They are actually very hairy, however they shave twice daily so no one ever sees it.

A dolphin is a cetation, like any other whale. Fetal whales resemble pigs, they have fingers and the beginnings of hips, and a body covered in hair. This hair becomes absorbed and there is minimal if any seen on the outside of the body, there are hairs around the blowhole much like people have nose hairs.

There can be stray hairs on juvenile cetations, but they are spasre at best and are rapidly lost.

Of the websites I visited, one said dolphins have a small amount of hair near the blowhole, two said that baby dolphins have "mustaches" which fall out as they get older, and a fourth said that dolphins have a small amount of hair. All the sites agreed that dolphins have hair at least part of their lives.

As mammals, dolphins (and whales) have hair follicles, but do not necessarily have visible hair.
One dolphin I used to work with had some sparse vestigial hairs on his chin when he was young, but they disappeared when he grew up.
