The way you are saying it is correct. A good friend of mine is Lakhota Blackfoot and he's real spiritual and him and his family refer to them how you pronounced it. Also watch a lot of River Monsters and Jeremy Wade who speaks a bunch of different African languages and frequently visits tribes with shamans says it that way also. Your friend is wrong, there is no Y in the word and entering a random Y sounds makes no sense. If it was spelled sheaman it would likely be pronounced his way.

Shay-men is one of those kinds of pronunciations that the British make up because they adamantly refuse to pronounce things correctly.

It just seems like they were determined to be *shaay-mehn* you in that conversation. :P

However, you could do a test:
Tell them their skin looks dry, offer some shea-butter skin cream, see how they pronounce it.
"WHAT... OH, SHAA-BUTTER SKIN CREME? THANKS!"

Mystery solved.
