Shalom Harlow was born on December 5, 1973, in the small Canadian city of Oshawa, Ontario. She is the daughter of Sandi Herbert, a psychologist, and David Harlow, who held various roles throughout his career, including social worker, real estate agent, and financial advisor. Raised in a household influenced by Jewish traditions, her parents named her “Shalom,” a Hebrew word meaning “peace,” reflecting the sense of serenity they felt at her birth. As of recent years, Harlow continues to maintain a close relationship with her parents, who have been married for over four decades.
Growing up, Harlow developed a strong appreciation for music. She was an avid fan of rock and synth-pop, admiring bands such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rush, The Who, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and The Beatles. Above all, she had a particular fondness for The Cure, whose music deeply resonated with her. In addition to rock, she cultivated a love for classical music and ballet, studying dance from a young age. Her early ballet training led many, including her parents, to believe she might pursue a professional dance career. Interestingly, she once dreamed of becoming an astronaut, though modeling ultimately became her chosen path.
Shalom Harlow attended elementary and high school in her hometown of Oshawa, Canada. During her student years, she also trained in ballet, which nurtured her grace and poise—qualities that would later benefit her in modeling. Although she left high school before graduating in order to pursue modeling full-time, Harlow has remained in contact with friends from those formative years, many of whom now live in different parts of the world. At the time, none of her peers, including Harlow herself, could have predicted she would go on to achieve global recognition as a supermodel.
Harlow's entry into the modeling world was serendipitous. At the age of 17, she was discovered at a concert by the British band The Cure. Modeling scouts noticed Harlow and fellow aspiring model Amber Valletta during the event, and this chance encounter launched her career. Soon after being scouted, Harlow left school to fully commit to modeling.
She quickly rose to prominence and became one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion industry. Harlow appeared in major international fashion magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan. Her unique look and ethereal presence made her a favorite of top fashion houses such as Chanel, Dior, and Versace. She notably became the face of Chanel’s perfume “Coco” and was known for her dramatic catwalk appearances, including a memorable show with designer John Galliano. Her success has contributed to an estimated net worth of approximately $10.5 million, placing her among the top-earning models of her time.
A long-time vegetarian, Shalom Harlow leads a lifestyle grounded in wellness and compassion. She has been involved in a variety of charitable efforts, particularly those focused on supporting children’s causes. Although she prefers to keep her romantic life private, reports indicate she is in a committed relationship. However, marriage is not currently in her plans, as she has expressed concerns about the possibility of divorce. Despite this, Harlow values family and has spoken about her love for children and her ongoing charitable work.
