I don't recommend having them machine sharpened. That usually removes too much metal and the Shun knives have a non-standard bevel(15 degrees instead of the usual 20). You need a set of wet stones that are used for sharpening Japanese style knives. Something like this:

But if your knives are really dull you will need a lower grit wetstone. You start with the lower grit ones and then work your way up. Chef's knives should never need professional sharpening if you use the stone once a week or so.

Like has been said you can go the sand paper route, however in the long run that will end up costing you quite a bit as you burn through sand paper. I started out with sand paper and realized I was spending far too much so I decided up buy a cheap whetstone. I bought this taidea whetstone. It works great. You could even go for the 300/1000 if you truly don't look to get your chisels crazy sharp for only about $17.
Or you could get this combo with 1000/3000 grit stone its only around $20.
They are probably rebrands, but I doubt they're made by naniwa. This one from Amazon looks to be pretty much identical and around the same price: https://www.amazon.com/Combination-Corundum-Whetstone-Sharpening-Two-Sided/dp/B00KTH3DU8
My guess is that if it's any good at all, it's only because it's similar to a King which I don't really care for to begin with.
This one is available locally so probably that would be it
