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 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´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.
