You found us. Whether you searched for Aesthete Beauty or for Radina Ignatova specifically, you are in the right place. This is not a chain salon with rotating staff. This is one practitioner, one standard, every appointment.
Radina Ignatova is the sole therapist at Aesthete Beauty, 76 Bell St in Dundee city centre. She carries out every treatment herself. Every manicure, every facial, every set of brows. When you book at Aesthete Beauty, you get Radina. That consistency is the whole point.
She has been working in the beauty industry since 2014. Over 11 years of nails, skin, brows, and lashes. She is a professional nail expert, featured in Who What Wear UK as an expert nail technician and in Scratch Magazine for nail art. Aesthete Beauty holds the Corporate Vision Global Business Award for Best Beauty and Nail Salon 2024 in Scotland, the LuxLife Beauty and Nails Salon of the Year 2024 for Dundee, and was a finalist at the Scottish Nails Brows Lashes Awards 2025.

Every appointment starts before you arrive. When you book, Radina sends a consultation form so she can learn about your nail or skin history, preferences, and what you want to achieve. She reviews your treatment history and any notes from previous visits. This preparation means she can choose the right products and techniques for you specifically, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
During your appointment, Radina explains each step as she goes. She does not rush. She does not cut corners. If something needs more time, she takes more time. If your nails need a different approach than what you booked, she will tell you and adjust. The goal is the best possible result, not the fastest turnaround.
Clients often say their appointments feel like more than a beauty treatment. Radina genuinely enjoys meeting people, hearing their stories, and building relationships that last years. Many of her regular clients have been coming back since she started.
Aesthete Beauty is currently the only salon in Dundee offering Russian manicure. This dry e-file technique removes dead cuticle skin precisely without water soaking, which means gel and BIAB lasts three to five weeks instead of one to two. Radina is fully trained in the technique and it has become one of the most requested services at the salon.
From short bitten nails to advanced sculpted shapes, Radina works with polygel, soft gel tips, hard gel, and BIAB systems. She specialises in correcting shape irregularities, reinforcing weak nails, and restructuring nails that grow downwards by restoring their natural curvature. Every set is tailored to the client's hands, lifestyle, and personal style.
Every design is painted by hand. From delicate fine-line detailing to intricate compositions, chrome finishes, cat-eye effects, and 3D work. Each set reflects the client's individuality. Radina's nail art has been featured in Scratch Magazine.
Threading, waxing, reshaping, tinting, hybrid dye, lash lifts, and weekend lashes. Radina shapes brows to suit individual face structure, not a generic template. She uses Hive professional wax and takes the time to get the symmetry right.
CLINICCARE professional facials, chemical peels (AHA and BHA), and micro-needling for scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, and skin texture. Medical-grade products, proper skin analysis, and results-driven treatments. A consultation or patch test is required before your first skin treatment.

Aesthete Beauty has five-star reviews on Google. Here is what clients say.
Been here multiple times now, and Radina is amazing, friendly and very professional. This is only place in Dundee that does Russian manicure and pedicure and I get it every time followed with BIAB. As any good manicure it lasts for weeks.
First time visiting and extremely impressed. An absolutely perfect manicure. No gaps or flaws at all. Also, a huge selection of colours and a very clean place. I will definitely be returning regularly.
I regularly visit Aesthete Beauty for a range of treatments and am never disappointed. Radina is highly skilled and passionate about what she does. The salon is always immaculate. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
