Liceo de Davao’s Technical–Vocational–Livelihood (TVL) Track is grounded in the Department of Education’s mission to equip learners with industry-aligned skills for immediate employment, entrepreneurship, or further studies. In our Beauty & Nail Care NC II specialization, we elevate that mission by integrating hands-on training, values formation, and community engagement—ensuring graduates are both technically proficient and service-oriented. Here, students learn not only the art and science of nail care but also how to build client trust, manage salon operations, and uphold ethical standards that reflect Liceo’s commitment to excellence and compassion.
