The Underarm and Hollywood Sugar Wax Combo at Luxor Spa Abuja is a single-session hair removal treatment that addresses two of the most requested body areas — the underarms and the full pubic region (Hollywood) — using sugaring paste rather than traditional hot wax. In one appointment at either the Maitama or Wuse 2 branch of Luxor Salon and Spa, you leave with both areas completely smooth, with results that typically last longer than shaving and with significantly less irritation than conventional strip waxing.
What Is the Underarm and Hollywood Sugar Wax Combo?
This combo packages two separate sugaring treatments into one convenient booking. The underarm treatment removes hair from both armpits, while the Hollywood treatment removes all hair from the entire pubic area — front, back, and in between. Combining them in one visit saves time, reduces repeat appointments, and means your skin is on a consistent hair-removal cycle for both zones simultaneously.
At Luxor Salon and Spa, the combo is performed by trained therapists in a private, hygienic treatment room. The 24/7 operating hours at both branches mean you are not restricted to conventional salon windows — early morning, late evening, or midday all work.
What Is Sugar Waxing and How Is It Different?
Sugar waxing — also called sugaring — uses a paste made primarily from sugar, lemon juice, and water. Unlike traditional resin-based wax, the paste is applied at body temperature or slightly warm, so there is virtually no risk of burning sensitive skin in the underarm or bikini area.
The paste is worked against the direction of hair growth and then flicked off in the direction of growth. This technique pulls the hair out from the root while reducing breakage. Because the paste binds only to the hair and dead skin cells rather than live skin, it is gentler and less likely to cause the red, raw patches that standard waxing can leave behind.
Why It Suits Sensitive Zones
Both the underarms and the Hollywood area contain thin, reactive skin. The underarm skin is constantly in motion and is regularly exposed to deodorants and friction from clothing. The pubic area is similarly sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs and folliculitis. Sugaring reduces trauma to both zones because the paste does not grip live skin, and the removal direction works with the natural angle of the follicle.
How the Treatment Works at Luxor Spa Abuja
Before the Session Begins
Your therapist will confirm that the hair in both areas is long enough for the paste to grip — generally around a quarter of an inch, roughly two to three weeks of growth after shaving. If you have been using depilatory creams, you will need a slightly longer gap before your first sugaring session. If you have any active skin breakouts, open cuts, sunburn, or a known allergy to any ingredient in the paste, let your therapist know before proceeding. For persistent skin conditions or unusual reactions, a dermatologist should be consulted before any waxing treatment.
The Sugaring Process
The therapist begins with the underarms. The area is cleansed and lightly dusted with a pre-treatment powder to absorb moisture and ensure the paste adheres well. The sugaring paste is then moulded onto the skin, pressed firmly, and removed in a quick flick. Each section is worked methodically until all visible hair is removed. Any stray hairs are tweezed. A soothing post-treatment product is applied to calm the follicles.
The same process is repeated for the Hollywood area. The therapist will guide you through the positioning required so each section of the area is accessible and treated thoroughly. The room is private, and therapists at Luxor Salon and Spa are trained to make the experience as comfortable and professional as possible.
After the Session
Immediately after the treatment, some redness and minor sensitivity in both areas is completely normal and usually settles within a few hours. Your therapist will advise you on the following:
- Avoid tight clothing around the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Skip deodorant on the underarms for the rest of the day if possible, or switch to a gentle, alcohol-free formula.
- Avoid swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas, and intense heat for 24 to 48 hours after the session.
- Do not exfoliate the treated skin for at least 48 hours after the appointment.
- Keep the skin clean and moisturised with a fragrance-free lotion once the initial sensitivity passes.
- Begin gentle exfoliation two to three times a week from around the fifth day onward to prevent ingrown hairs.
How Often Should You Repeat the Combo?
Sugaring is most effective when treatments are kept on a regular cycle. For most clients, returning every three to five weeks keeps both areas consistently smooth. Over time, with repeated sugaring, the hair follicle weakens and regrowth becomes finer and sparser, meaning sessions may become more spaced out naturally.
Skipping sessions and reverting to shaving between appointments resets this process, so consistency is key to seeing the long-term benefits of sugaring.
Abuja Seasons and Your Sugaring Schedule
Abuja’s climate plays a practical role in how you manage your aftercare. During the harmattan season, the dry, dusty air can leave skin dehydrated, which may increase sensitivity after a session. Moisturising more diligently in the days following your appointment is especially important during this period.
During the rainy season, humidity can cause sweating around the underarm area, so keeping the skin clean post-treatment matters more. Breathable cotton clothing is a good choice in the 24 hours following your session regardless of the season.
If you have an upcoming event — an Abuja wedding, a formal dinner, or a beach trip — plan your combo session at least three days before the event. This gives any minor post-treatment redness time to fully settle, leaving skin smooth and calm for your occasion. You can book online in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
Who Is This Combo Best Suited For?
The Underarm and Hollywood Sugar Wax Combo at Luxor Spa Abuja suits anyone looking for a time-efficient, low-irritation approach to full hair removal in these two specific zones. It works well for first-time waxers because the sugaring method is gentler than strip waxing, making the introduction to the process more manageable. It is equally practical for experienced waxers who want to consolidate underarm and Hollywood appointments into a single visit.
If you have a history of hyperpigmentation in the underarm area, sugaring is often recommended over traditional waxing because it causes less repeated trauma to the skin, though any persistent darkening or skin concerns should be discussed with a dermatologist before beginning treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hollywood wax remove all hair?
Yes. A Hollywood wax removes all hair from the entire pubic area — the front, the labia, and the perianal region. Nothing is left. This is distinct from a Brazilian, which typically leaves a small strip or shape at the front.
Is sugaring more painful than traditional waxing?
Most clients find sugaring less uncomfortable than traditional strip waxing. Because the paste is applied and removed in a way that works with the natural direction of hair growth at the removal stage, there is typically less pulling on the follicle and less surface-skin trauma. Discomfort also decreases with consistent repeat sessions as hair regrows finer.
Can I book this combo if I am pregnant?
Many clients continue waxing treatments during pregnancy, but skin sensitivity often increases significantly. It is advisable to consult your doctor or midwife before booking any waxing treatment during pregnancy. Inform your Luxor therapist before the session begins so they can accommodate you appropriately.
How long do I need to wait after shaving before my first sugaring session?
You need at least two to three weeks of growth after your last shave for the paste to grip the hair effectively. Attempting to sugar very short hair leads to poor results and unnecessary discomfort. If you are unsure, your therapist can assess at the start of the appointment.
Can I get the combo during my period?
You can still receive underarm sugaring during your period. For the Hollywood portion, many clients prefer to wait until after their period for comfort reasons, as sensitivity in the pubic area tends to increase at this time. If you do proceed, using a fresh tampon or menstrual cup during the Hollywood portion is standard practice. Your therapist will not turn you away.
Conclusion
The Underarm and Hollywood Sugar Wax Combo at Luxor Spa Abuja is a practical, effective, and low-irritation solution for smooth skin in two of the body’s most sensitive hair-bearing areas.

Whether you are preparing for a specific event in Abuja or simply maintaining a regular grooming routine, this combo offers genuine efficiency — two treatments, one session, smooth results.
