While at UCLA, she began modeling and working in commercials for the school store. She made her earliest screen appearances in the early 1980s with small roles in episodes of CHiPs, 240-Robert and Eight Is Enough.

In 1982, Locklear began a long term association with television producer Aaron Spelling. First, she was cast in a recurring role as Sammy Jo Dean on Spelling's Dynasty. The following year, while still appearing on Dynasty, Locklear took on a starring role as Officer Stacy Sheridan on the police drama T.J. Hooker. She would shuffle between both series until 1986, when T.J. Hooker was cancelled; after that, Locklear became a full-time member of the cast of Dynasty and would stay with the series until its conclusion in 1989.
At a fan convention in Florida in 2024, Locklear described how the process of moving her from series to series worked:
{{cquote|I'd be in my police uniform, padded bra, all that s***, and then I'd have to be all glammed up, and they’d drive me to the Dynasty set, and so it kind of went back and forth...I just had two jobs![https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/19488/heather-locklear-dynasty-t-j-hooker-joan-collins-william-shatner-tom-cruise-tommy-lee/ Heather Locklear Talks ‘Dynasty,’ ‘T.J.

In 1993, Heather Locklear began playing another of her best-known roles, Amanda Woodward, on Aaron Spelling's drama series Melrose Place created by Darren Star.

Alex Jung, Aug. 14, 2024] Years earlier, he talked to The Hollywood Reporter: "[I] meet with Heather and at the time, Amanda was a fairly innocuous part with a four-episode arc. Once we started writing for her and saw how she was able to take an innocuous line and give it devious subtext, that inspired so much in terms of where the show could go".[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/melrose-place-oral-history-marcia-cross-heather-locklear-grant-show-darren-star-look-back-1016500/ ‘Melrose Place’ at 25: Scrapped Storylines, Partying With World Leaders and How a Wig Reveal Saved the Show, The Hollywood Reporter, by Carig Tomashoff, June 30, 2017] Locklear remembered: "I just said, 'I wanna be a businesswoman.
