From the Glossary of LHC Terms and Abbreviations, originally written by PrincessBob:

Body Marker		DESCRIPTION
Buzz		An amusing way of denoting baldness or shavedness of one’s head. AKA: Scalp length.
Ear Length		Short, maybe styled as an ultra short bob, pixie cut or a grown-out high and tight, or any number of other styles. The point is their ears are being brushed by their longer hairs, and nothing else really is.
Chin Length		Short, often a bob, but many other styles result in hair which, at its longer points, is even with the chin.
Shoulder Length		Intro to what the world calls “long hair,” hair that brushes their shoulders and can often be styled and or pulled back in some way.
Arm Pit Length	APL	This indicates that your hair is below your sternum, and equal or longer than the point where your arms meet your body.
Mid Back Length	MBL	Locate MBL by wrapping a towel, measuring tape, bra, etc around your torso just below your pectoral muscles/above your diaphragm (which ever is easier to identify), this will show you where MBL lands on your back.
Bra-Strap Length	BSL	Same location as MBL.
Waist Length		Your hair is somewhere mid-back where your middle dips in at its smallest, often around or a little above the location of your belly button on the front.
Hip Length		ETA: pretty self explanatory... I think. ETA: great debates persist whether this is the top of the hip bone (iliac crest) or the wide part of the hips. The top of the hip bone is used to measure hair, the wide part of the hips is used for clothing measurements.
Butt Crack Length	BCL	The top of the crack.
Tail Bone Length	TBL	Bottom of the tailbone.
Classic		Hair is level or longer than the point where your legs meet your tuchus/bum/backside. You would sit on your hair if you sat straight down and or scooted back.
