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 had been living with a very poor financial situation for months, feeding 3 children by myself with no support . Unfortunately, sometimes, rent or food had to take precedence over all else. I’ve paid exponentially, for every single fee they charged me to withdraw my assets for as much as I could afford. I decided to educate myself and engaged myself in deep learning about online financial investment institutions; stock trading, crypto trading, forex, gold trading etc. In studying the complexities involving this digital realm of investing, I found many violations cases against many of these companies. After my shocking discovery, It was apparent that many of these online investment companies out there are frauds and do not fulfill their promises to the little guy. Unfortunately, I had to become a victim to learn this. I had proof and it did not matter to them but at that point, I had also discovered more than enough information to point me in the right direction to enlist the help of professionals that can save me from drowning and recoup my assets from the scammers. I was very skeptical and cautious enough, and researched several digital assets Recovery firms, and landed on JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. I made contact with the team via their email support : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM , they looked over my case and explained how the recovery process was going to be successfully handled.

Like anyone else it started off well, they did what they said for the most part. The profits were steady after being told they were custom, custom if you’re a premium member. You get assigned one of their top traders to ensure proper risk management and maximum profits return on investment without losses. I was 100% sold on the activities of this platform, the agent assigned to me raked in good numbers weekly and I was able to withdraw some in the first week. However, they turned me down on the closing week and also support said my account activities was in violation of some tax code nonsense, then they proceeded to freeze my assets past the withdrawal timeframe. my account was flagged for withdrawals due to the deposit demands I couldn’t meet up with given my financial situation. After having my requests rejected many times Instinctively, It felt like a pattern, I’m sure if it’s happening to me then it most definitely has happened to someone else before me. I did my research from which i uncovered a lot of claims by others that fit my exact situation. Based on my research, everyone starts having one issue or the other later down the line with their respective platforms, they never keep to their original agreements, nor do what was promised, makes me wonder if there’re truly genuine platforms out there.
