I think if your cat has been washed, its because his normal scent has been washed away. Their little noses are very important to them; more important than what they see! She will recognize him soon. ;)

I agree with Leila, I am sure it's the unfamiliar smell. They will often have the same issue when one has been at the vet and picked up a new smell. Try rubbing her with a towel to get her smell on it and then rub him with the same towel.

I tend to doubt that it's because she doesn't like his new hair-do. It's almost certain to be that he smells of something unfamiliar to her, and not only that, but of other cats and dogs! My cats do that to each other when one comes back from a trip to the vet or from a cat show, but generally get used to the new odor fairly quickly and the hissing stops.
