At age 16 she was asked to join the cast of the telenovela El precio de la fama by producer Ernesto Alonso.
In 1992 Salas starred alongside Bibi Gaytán, Paulina Rubio and Eduardo Capetillo in the popular telenovela Baila Conmigo.
The title track (written by Lolita De La Colina) became a huge hit in Mexico and in parts of Latin America.
Of note were the songs "Corazón", which saw Salas dabble in house music, and "Nube", which was inspired by Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain's untimely death.
This album also featured many collaborations with Salas's partner Pablo Valero (former member of Santa Sabina), with whom she had her youngest daughter, Camila.
She left Televisa briefly and participated in several telenovelas for competing network TV Azteca such as El candidato and Agua y aceite.
