The gospels say that Salome demanded the head of John the Baptist during a feast held by King Herod Antipas in Galilee for the chief men of Galilee. This happened towards the beginning of the mission of Jesus, and could not have been later than about 29 CE. The gospels are silent on Salome's subsequent feelings about this.
The Jewish historian, Josephus antiquities of the Jews, published in 93 CE) tells us that John the Baptist was imprisoned and then executed in the castle of Macherus for publicly condemning his marriage to his own brother's former wife in 35 CE. The execution must have taken place in 36 CE, since many Jews thought his defeat by the Nabataeans in 37 CE was divine retribution for the killing of John. Macherus is to the east of the Dead Sea and too far from Galilee for a messenger to arrive from Galilee and return with John's head during the course of a feast.
It appears probable that the gospel story of the execution of John the Baptist was a literary creation, so we can only look for Salome's response within the gospels, not in actual history.
