Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jow moved to California with her mother Lanae Tillery Jow, one sister Makenna Jow and two brothers Jensen and Braden Jow, when she was nine years old. Jow is of half-Chinese American and part-Cherokee descent. As a child, she would often sing the national anthem at local baseball games.
When she was six years old, Jow appeared on Barney and Dellaventura, but her acting career took off when she won a co-starring role in the Nickelodeon sitcom Unfabulous with Emma Roberts where she played Geena Fabiano, one of the best friends of Roberts' character Addie Singer. The show ran for three seasons from 2004 to 2007 and earned Jow several Young Artist Award nominations.
When Unfabulous ended in 2007, Jow co-starred in the animated film Bratz: The Movie as Quinn and has guest-starred on the shows Wizards of Waverly Place, The Young and the Restless, iCarly, The Secret Life of the American Teenager and the Disney show Hannah Montana and co-starred in the 2009 science fiction comedy Aliens in the Attic.
