About Us/Contact

In 2014, RJ McLearen recognized a need in his hometown of Payson, Arizona for stylists to have a local sharpening service to provide timely service and repairs for their shears. With over 40 years of experience sharpening knives, he believed he could meet that need, and after completing an intensive factory training course and going to work he found that many of the other rural stylists in Northern Arizona were similarly under served. The business expanded rapidly by word of mouth and a solid reputation of honest, friendly service.

 

By early 2020, over 300 stylists across Northern Arizona trusted Shear Joy to keep them sharp. In the spring of 2020, RJ formed a partnership with Craig Arps of Prescott Valley, allowing Shear Joy to provide better response to the many Yavapai County clients who relied on their service. Now known as Shear Joy of Northern Arizona, RJ and Craig have expanded to provide high quality shears and sharpening service to a growing number of Northern Arizona’s finest stylists with the same friendliness and honesty that they’ve grown to expect.
