Wa Alaikumussalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. It is allowed for a woman to remove her facial hair. However, what is haram (forbidden) is an-nams, which is the removal of the hair of the eyebrows only. Even the middle brow, the hair between the two eyebrows, is allowed to remove. BarakAllahu Fiikum.
