“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!!!

At first, we chose JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE because he was referred to us by a reliable source who’ve engaged his services with a lot of success in the past. With so many recovery testimonies out there, it was difficult figuring out the right recovery firm that we could trust but I am so glad that we went with this firm. The recovery program which lasted for a couple of days was super handled after which my husband and I went from being debtors to having all our debts repaid and renting to buying our own home. My husband and I debt was far too high to go through with purchasing a long overdue new home, we lost a huge portion of the funds to a stock broker investment company which he connected with on Linkedln. At first it was going great which also made me join the company and with that much motivation, we both funded huge balances on our accounts respectively. We had no idea they were a fraudulent company until it was already too late. we were very devastated thinking we’ve lost almost all our life savings to scammers, the loss was too much to bear so we resolved to finding a solution. Where we first contacted the firm was on Telegram, the agent assigned to handle our case thoroughly reviewed all the details and gave us our options before the team starts the process. Unlike most other recovery firms, we weren’t asked to pay any fee whatsoever before having our case reviewed and assured us of the successful recovery of our funds. This team possesses a sweeping knowledge and overall great experience in the recovery field and knew exactly how to get the job done. There’s a saying that ‘’ you don’t pay the plumber for banging on pipes, you pay him for knowing where to bang’’, I have indeed witnessed this first hand during my time working with the team. Once the extraction process was complete, we got a deposit alert on my husband’s Blockchain wallet and we quickly liquidated everything into our bank account. Today I write this from the comfort of our newly purchased home, Special thanks to the best recovery firm in the world, I will forever be grateful and won’t hesitate to refer this company to any friend who tells me they’re facing similar situation to get help from the JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE on any of their contacts informations, Telegram username @ JETHACKSS OR Email : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL .

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. You can also contact the team using their email support; JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM or via the Telegram username above.
