SUSAN SALAS
Founder of Desert Beauty Lab
“My vision for Desert Beauty Lab embodies a vigorous culture of wellness that continually starts with self-care, love, and family. This represents my journey, my dream, and now my salon,” says Salas.
​
Each product in the salon was handpicked by Salas with quality and purity in mind.
​
Hailing from 16 years at Wynn Resorts Salon and Spa, Salas brings a high pedigree and incredible story to the new space. On the day she was due to sign a lease for the new space in early 2021, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout chemotherapy and radiation, Salas continued to work on her dream salon, with a renewed focus on the products used in each service. Just two weeks after a double mastectomy, Salas and her team opened Desert Beauty Lab.

“For as long as I can recall I’ve dreamed of opening my own salon. I was deterred from my life dreams because of others’ opinions of why it would never work out; as time went on, I also had three beautiful kids and life just became too busy,” says Salas. “Despite everything, I am still wholeheartedly grateful for the journey that brought me here and I am blessed to have a wonderful and amazing support system in my life. I know that the turning point in life lead me to this new business venture that needed me as much as I needed it, and that my lifelong dream turned into my purpose in life.”
