There are several reasons why hamsters lick people. They even lick them to express affection.
My hamster likes to get massages. I took my finger to a hamster who felt good after getting a massage and she licked my finger. Its meaning was "Thank you! I like you".
Hamsters usually comb their fur with their front teeth. My fingers are not hairy, but the hamster carefully scrapes my hand with its front teeth. (It doesn't hurt at all.)
It was a very grateful action, so I stayed still until the hamster stopped.
