“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 unfortunate to invest with a fraudulent platform I connected with on Telegram. The elaborate scam hooked me for about 4 months before I got to realize that it was a fake business thanks to an awareness product I read on Quora, which urged me to take out my money but then it was already too late as they denied all withdrawal attempts while demanding I settle some fees first. The fake website: enkuuex .com run until 10 march 2024 before it shutdown, this encouraged me to take action against the cybercriminals and pursue a Recovery case through J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E. I thought, If their website could shut down it is likely that the stolen money could be retracted back. When I reached out to their customer support by email ( J e t h a c k s 7 @ g m a i l . com ) asking for a review I received a reply within minutes which speaks volumes about their professional level. I also presented a description of my investment with the fraud platform, the receipt for all payment to their wallet address that I had originally thought was being invested along with a copy of the contract agreement to the team before launching the recovery process. Due to past experience, I couldn’t help but worry about the outcome of the process and although I hoped for the best, but I was prepared for the worst. However, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome than this one, my funds was successfully recovered back from the fraudulent platform just within 72 hours of professional work from the team at J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E which has saved my life and any further embarrassments that this has caused me.

My name is Brett Newman and I’ve been a victim of the Chinese Pig Butchering Scam recently. I have been scammed $410,000 during this Chinese fraud. I lost all my life savings. Just now, I read a news article regarding the Pig Butchering Scam in Delaware. In 2022, The Delaware DOJ initiated a halt to the Pig Butchering Crypto Scams and issued a cease and desist order to wallets, accounts, and individuals involved in pig butchering scams and I just wish the culprits behind mine also would meet the same fate. I will briefly write about the process in which I was swindled by a foreign investment company. Since I was scammed, my life was ruined. I watched the fake website all the time, hoping someday it could be shut down by the authorities and FBI which I reported to but months went by and nothing happened, I even sent a report to the Singapore police several times as the scammer mentioned they were based there but nothing serious ever came out of their investigation till I got acquainted with J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E through an article about a previous scam victim who recovered back her funds with their help. Fortunately, I kept all the evidence, including the woman’s voice, her fake photos and her fake telephone number. I also keep the communication between her and me online chat (a Japanese WeChat) which I shared with the team. I knew it would take a lot of effort but thankfully the team at J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E are exceptionally good at what they do so it took them approximately 48 hours to have my funds traced down and extracted back from the scammers account into my wallet which I quickly withdrew to my bank. I hope this information is helpful to anyone in similarly situation right now , you can use the following contact info to locate J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E ,

Embarking on a recovery journey can feel daunting, especially when burdened by debt and financial struggles. However, for many individuals like myself, it’s a journey of Hope, resilience, and ultimately, triumph. Having lost a huge amount of investment to a stock exchange company kind of made it hard for me to trust any other online dealings whatsoever but when my debts started closing in, I knew I had to recover my investments or risk losing my house and every other asset in my name so I made some research online for any helpful informations, on this pursuit I learnt about Recovery Companies but choosing the right one to go with was very hard but i decided to trust my instincts and reach out to J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E, I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t found this team, I took note of their contact informations ( J e t h a c k s 7 @ Gmail . com / Telegram ID : J e t h a c k s s ) and what a bless day that was, as soon I contacted the team, all my debtor’s stopped harassing me, I was able to get them off my back after clearing out all my outstanding debts with my recovered funds, and made easy payment plans with some of them. Few months ago I had lost my tire business and nobody financed me..today thanks to J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E, I finance three trucks already, my company is doing good, I’m working with UPS, and I have recommended them to a friend of mine as well and will continue to recommend them to anyone in the near future. Very professional and easy to work with, thank you Team, a thousand times thank you
