We consider nonstationary Stokes equations in nondivergence form with variable viscosity coefficients and Navier slip boundary conditions with slip coefficient $\alpha$ in a domain $\Omega$. On the one hand, if $\alpha$ is sufficiently smooth, then we obtain a priori local regularity estimates for solutions near a curved portion of the boundary of the domain. On the other hand, if $\alpha$ depends on the curvature of the boundary of the domain, then we obtain local boundary estimates of Hessians of solutions where the right-hand side does not contain the pressure. Our results are new even if the viscosity coefficients are constant.
