✨ 5-Star Beauty & Tanning Salon | Old Harlow
Where you can switch off, relax & feel better after every visit
Waxing specialists, skin, massage, nails & tanning
Trusted in Harlow for over 15 years
⭐️ 1,120+ five-star Google reviews We're open seven days a week and until 9pm every weeknight so there is always time for you to visit us, no matter how busy your life is or what time you get home from work. From the day we first opened, it was our passion for our salon to be somewhere where every time you visit, you feel special. You can go to any salon for a beauty treatment or a sun bed, but when you walk through our doors, you'll notice the happy and welcoming environment we all work in. We are a team of twenty women from Harlow and the surrounding areas and we all love our jobs. We receive comments on a daily basis about how positive our team and working environment is and how this shines out to our clients, whether they're a new or regular client. We guarantee you'll receive a five-star experience every time you visit us. Not only will you receive outstanding service, you'll be cared for throughout your visit and you'll leave us with a plan of how to get the results you need. We carry out regular training in our salon to make sure you have the best possible experience every time you visit us. We first opened our doors in December 2010 on Station Road in Old Harlow, and in June 2018, expanded the Beauty side of the business into its own beautiful new location just a 2-minute walk away onto the High Street in Old Harlow. In January 2022 we moved our sun beds over to our beauty salon, so our beauty treatments and sun beds are all under one roof and with much better parking. We proudly have over 900 five-star reviews on Google for Shwe Tan and Shwe Beauty, praising the quality of our services, how friendly and professional our team is, and how clean our salon is. We've been awarded the GOLD Client Experience Award for our continuous high standard of service for five years running and we've been finalists for 'Best Customer Service in the National Entrepreneurs Awards in 2019 and 2020. We are all so proud of these incredible achievements and it's all thanks to the amazing reviews our clients have given us. We promote safer tanning and offer exclusively in Harlow the Sun Angel sun bed as well as Ergoline stand up and lay down aun beds. Ergoline is the worldwide market leader in professional sun beds. The Sun Angel gives a 20-minute tanning session that is personalised to each client’s skin type, therefore reducing any risk of burning and giving a deeper, darker, longer-lasting tan. We also provide UV-Free tanning by Norvell, carried out in our Spray Tan Booth in our private treatment room by our highly experienced Spray Tan therapists. This is a great option for those of you who want a beautiful, instant and natural-looking tan. Our treatment list for women and men includes:
Waxing, Spray Tans, Gelish Nails, Threading, Tinting, LVL Lashes, Eyelash Extensions, Manicures & Pedicures. We hope you enjoy your time at our salon, and we look forward to meeting you soon!

Today we went to a lotions training day
at Ergoline.

With over 15 years in the industry, we live and breathe tanning, but it’s always great to keep learning and recapping on the benefits of tanning lotions so we can share our knowledge with you 🙌

We’ve chosen some exciting new lotions to stock in the salon, and we’ve picked out some new ones for when they launch in 2027, which we’re really excited about🤩

We were spoilt with a pizza van arriving for lunch and cupcakes in the afternoon 🍕🧁

Here are some of the lotions we’ve ordered.

They’ll be here on Thursday, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve learnt with you ☀️

Waxing isn’t always about who sees your smooth skin.

Sometimes it’s just about how you feel afterwards…

…and for weeks after that 🙌

You might be digging out those jumpers but that’s no reason to let the waxing slip.

Feel hair free every morning when you get dressed.

That feeling is for you 🥰 - not for anyone else.

Watch Becca talk you through an underarm wax so you know exactly what to expect when you come in.

Don’t you just love that feeling after a spray tan?

You look slimmer, feel more confident, and you can’t stop checking your tan line 😍

You can’t see it properly and you can’t reach it.

So no matter how flexible you are you can’t give the skin on your back the attention it needs.

This is our Back Skin Treatment. It’s a facial, for your back.

We body brush, deep cleanse and steam to soften everything, then exfoliate and carry out extractions where they’re needed. A masque goes on to suit your skin, and we finish with a moisturiser.

30 minutes, £50, for men and women.

Our team of Dermalogica skin experts .uk will help you with the blackheads, breakouts and congestion you can’t reach.

Comment ‘BACK’ and we’ll send you the details, or book on The Shwe App.

T: 01279 442844.

Today we’re celebrating 7 years of Sian at Shwe 🎉

Sian has been a beauty therapist for 16 years, and for the last 7 of them she’s been a big part of our team 🥰

She especially loves waxing and lashes, and she also does nails and spray tans.

Since joining us Sian has become so busy with classic, hybrid and Russian lashes.

She’s recently trained in Gelish Builder Gel too, which is launching here at Shwe very soon so keep an eye out 👀

If you haven’t met Sian yet, she works Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with late evenings until 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Happy 7 years Sian. I’m so grateful for everything you do for us x

Please join me in wishing her a happy anniversary in the comments 👇
