leave me devastated. I invested a portion of my life savings, convinced that I was making a wise financial decision. Everything seemed perfect In the beginning. I received regular updates about my investment’s growth, and the platform even allowed me to withdraw a small portion of my funds as a test. This only fueled my excitement and led me to invest even more. But then the withdrawals stopped. What had once been a smooth process turned into a nightmare. Every time I attempted to process a withdrawal, I was met with an error messages. I tried to contact customer support, but I was made to sort some fees to clear my withdrawals and when I couldn’t afford to pay the fees, my emails were ignored. It dawned on me that I had been scammed. Panic and despair washed over me, I began searching for solutions.. luckily for me, I discovered JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE service that proved to help individuals like me regain their lost funds. Skeptical but desperate, I took the plunge and contacted them using their contact support details online,

To my amazement, about 72 hours after of intense work on their side, they were able to trace and successfully extract back my funds into my account. I couldn’t believe it! The relief I felt was overwhelming. Thanks to the dedicated team at the recovery service, I was able to reclaim my hard earned money. This experience taught me a valuable lesson about investing and the importance of due diligence. I am now an advocate for financial literacy, sharing my story to prevent others from falling victim to scams.
