Chuckles — A ‘Joey from TV series Friends’ Moment

Instead of the usual plucking, a friend decided to try threading to shape her eyebrows. (Threading is a technique where a thread is wound around the eyebrow hair, and, with a quick pull that is supposedly painless, is quickly removed. Women from India have been doing this for hundreds of years.)

However, my friend found the process unbearably painful, and had to take a cigarette break in between to recover, i.e. only one eyebrow has been threaded.

In the pavement outside the beauty parlor, as she huffed on her cigarette, my friend toyed with the idea of not finishing the painful procedure. Then, she suddenly grinned as she realized that she’s actually experiencing a ‘Friends’ moment, particularly in that episode when Joey decided to shape his eyebrows by having them waxed in a parlor (waxing is another method when warm wax is spread over the eyebrow area, and after having cooled, is pulled off together with the offending hairs).

Unlike Joey (who decided to bolt with only eyebrow done), my friend took one last puff on her cigarette and bravely entered the dens of the beauty parlor to be tortured once more.

Note: Although I’ve never experienced threading, I believe the process may not be as painful as suggested here, but I think it’s essential to go to a properly trained beautician who is more adept at the technique.
