“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 was once a victim of a heart-wrenching cryptocurrency scam that left me devastated. I had invested a significant sum of $195,000 worth of Ethereum in an online investment platform, hoping to reap substantial profits. Little did I know that I was about to face a nightmare. As the weeks went by, my excitement turned into despair when I realized that the platform I had trusted was nothing more than an elaborate scheme to rob unsuspecting investors like me my hard-earned Ethereum, leaving me feeling helpless and betrayed. After extensive research, I came across Century Hackers Recovery Team, a crypto recovery specialist who helps victims like me regain their stolen assets. After weeks of tireless efforts, (century@cyberservices.com ) had successfully recovered a substantial portion of my lost Ethereum. To anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation, I urge you not to lose hope.

I know his reviews can be seen everywhere on this page already and my testimony might probably not measure up to the excellent reviews from his other clients but that’s notwithstanding the fact that he’s firm is the absolute best when it come to ethical and professional digital assets recovery service. working with this team has immensely improved my life so much that I wouldn’t be able to share it all without taking too much of your time so for that purpose, I will try and keep this very short. I started seeking professional help from third parties like the authorities after it got obvious to me that I was getting scammed by the company that guaranteed me my return on investments pending the outcome upon completion of the 30 tasks required but eventually started to display some shady behaviors to deny my withdrawal requests. This prompted me to reach out to the authorities but even that yielded no results for me, they just ended up wasting my time. In all honestly, a hacking digital assets recovery firm wasn’t the solution I had initially expected but it was a much required solution nonetheless. Alone and desperate, I rummaged through the internet in hopes of finding any meaningful information that could help in my situation, at that point I was ready to do anything as long as it doesn’t include more payment to the scammers.. Luckily I got to learn a lot about digital assets recovery firms and amongst the many recommendations I had, JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE stood out for me. The reviews about them felt secure, ethical and made me to trust their skills so I quickly contacted the Team with their email address JETHACKS7 @ GMAIL. COM and working with them has been nothing short of a miracle. with the funds I got recovered back to me by JETHACKS , i not only got to pay off the loans I took from close friends and colleagues,I also got to start my dream business. You can trust this firm, they know their stuff. They also operate on Telegram with the handle @ JETHACKSS so reach out to them today, you wont regret it.

I just had to put this out here because the truth is,everything that people tells you about digital assets recovery is not entirely true. I understand our past experiences is a huge deciding factor in our decision making and this alone, can easily change one’s perspective regarding the possibility of retrieving your rightful possessions especially when you’ve run into false agencies or firms impersonating the real guys. Initially, many people had told me that the chances of repossessing digital assets were very slim therefore I could either walk away from everything or try to pay off the required withdrawal fee in hopes that they will keep to their words but the problem was, it never stopped coming. I’m 54 years old and I knew within myself that am just being stringed along even though I didn’t want to admit it to anyone else because why do I have to pay an obviously manufactured tax levy of 56,000 usd before I could withdraw the balance on my portfolio, that’s a ridiculous amount of money that I could not afford given my financial situation at the time. With each payment giving rise to another issue, it became crystal clear to me what I had gotten myself into. I have known about JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE on Telegram user @ ‘’JETHACKSS ‘’ from my working days at Amazon so I decided to enquire about their services regarding my particular situation and thankfully they responded and gave assurances of being able to help even though I was quite anxious about this getting accomplished, but it was worth giving a shot so we went for it. A few days after we started the program, I started to see progress because he always kept me in the loop, the fraud company website already shut down like a month ago so I was scared that it could affect my case but the effort of the team proved to be efficient enough, with their skills and vast experience in this field, I got to have the full amount that was stuck on my portfolio balance recovered back to me on the third day, like a ray of sunshine my life shun bright again thanks to the JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE and team.

In this world, where promises of easy wealth floods our daily news outlets like never before, there still exists a safe haven for those who are unjustly mistreated in their financial ventures. Everywhere I turned, people seemed to be effortlessly raking in profits from the comfort of their own homes. It got me Intrigued so I decided to test the waters of digital finance. I sought guidance from a group of online traders, eager to join the group and start taking in my own profits, I took the plunge.. investing my hard earned savings in the hopes of reaping the benefits later. As time passed, I watched my investment grow, motivated by the promise of even bigger returns I upgraded to the top tier plan, But little did I know, the very hands that had promised to lift me to new heights were plotting to drag me down into the depths of despair. It wasn’t until I had invested a huge sum of USD 638,000.00 that I began to see through their charade. Despite my investments, at the end there were no returns, and no profits to show for my efforts. Desperate to recoup my losses, I pleaded with them to allow me to withdraw some funds to assuage my financial burdens, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. In a state of helplessness and despair, I turned to the authorities for help, hoping to hold those responsible accountable for their actions but even that bore no fruit at the end. It was in my darkest hour that a glimmer of hope emerged, in the form of a colleague who had faced a similar challenge. She spoke of JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, a team of experts renowned for their ability to navigate the complex web of online scams and fraudulent transactions. I quickly reached out to them, explaining my difficult situation and supplying them with every bit of evidence I possessed. The team really exceeded my expectations, they went above and beyond to make sure my every payment was successfully traced down and then, like a beam of light cutting through the darkness, came the news I had longed to hear.. my funds had been successfully recovered in full, i felt alive again. Today, I stand as a testament to the amazing work of this team, I do so with abundant joy and gratitude and I urge you to contact JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE for assistance if you face a similar situation.

I sincerely believe that a deep sensitization program will massively help to curtail the damages and activities of internet fraudsters of which it seems the most popular ones are the crypto and forex trading platforms/companies. Prevention they say is better than cure, not everyone might be lucky enough to come across legit and ethical recovery solution like some of us did thus a proper awareness program, podcast, seminars could’ve gone a long way to help people avoid getting scammed trying to get into any of the very lucrative above mentioned investments. I also do understand that it is only right for one to audit properly a prospective financial company before getting involved but since there’s not much pre existing knowledge of the pros and cons of this things and most prospective investors are newbies, we easily get blindsided by their exciting offers. Thanks to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, Just few days ago I was finally able to get a sound night sleep after a very challenging past few months. So I got invested with a trading agent that supposedly facilitates trading for her clients but in reality everything was just on paper and it was revealed to me her malicious practices and trades manipulation in order to line up her pockets with funds belonging to others. I felt trapped because I have paid some huge fees to clear up my withdrawal before I got to realize their game plan. Honestly, it’s a miracle I lived through that period.. this things were very new to me so I didn’t know who to ask for help, even the authorities did so very little to help me apprehend the culprits. Luckily a friend of mine recommend I appeal my case with JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE and hopefully, they will be able to use their team to trace the culprits and retrieve back my stolen funds. Well guess what ?.. this is the best decision i ever made in my life trust me! .. within a few days after I reached out to this team, they got to recover back my funds from the scammers account and also shut down their website. You can contact the team for help on Email : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM or on Telegram, username @ JETHACKSS. come back here tomorrow to share your testimony and help spread the word, let’s join hands together to fight this global pandemic
