Why can’t I just walk into the hospital and get all my vitamin levels return to normal instantly, similar to the IV solution bag thingy?

There’s some medspas that do offer vitamins through IV drip. It’s generally a luxury experience. It won’t be instant – but maybe an hour or two via solution.
In general – hospitals don’t know what you’re deficient in specifically without drawing bloodwork. Most vitamin deficiencies are not life threatening. Hospitals have higher priorities than giving you a vitamin drip.
Some people with chronic vitamin deficiencies already go to their doctor’s office for injected vitamin supplements.
Because you can just take a vitamin pill unless you have a medical emergency that requires you vitamin IV, in which case a hospital will give it to you.
They will also bill either you, your health insurance, or your government tens of thousands of dollars for it rather than the about 5 cents cost of a single pill of multivitamin that is good for one day if paid in a bottle containing hundreds of them for $10-30.
What’s the haircut thing about?
