The Salon at King Street is a training salon and is part of City of Wolverhampton College. The purpose built salon, which was officially opened in April 2006 by Errol Douglas, whose clients include Naomi Campbell and Cat Deeley, accommodates over 200 Apprentices each week. With an excellent range of state of the art equipment and 25 stations, it is the largest Apprenticeship training salon in the country.
