It depends on what you have at home in the way of gear. If you don't have a good quality monitoring environment, you are going to make incorrect judgments regarding the mix. By environment, I mean the whole signal chain from audio interface to monitors to room acoustics.

What if I mix it and master it at the studio and load it into Pro Tools and EQ it a little bit? Do I lose anything?

You might want to study up a little on what mastering is actually for.
Maybe what you are asking is will your computer inherently degrade the original in some way. I would say no, only the human aspects of it will do the damage.
