Well, there are some passages when Angels of the Lord appeared to certain people, like this one:

"And the Angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son." - Judges 13:3

 

"So the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A Man of God came to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name." - Judges 13:6

 

"Then the woman ran in haste and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the Man who came to me the other day has just now appeared to me!"" - Judges 13:10

 

"So Manoah arose and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, "Are You the Man who spoke to this woman?"

And He said, "I am."" - Judges 13:11

 

"And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Though you detain Me, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord." (For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the Lord.)" - Judges 13:16

 

"When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord." - Judges 13:21

 

"it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground." - Judges 13:20

 

"And Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!"" - Judges 13:22

 

It seems the Angel of the Lord was not unpleasant in any way. And he refused any kind of worship.

Seraphim - 

Isaiah 6:1-3  In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

 

Cherubim -  Ezekiel 1:1-14

Just an observation. Holy, Holy, Holy is the only attribute of God listed in the Bible three times for emphasis.

The typical angel from heaven does not look like a human being on earth. Because of:

Exodus 25:20

Isaiah 6:2

 Matthew 28:3-4

From the experience of those who saw angels it was very obvious that they did not look like our fellow human beings.

God can transform an angel into anyone or anything He wants for His Glory. But that is rare.

Heb 13:1-3

13 Let love of the brethren continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
NASB

That is only if God chooses to transform an angel into some other physical appearance than they are. But the Bible says that we would definitely be in awe if we were next to them in their heavenly physical form that God gave them.

Personally I would be more concerned about entertaining angels unawares which can come to us in any form, than being concerned about the angels pure form being scary or beautiful.  What difference does it make?

If anyone would ever bow down to an angel they would say " Do not do that".

Yes the angels themselves would give warning not to worship them.  For they themselves are a created being of God, but they are not God, only his ministering spirits sent forth on God's behalf.
