“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!!!

FRAUD FIGHTER HACKERS, HOW CAN I RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTO?
I had no idea about Crypto recovery services and was rather ignorant about them after falling victim to a fraudulent investment scheme. But thanks to the support and advice of the FRAUD FIGHTER HACKERS recovery team, I am now certain that any lost money may be found. I filed my lawsuit through FRAUD FIGHTER HACKERS’ website [https://fraudfighterhacker.wixsite.com/fraud-fighter-hacker] as soon as I learned about them. The team’s professionalism and honesty during the entire recovery procedure, which ended with the return of all my missing funds, truly put me at ease. I cannot express how grateful I am for that. I would not hesitate to suggest your services to other victims who may have also fallen victim to scams.

I had always been cautious with my investments, but the cryptocurrency boom seemed like a golden opportunity I couldn’t pass up. After doing what I thought was due diligence, I invested $45,000 into a highly recommended cryptocurrency trading platform. The initial returns were promising, which only encouraged me to invest more. However, things took a dark turn when, out of the blue, my account was frozen. Every attempt to have this resolved with customer support was met with an obvious moneymaking tactics ranging from tax fee, VAT, gas fee, account upgrade.. in fact, it was crystal clear the tactics was designed to wear me out of the business. Panic quickly set in as I realized what was going on . Feeling utterly defeated, I reached out to local authorities, but their response was slow and unhelpful. I even considered writing off the loss entirely, thinking I’d never see that money again. Then, a friend suggested I contact JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. Admittedly, I was skeptical—what if this was another scam? But desperation pushed me to give them a try. From the moment I made contact, their team was nothing short of professional. They were understanding and non-judgmental, offering a clear and transparent process for recovery. They explained that they would begin by tracing my funds across various blockchain networks and financial institutions, using advanced forensic tools and methods. The team provided regular updates, which kept my hope alive. After three intense days of serious work, they informed me that they had successfully tracked down the majority of my assets. To my amazement, 85% of my lost funds were recovered and returned to my wallet account. The emotional and financial relief was indescribable. What stood out most was their dedication and transparency— explaining the technical aspects in layman’s terms so I could understand the progress. They turned what seemed like an irreversible nightmare into a recovery success story and surely, they can help your situation too, the team is available to respond to you directly on Email: JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL .
