I'm not sure it's the shaving, exactly... and if so it might be because your male feels he's inferior because he's (naked) shaved/without that extra buff. Some cats change after nuetering.

Are they bathed while at the groomers?

If so they both have a brand new scent and are not recognizing each other. Plus grooming is stressful and the boy probably also has some pent up energy he is needing to discharge in the way of redirected aggression.

If they are indeed bathed then try having it done one time without a bath. Most of the kitties in our shop are not bathed when they are clipped- both shaving and a bath is just too much stress.
