What is the recommended position for a client file that is currently in use?

The recommended position for a client file that is currently in use being face down ensures not only the privacy and confidentiality of the information contained within the file but also prevents any accidental viewing by unauthorized individuals. This practice aligns with the importance of maintaining client confidentiality as outlined in both ethical guidelines and legal requirements within esthetic practices.

Additionally, placing the file face down helps to keep the workspace organized and minimizes distractions, allowing the esthetician to focus more effectively on the treatment and the client’s needs. Doing so also reduces the risk of misplacing or losing sensitive information. Maintaining an organized space contributes to overall professionalism and enhances the client experience.
