Any beauty professional who’s ever tried to learn on a bustling show floor knows the challenge of the noise, the crowds, and the distractions. There are stylists networking, booths debuting new exciting tools and techniques, and the hum of conversations with friends new and old. So much so that focusing on an educator’s voice—or even seeing a demo clearly—can feel nearly impossible.
That’s exactly the problem Sam Villa set out to solve with the launch of LearnZone™, a bold and groundbreaking educational experience designed to cut through the chaos and elevate learning through sound, focus, and intention. Debuting at Premiere Orlando, LearnZone™ is rooted in science and powered by empathy to redefine how professional beauty education is delivered in high-stimulation environments giving stylists a space where they can focus, absorb, and retain—no matter how noisy the show floor is.
“I’ve always wanted to quiet the chaos of the show floor and create a space where learning feels personal, like a one-on-one moment with the educator,” says Villa. “At Premiere Orlando, we proved it works. 100%.”
What Is LearnZone™?
LearnZone™ is more than a learning setup—it’s a movement built on empathy and cognitive load theory. It introduces multisensory learning in high-stimulation environments, helping stylists fully engage, absorb, and retain what they’re being taught. By stripping away overstimulation, it enhances comprehension, increases memory, and supports all learning styles.
Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa, was one of the educators who experienced the shift firsthand:
“The calm, the connection, the comprehension—it was unlike anything I’ve
experienced,” shares Teresa Romero. “As an educator, I didn’t need to raise my voice. I made more eye contact. There was true engagement on an individual level!”
From haircutting demos to business classes, attendees receive studio-quality noise-cancelling headphones, a comfortable bench, and an up-close visual experience to immerse themselves in the moment. This results in undivided attention, clear instruction, and real connection.
