If you are in Boro Park then wigs by you is great. I am guessing she is popular too because in the past year since I took the course, she has gone up in price by about $50!

I agree! She is fantastic. Try to find out if/when she'll be in your area.

I contacted Wigs By You to see when they'll have a class in Brooklyn next, was told nothing scheduled yet. Does anyone know of anyone else in Brooklyn who give classes regularly, during the day? I have to learn how to wash and set my sheitel before the end of the summer -- I'm moving to a place with no sheitel stylists.

I wanted to do a course so I could set my own wigs. I mentioned it to the lady who did mine and she said that the quality of my wigs was so good that they would be fine if I did them myself and let them airdry. I tried it out and have never looked back. I wash and condition the wig, let it dry and when it is just slightly damp I set it on the head with velcro rollers. I watched a few videos on Youtube and after a bit of trial and error have got it down pat. I then give a lite spray of mist and thats it. I remove the rollers about two hours before I want to wear the wig, to give the waves a chance to settle down. My wigs look amazing, natural and I am always getting compliments for them. So thats another possibility for you to consider. I would imagine it works best with fairly straight forward styles. Mine are shoulder length with wispy side bangs and layers framing the face. I do this once every six weeks or so with a good quality shampoo. I have saved heaps over the last few years, I just feel bad for my sheitle lady who advised me to do it and lost a customer. I still go to her for simchas etc though.
