In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is prohibited for females to trim their hair. (Al-Mahmood pg.173)
The actual ruling is that it is not permissible for a woman to trim her hair at all except during haj or umra.
It is not permissible for women to cut their hair. (Shaami vol.6 pg.407 H.M.Saeed)
