“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!!!

After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions. When I was done taking the herbal medicine I went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise I was cured from Herpes. My heart is so filled with joy.

If you’re reading this and wondering whether JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE is worth it, let me save you the suspense.. they are !. Without them, I would have lost not only my money, but my sanity. My story isn’t uncommon, though I wish it were. It started in a way I never expected through someone I trusted. A pen pal of mine introduced me to what he called a guaranteed crypto mining investment. He claimed to have made over $80,000 in just two months and even showed me screenshots of his withdrawals. I didn’t hesitate to trust him. After all, this was someone I’d known for years. I began with $3,000, and within weeks, my account balance soared to $15,000. I was amazed. I started to dream big, what if I could finally pay off my student loans or save for the future I’d always wanted. Encouraged by the initial success, I invested more $25,000 this time. But the problems began when I tried to withdraw my funds. First, it was a $300 transaction fee. Then they asked for a $2,500 tax pre-clearance fee. I was skeptical but felt trapped, I had too much money on the line. Over the next month, the fees never stopped. Every time I questioned it, the account manager would send me reassuring emails or hop on a video call to explain. They told me I was just steps away from my payout. In total, I paid nearly $17,000 in fees, only for them to stop responding when I couldn’t afford more fee. My account? Suspended, My money ? Gone. For weeks, I lived in a haze of regret. Then, one evening, I came across a forum where someone mentioned JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. I almost scrolled past it after all, I didn’t trust anyone anymore. But their post was so detailed, and their experience sounded so much like mine, that I decided to investigate. From the first call with their team, I felt hopeful . They walked me through their process step by step, answering my endless questions with patience and understanding. It wasn’t easy handing over all the details of my situation. I felt so exposed, reliving every bad decision I’d made. The days that followed were nerve wracking. I kept my expectations low, not wanting to get my hopes up. Then, one afternoon, I received the good news as my funds were successfully recovered back to my possession. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE gave me more than I had dared to hope therefore i will be forever indebted to their team. If you’re reading this and wish to recover back your lost digital assets quickly contact the team via any of the below infos

I never imagined I’d become one of those people who lost money to an online scam. I’ve always been cautious, maybe even too skeptical at times. But last year, that cautiousness got buried under promises of easy wealth. It began innocently enough, an ad on a popular financial blog caught my attention. It promised a revolutionary cryptocurrency investment platform. Their pitch? You didn’t need to know a thing about trading, the platform’s experts will handle everything and their experts even had LinkedIn profiles. I started with $5000, just to test the waters. Within days, my account balance jumped to $8000. I was impressed but still wary. So, I tried withdrawing a small amount $2000. To my surprise, it worked. I received the money in my bank account within 24 hours. That’s when I let my guard down. I decided to go bigger, pulling $150,000 total from my savings within the next 2 months. Almost immediately, my account balance keep on skyrocketing. They sent me emails celebrating my success and encouraged that my finance was secured However after a while when I tried to pull out $50,000 for the first time, the nightmare began. A representative contacted me, explaining there was a minor withdrawal fee of $3000. Annoying, but I paid it. Then they asked for another fee but this time for “transaction verification.” I hesitated but eventually sent another $5000, desperate to access my money. Every time I thought it was over, they came up with a new excuse; international banking clearance, tax prepayment, security certificates. Each fee came with reassurances that it was the last step. Finally, after paying nearly $20,000 in fees, I realized the truth. My account was fake. The withdrawals were never going to happen. It hit me like a freight train I had lost everything. I fell into a deep pit of despair. I tried filing reports with the authorities, but they told me these scams were nearly impossible to trace. Months passed before I came across JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. They explained that they worked through legal and technical channels to recover funds from fraudulent accounts. I took a leap of faith and provided them with all the information I had.. emails, receipts, crypto wallet addresses, and every fee I’d paid. For the first time, someone was taking me seriously. It wasn’t an overnight process. Then, one morning, I woke up to an email: “ lost funds recovery successful’’ I stared at my screen, hardly able to breathe. I’ll never forget the moment I saw that money hit my account. it felt like I’d gotten a part of my life back. I could breathe again. I learned the hard way that scammers are ruthless, and anyone can fall victim. JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE gave me hope when I thought I had none. They fought for me when no one else would, and I’ll forever be grateful. To contact them, use any of the below infos
