Any idea what are the names of these cacti? The second from the left in the back row and the one on the far right in the first row are Lobivia "Fire Chief", I've been told, but I don't know what the others are.

The tall skinny thing is an opuntia, I can help you here.
Cactus are not my hobby, Nicae plants though, good pictures.

The bottom left next to the round pot I'd say a Gymnocalycium.

Does the hairy looking one in the front row have hooked spines? It looks similiar to one I have.

The tallest one looks like Micropuntia barkleyana.

Offhand I don't know if the hairy one has hooked thorns. I'll have to check.

Try Gymnocalycium mihanovichii v. Stenogonum (Plaid Cactus) for the one I mentioned.

I think the curved spines are actually just the hair starting to come into it's own on a , probably, Cephalocereus senilis.
Try a little moose or styling gel. LOL
