Salas won her first women's pro event in Olympia, Washington November 2010 in only her second pro final.[1] In 2010–11, she reached the semi-finals or better in nine of the ten pro tournaments, including a semi-final finish at the 2010 US Open, which all led to her career high rank of No. 3 at season's end.[2]
In 2011–12, Salas only played the first two events, and then suffered a right shoulder injury that caused her to miss the rest of the season, but she returned to the tour in 2012–13, and equaled her career best by finishing 3rd at the end of the 2012–13 season.
Salas won her second LPRT title in June 2017 in Guadalajara, Mexico, where she came back from two games down to defeat Paola Longoria in the semi-finals, and then beat Rhonda Rajsich in the final. Salas then had shoulder surgery again, and was out of action until 2018.
But shortly after her return to the LPRT, Salas won her third career title at the 2018 Battle at the Alamo in San Antonio in April. Salas played Longoria in that final, and as in Guadalajara, found herself down 0–2, but she came back to win, 5–11, 5–11, 11–9, 11–9, 11–4.[3]
International career
Playing for Mexico, Salas has been a gold medalist 11 times, including three World Championships in doubles with Paola Longoria.

At the 2017 Pan American Championships, Salas won Women's Doubles with Longoria, as they defeated Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz of Ecuador, 15–12, 15–5, in the final, and she was a bronze medalist in Women's Singles, losing to American Rhonda Rajsich in the semi-finals.
