Get Up And Glow!
by Colne Life magazine
Glow by Rebecca & Co. From attic beginnings to a four-floor beauty team.
Rebecca Taylor-Shaw, a lifelong Colner, says, “I never really knew what I wanted to do when I was younger, but my mum and nanna encouraged me to take a nail course, and I really enjoyed it.” She has come a long way since those early days, leading clients up two flights of stairs to her bedroom nail bar, and offering mobile treatments, chauffeured by her dad. “My family and friends have always been there to support me; I am so lucky to have them.”
As her business began to grow, Rebecca opened her first salon in Shackleton Hall. Fast forward five years, and on January 22nd, 2025, she moved into her beautiful new home. A stunning four-floor premises at 99 Albert Road in Colne—all professionally decorated by her ever-handy dad.
Many of our regular customers enjoy the company just as much
as the treatments.
The salon feels very welcoming. “We’re all down-to-earth here,” Rebecca says. “No airs and graces, many of our regular customers enjoy the company just as much as the treatments.”
The salon is home to eight beauticians, a fully qualified hairdresser, plus a registered aesthetics nurse, allowing it to provide an extensive range of treatments for its clients, all under one roof. Rebecca explains how “each beautician has their own unique expertise”, and together they bring with them over 100 years of combined experience.
Rebecca and her team were thrilled to win the 2025 Pendle Business Retailer Award, which was presented at a special event held on July 3rd, 2025, at the Fence Gate. This award is a testament to the salon’s hard work, dedication, and success.
Rebecca and her team consider their clients to be like family. And to celebrate the salon’s grand opening and express their gratitude, on June 7th, 2025, Rebecca and her team invited both existing and new clients to attend a celebratory launch party.
The salon has a dazzling range of treatments on offer, including nails, lashes, brows, facials (including laser carbon facials), waxing (including intimate), massage, reflexology, aesthetics, microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, semi-permanent makeup, and hairdressing. Additionally, they feature a new service in bonded permanent jewellery, where custom-fitted pieces are seamlessly welded together for a unique, permanent accessory designed for each client.
Rebecca says, “We take pride in offering treatments and products that are not only effective but also unique and tailored to each individual’s needs.” Gift vouchers, beauty products, and personalised beauty gifts are also available for purchase. As well as beauty workshops and parties.
But Rebecca’s salon isn’t just a pampering place; it’s a hub for professional growth. The salon offers a full range of training courses, all accredited and insured by The Beauty Guild. This hands-on learning environment allows aspiring beauty professionals to develop their skills and find inspiration.
So, whether you need a little lift or you are looking for a complete transformation, if you’re ready to feel the glow of Rebecca’s salon, book your appointment today.
