Big Island Beauty College (BIBC) in eList Hawaii Directory

BIBC began in 1998 in Keauhou, Kona Hawaii. Antoinette (Toni) and Vincent Mott realized the need for a beauty college on the Big Island of Hawaii. Toni, who operated a successful salon in the Keauhou shopping center was often asked by other salon owners how they could get well trained operators. While the resort spa managers all said they needed estheticians. The Nail Techs spend three months in school, the Estheticians, six months, and the Cosmetology students spend fourteen months. BIBC now has thirty-two students training to earn the three different licenses, while discovering beauty in paradise. When not in school, students can enjoy the perfect weather along the Kona coast. There are many outdoor activities, including horse back riding,kayaking, and snorkeling in the crystal clear warm waters of Keauhou Bay. Kona also has plenty of Night life featuring the Hard Rock Cafe and Lu Lus Grill. BIBC has been named a Licensed Vendor for the State of Hawaii, providing vocational training on a case by case basis. We were awarded a grant in partner ship with the catholic church to provide scholarships to those who were in danger of being homeless. BIBC used the 90,000 to train nine cosmetologists and twelve Nail Technicians. Big Island Beauty College Principal, Antoinette (Toni) Mott has been in the beauty industry for more than thirty years. After graduating from La France Beauty School in Miami Beach Florida, she worked in television, stage and screen. She has owned two successful salons and was an instructor at Ultissima Beauty School and Queens Beauty Institute in New York City, and Miss Martys School of Beauty in San Francisco California.
