Dying hair black

For some background: I work on the West Coast (not banking), dress code is on the more casual side of business casual (collared shirt, pants, professional-looking sneakers ok). Management is on the older side, I already stick out because I have much longer hair than most. I'm a first-year analyst.

I've been thinking of dying my hair black (currently brown/dirty blonde) - I think it would definitely improve my looks - but I'm scared that it would be frowned upon at the firm. Obviously, I'm not bleaching my hair and it's not like a client would be able to tell - but don't want to do something hasty. 

What do you think? Should I err on the side of caution or go for it?
