But these girls who seem so shocked by this aren´t Turkish.

 I have been going to hairdresser in Turkey since I was born, from cheap, simple hairdressers to more expensive ones, and they are generally males and they have all washed my hair and massaged my sculp as well.

 I hardley call that an essay!!!! I could go on and on and on and on----- blah blah blah, if i wanted to!!! lol

 That is what I said "why DONT you write an essay"

 sorry i thought you were taking the mick!!!! No one would want to read that. Im sure there are more exciting things to talk about. My poor sister was also there on the otherside of that round thing and was watching the whole thing, instead of doing anyhting she just laughed!!!!

 I´m surprised to hear that. Do you usually request a wash/massage or is included when you go to have a normal cut? Never have I had it done, and I always have to ask them to dry my hair after the cut as well (which definitely should be included). My husband always gets the whole ordeal even though he doesn´t request anything besides a cut. Once I went with my dad and they pampered him too, so I figured it is a gender thing.

Other than being cheap I don´t have the best experiences with turkish hairdressers, male or female. This spring I wanted to have it dyed with a 30 day rinse out type of product, but none of the "best" hairdressers in town didn´t know what it was

From my home country I´m used to the whole package being included, and the hairdresser caring and investing some thought as to what hairdoes suit their client, whereas in Turkey, anywhere that I have been it´s more of a get-in-get-out type of experience.

I dont think the guy did anything wrong at all, and i dont think its worth telling your Bf at all, me, i always to got to the hairdressers with my friends (after school, lol), but i like ladies more cause they go easy, i feel like the guys always like pull and brush and stuff so hard! The girls are sensiytive and plus they alwasy ask me is that okay, blah , blah, blah. But one of my friends (and i think i sometimes, well depends, agree with her) like guys more becasue she says they cut better, thast kind of right, but i hate hair dressers who smoke! OMG i cant stand that!!! But when it comes to nails and stuff girls are definetly better!!! alos because of that sensitivity part, lol and the guys have big thick fingers (sometimes hairy!!!ewwwwwww!!!) okay if i dons top now ill blab on forever lol

 are you sure he was not "thehandsom"?

 I´m as well shocked about your experiences. My experiences seem like the opposite of yours. Unlike you, I have always been asked either to go to the washing directly or if my hair was clean and I would like to have it washed. 80-90% of the time it was a male, usually a young male helper. Most of the time I have been pleased with their way of treatment in Turkey, they have never left my hair wet. In netherlands, once I went to an hairdresser where the woman did not dry my hair, she told me that they took additional price for it. In my opinion, hairdressers are quite popular in Turkey and some women go there few times a week, though I wonder if the difference is because of the city, because I have never gone to any hairdresser outside Istanbul in Turkey.

How much fuss can be made about going to the hair dresser and inappropriate touching!  It all sounds a bit like a McCain and Obama argument!  What suits one does not suit another.  

I prefer a man (usually a junior so boy is a better description!) to wash my hair, they are so much better at the head massage than the fearce massage a woman (girl) gives!

haha libralady you are right. I guess we all have different experiences. Surely hairdressers are not the same everywhere
