Welcome to Ginkgo & Maple

 Thoughtful hair styling
and clear-eyed perspective when clarity matters. 

I work in two distinct but related ways. One is physical, precise, and grounded in craft. 

The other is intellectual, discerning, and grounded in judgment. Both are about helping people see themselves — and their options — more clearly.

Organic, attentive hair work rooted in long experience. Cuts and styling are designed to work with your hair, your life, and your maintenance reality — not against it. 

This is unhurried, detail-oriented work for people who value quality over trend.

One question. One answer.

Clarity Compass is for capable, thoughtful people who are stuck — not because they lack intelligence, but because they are too close to the situation to see it clearly. The response you receive reflects my judgment and opinion. It is not coaching, therapy, medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not a place for emotional processing or reassurance.

My role is to find and address the pressure points you may be avoiding — the ones that actually determine the outcome.

This work is grounded in long-term, real-world experience where judgment and consequences matter.
