Dorothy Davis
Oh Dorothy, what can I say? Dorothy Davis is one of my favorite people in Jackson. I met her shortly after I returned to Mississippi, and she was one of those people I talked to when we were planning the Jackson Free Press. While Dorothy is doing her magic on your fingers, she talks to you like she’s known you all your life, dispensing advice and her brand of wisdom. She cares about her world, and she loves people. Holed up in her delightful little pampering room, we exchange book ideas, and I’m trying to convince her to write down all those great stories she tells me. Her clients are dedicated, following her wherever she goes. (She developed her fabulous spa manicure/pedicures while she was at Barnette’s.) While she works her special pedicure, she makes you hush and lie back in her massage chair and breathe for a while. It’s a great way to pause in a hectic world. I’m thrilled that JFP readers are discovering Dorothy Davis’ little haven on Old Canton Road. Go on over and surrender.
