KT Professional.
Full-stack custom web development for India's premier salon-approved keratin haircare brand. This enterprise Shopify ecosystem houses KT Professional products, KT Life products, KT Derma, and KT Kids.
Project Overview & Client Background
Under founder Dhruv Sayani, KT Professional has become a leading name in the Indian beauty and personal care industry. What started with sulphate-free, paraben-free keratin treatments for professional salons has grown into the wider KT Life brand.
As KT Life expanded to include five distinct sub-brands — Kids Care, Hair Care (KT Professional), Skin Care (KT Derma), Athletic Care, and Men's Care (KT Men) — it needed a digital flagship to match its offline authority. The goal was a unified Shopify ecosystem that could handle high-volume B2B salon orders while offering a frictionless D2C experience across all five sub-brands.
KT Life Ecosystem Architecture
India's leading salon-grade protein treatments trusted by thousands of professional stylists nationwide.
Dermatological skin-barrier reset serums and clinical skincare under the KT Life banner.
Tear-free, paediatrician-guided hair and skin care for children.
Specialised performance and recovery care for athletes and active lifestyles.
Dedicated grooming, beard care, and anti-grey solutions for men.
A multi-store Shopify architecture serving all five KT Life sub-brands.
Bridging Offline Salon Authority with Premium D2C E-Commerce.
Strong offline success and high brand turnover created a complex digital challenge. The legacy website suffered from asset bloat, confusing navigation, and no clear separation between technical salon products and everyday home-care products.
Solving this required a complete architectural overhaul. The store had to guide professional stylists to bulk technical packs without alienating D2C customers looking to restock their favourite shampoos and serums.
Dual-Channel UX
Coded custom Liquid variant filtering so professional stylists can easily find technical packs while D2C customers quickly buy post-treatment home care.
Ecosystem Integration
Structured a clear brand architecture linking the core professional line with KT Life personal care, clinical skin reset serums, and KT Kids.
Enterprise Scalability
Engineered a robust backend capable of securely processing thousands of high-value B2B salon orders, supporting the brand's high turnover.

Technology Stack & SEO Performance
Shopify Ecosystem & Custom Features
The e-commerce platform runs on a deeply customised Shopify stack. I developed bespoke vanilla JavaScript merchandising widgets — including dynamic keratin treatment selectors, shampoo ingredient callouts, and interactive hair mask routines — instead of relying on heavy third-party apps.
To streamline buying, I implemented a lightweight AJAX cart drawer with automatic free-gift progress bars and one-touch payment gateway triggers, reducing cart abandonment across both B2B and D2C channels.
SEO & Performance Optimisation
Capturing organic search intent around professional hair products and personal care was a priority. I built a solid SEO foundation with canonical tags, complete Open Graph data, and interconnected schema markup linking the brand ecosystem to its founder.
On the performance side, I streamlined Liquid rendering logic, compressed assets aggressively, and introduced lazy loading. This brought page load times under 1.8s across devices, improving Quality Scores for mobile ad traffic and protecting organic rankings.
