Is it allowed for a Muslim woman to uncover her hair in
front of a woman of the People of the Book, e.g. a
maidservant?

It is not allowed for a Muslim woman to appear in front
of a disbelieving woman, whether she is of the People of
the Book or otherwise, unless she is covered the way she
would be in front of a strange man. This is because when
Allaah allows the women to uncover themselves in front of
various categories of people, He says, "... or their
women'' (Noor 24:31). Their women indicates Muslim women
only.
