The wall of hair hiding Venom's face is just as planned. No one will ever be able to read his face if it's hidden all the time. And it is safe to say he did reveal a sliver of it just for Peter. He's learning how test waters and flirt because he's never had to do it before. Here it's apparently required so he can get better tips.

But then comes Peter's request as he sends his now client up to get ready. He can't be serious...

"Please say you're joking. For one, that's a lot of alcohol. And two, it'll be rather expensive, even with such a discount." Meaning he's willing to shave off a couple of shots since they work together, but half? Venom crosses his arms, giving him a very stern look.
