> まさか入院中に **散髪してもらえる** とは思ってもみなかったよ。

The character is a patient in a hospital who's having his hair cut by a nurse
who was a hairdresser.

散髪する means "to have one's hair cut". To me, it looks like the nurse is cutting
her hair herself and the patient is grateful for that.

question
giving-and-receiving
Why is 散髪してもらう correct?
Think of 散髪する and 髪を切る simply as "to cut (someone's or one's own) hair", but
this _also_ includes "indirectly" cutting one's own hair at a barber (using a
barber is just a means of cutting hair). When an ordinary person says 散髪した, it
usually means "I had a haircut (at a barber)", but it's perfectly fine to say
自分で散髪した ("I cut my hair by myself"). When a hairdresser says 彼の散髪をしました, it
would mean "I cut his hair". Thus, the sentence in question is perfectly
correct.
