Team GIBS welcomes Steve Vilot to the family!
“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!!!

My wife and I already have a career but before our baby was born, having an extra income for our growing family won’t be bad, that’s what my wife and I had thought. We both decided to invest in cryptocurrency mining and forex trading. I invested part of my savings and my wife did the same. Unfortunately, it was an organized fraudulent website, and my wife and I are now on the verge of losing 500,000.00 Canadian Dollars of our savings. It took us by surprise because a family friend suggested that platform we had invested in when we were conversing on Instagram. After many queries, we found out that our friend’s IG account was hacked from Senegal and all the money I thought we had been investing was being sent to a scammer in Africa. I found out about all of these with the help of a legit and reliable Wizard Retrive Agency on the internet. Wizard Retrive Agency can help you track and recoup lost funds from scammers so long as you provide them with valid proof you did lose your funds to scammers. We didn’t hire them to recover our lost funds at first, we only hired them for a background check about the investment company because they had asked us for the last payment of 100,000 Canadian Dollars for us to get a withdrawal permit for our investment with them and we just wanted to be sure before sending it to them. We were really lucky to have contacted Wizard Retrive Agency because we would have lost more money. Everything was a success at the end of it because we were able to get back all the money we had invested, recovered, and refunded. This testimony might just be another article to you on the internet but to me and my wife, it was the most challenging moment of our life and I am glad that my pregnant wife didn’t lose our baby because we were both emotionally deteriorated at that moment. My family will live to forever testify to the greatness of Wizard Retrive Agency, Are you a victim of a Bitcoin scam? and you wish to recover back your lost funds?
