Questions & Answers
Common questions
Before you sign up, here's what shop owners ask us most.
Can I keep my current phone number and still use the AI?
Yes. Just forward your number to StyleDesk. Takes a minute, we walk you through it after signup. Your clients keep calling the same number they always have.
Do I need to be technical to set this up?
No. If you can send a text, you can run StyleDesk. Setup is point-and-click in your browser. Type your services, pick an area code, hit save. Most shops are live within 15 minutes.
Can the AI transfer a call to me if someone really needs to talk?
Yes. Callers can press 1 anytime to reach you directly. If you don't pick up, they can leave a voicemail that appears in your dashboard, with an AI transcript on Pro and Premium plans so you can read it at a glance.
What happens during the free trial?
Basic gets 14 days. Pro and Premium get 30 days. Full access to everything. No charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime from your dashboard with one click.
Will I get hit with extra charges if my shop gets busy?
No. Every plan is flat monthly. No per-minute fees, no per-text fees, no overages. One monthly price covers everything.
Does the AI really understand what a shape-up or gel-manicure is?
Yes. StyleDesk knows 500+ shop terms out of the box: fades, tapers, skin fades, shape-ups, gel-manicures, dip powder, ombre, and hundreds more. No configuration needed.
Does the AI understand different languages?
Yes. Pro lets you pick up to 5 languages from 30 supported (Spanish, Chinese, French, and more). Premium unlocks all 30. Once enabled in your settings, the AI detects each caller's language and responds in it automatically. No prompting needed per call.
