Yes.

1. By gene therapy.

i. Get the necessary genes for your desired hair/eye colour on a vector/vectors.

ii. Deliver vectors into all the target cells (iris or hair follicle cells), preferably with specificity (this is the tricky part).

iii. Use homologous recombination with a truncated version of the same gene to knock-out your chromosomal genes for your natural hair colour. This would require another vector, or perhaps it could be done with using the same one.

iv. Integration of the new genes for your new hair/eye colour into the chromosome - use homologous recombination or random integration into the genome. Alternatively, if the vector is stable, no such integration is needed for the new genes.

2. By cloning yourself. Basically the same steps are used as for method 1, but you're only dealing with a single embryonic stem cell.

2 is perhaps the easier method, though the techniques for both method 1 and 2 have not yet been perfected.

Warning! While all this is theoretically possible, certain techniques for both methods have not yet been perfected and there is currently a very low probability of success!

No. "Permanent" hair dye actually lasts only 6 - 12 weeks, depending upon your hair type and how much exposure it gets.

There is no known method of changing one's iris color, only using colored contacts to give the appearance of a color change.

No, i grew to become into meant to have the attention shade/hair shade/epidermis tone I relatively have. i'm no longer asserting I won't substitute issues approximately my visual attraction, yet eye shade is a sort of issues that could no longer get replaced returned as quickly because it supposedly is completely altered. besides, there is colored contacts for that!

Nope, both characteristics are coded by your DNA in your genes and are hence unalterable.
