Conversations with Pamyla St James

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pamyla St James.

Hi Pamyla, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started an aftercare at the W hotel in Westwood in 2001. The concept was to target cosmetic surgery patients in the celebrity and entertainment arena. I was lucky enough through aggressive marketing of getting on Access Hollywood. They filmed an 11 minute shoot at the W and from that point I was asked to be on The Swan, both seasons and Dr 90210, Fabulous Life, etc
I have had the prof working with the most renown surgeons in the world.
Prive’ the retreat became a household word in Beverly Hills. I went on to open in Newport Beach. My business was featured in New Beauty magazine , Recover in Style.
I designed the aftercare based on giving the patients high end in every aspect for a fair price.. I have always treated everyone the same and offered the same service to everyone , never based on whether you are a celebrity or single housewife and mother.
Three years ago I gifted Prive’ to my loyal assistant who came to the US with nothing. I taught her everything she knows about the business and continue to market the business for her. I am launching my own brand. The Pamyla St James experience in 1/2026. Private nursing for plastic surgery patients offered by nothing other than me, the aftercare extraordinaire

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It was a smooth road as my mentor, Jack Roth, a successful advertising agency in Century City taught me how to target a unique marketing plan that involved getting on TV.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a creative woman who started a business to inspire and empower people to look and feel their best to build confidence.
What separated me from other aftercare’s was the fact that the W hotel was willing to market me at the height of med spas and realty TV. They were tremendous in hyping my business. I also was doing business at Shelly Sterling’s hotel, The Beverly Hills Plaza Hotel and she gave me a big start S she believed in my business plan.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I think meeting as many creative, entrepreneurs as possible and picking up ideas of successful business owners is the key.
