You must have gone to the Taksim or Laleli area. I went to ultra conservative neighborhood of Fatih. Maybe that's why.

They are not allowed to touch you. Like in El Maroc.

I never heard such a restrict. It doesnt make make much sense since there are also many natural blondes in turkey especially among balkan immigrated from balkans...
But,of course there are always some stupid preacher that can talk nonsense. SO I cannot say that there is no islamic sect that has such a restriction.

I happen to be in the men's barber shop with my husband and I needed badly a hair cut. He told me to go and find a women's hairdresser. Now you know. I am still puzzled by this.

It has nothing to do with islam.

I've had my hair cut and set several times in Turkey and everyone seems to be really interested in it for some reason - I mean if I would actually dye my hair do you think I would chose this colour - in Turkey? Yes I'm a foreigner, here, bring me some attention! I've had great hairdresser experiences there
But I'd never go to a male hairdresser. Maybe I'm from a conservative country (not!) but we still haven't learnt that.

I'm sure you'll get some very englightened answers here in TLC.
